About The Nurse

Hello Students and Parents-
I want to tell you a little about my self.
I have been a Registered Nurse for 23 years.  I have a Bachelor of Science 
Degree in Nursing from Albany Medical Center and SUNY Institute of Technology 
in Utica.
Most of my nursing experience is in emergency departments of level one care 
centers such as Albany Medical Center and Norfolk General in Virginia.
But I also have experience with surgery, oncology(cancer) and hospice.

I have been married for 21 years, have 3 children, and love what I do.
Please feel free to contact me at anytime with questions.

Together with the rest of the school community, we can make sure your 
children have the most successful high school years possible.

Thank you for letting me know your children.

Valerie Persons RN
