Joyce
Hansel,
Nurse
My name is Joyce
Hansel and I serve as the school nurse at
Pleasant Hill
Elementary School
. I am a registered nurse with 30 years experience, 19 years as a school
nurse. I love serving our students, families, and staff. I enjoy school
nursing because it allows me the opportunity to use the health office as
an extension of the classroom. I like to take advantage of the
“teachable moments” I have with students when they are ill or injured
and visit the nurse’s office.
My husband and I enjoy
spending time with each other and our family. We have two terrific adult
children, beautiful daughter in-law and grandparents of a handsome
grandson. When not working, we enjoy spending time with our grandson and
being around home. During the warmer months, we do a lot of camping and
golfing. Taking our 4 year old Brittany Spaniel for his daily runs (yes,
even on those below zero winter days) is fun and brings us great pleasure
and much laughter.
One of my favorite
quotes is: “One hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank
account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I
drove…but the world may be different because I was important in the life
of a CHILD.” ---Anonymous
