“Working as a school nurse in the school district while also being a part of the Memorial team has been such an amazing experience. I get to do a job that I love, and reap the benefits that come with an amazing team of coworkers beside me. Having this group to share ideas, goals, education, and support plays a vital role in having a successful school year. We lean on each other in more ways than one, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Not all school nurses are as lucky to have a rockstar team like ours!”
-Raeshel Duncan, School Nurse, Meridian Grade School
"Working as a school nurse for Memorial Health System has provided me with the best of both worlds. When it comes to working in the school, I get to spend my day taking care of kids and enjoying the hours that allow me to still have a good work/life balance. As far as working for Memorial Health, this provides me with the ability to keep my medical, dental, and other benefits for myself and my family at a very reasonable cost, as well as being able to contribute towards my retirement fund. Working for Memorial also allows me the privilege of working under exceptional leadership and with a magnificent network of fellow school nurse colleagues!"
-Nikia Enlow, School Nurse, Meridian Middle and High School
“Being a colleague of Memorial Health while contracted with MF school is a unique opportunity to promote wellness while caring for the health of students in a school setting. The collaboration between Memorial Health and Maroa-Forsyth allows for optimal use of networking and healthcare resources to identify diverse needs, social determinants, and prevention strategies to help improve the health outcomes for each student. I continue to see many rewarding benefits within this partnership which makes me proud to be part of this vital role.”
-Kami Kingery, School Nurse, Maroa-Forsyth Middle and High School
“I am a school nurse who is contracted through Memorial. I love my job and working for Memorial. I feel I am part of a family and Memorial and my Supervisor appreciate me. I feel like if I have questions, there is always someone I can call to get answers or help me find the answers. We have a great group of school nurses in our program.”
-Stacy Hickey, School Nurse, Mt. Pulaski Grade, Middle, and High School
“This is my first year as a school nurse. The collaboration between Memorial and the school district has been very beneficial, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic with the ever-changing expectations and rules. I was able to reach out to other district nurses and schools to communicate and better meet the needs of our students, staff, and school.”
