I received a Batchelor of Science in Nursing degree from UNC-Charlotte.  
Before becomming a school nurse in 1999, I worked in a variety of roles, from 
medical surgical nursing, emergency room nursing, psychiatry, ambulatory 
surgery and endoscopy. I obtained National School Nurse Certification in 
2002. Being a school nurse is a privilege and I enjoy working with children,  
parents and staff. Feel free to call or visit me if you have any questions or 
suggestions.

Goals of the School Health Services Program

"School Nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that 
advances the well being, academic success, and life-long achievement of 
students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses 
to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and 
potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively 
collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, 
self-management, self-advocacy, and learning."
