Joyce
Hansel,
NurseMy name
is Joyce Hansel and I serve as the school nurse at Pleasant Hill Elementary
School. I am a registered nurse with 29 years experience, 18 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 and beautiful daughter in-law. When not working, we enjoy being
around home but 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.”
