 Scott ColemanMy name is Scott Coleman and I am very excited to be working in the school system. I have dreamed about it for years. I am originally from Louisiana, but moved up to Plattsburgh in 1994 where I first started working as a nurse at Clinton County Nursing Home. I have had the privilege of working in numerous types of nursing fields since then including medical-surgical, cardiac, management, primary care, clinical education, dept. of corrections, health department, and my favorite, Pediatrics and post-partum. My original associate’s nursing degree came from Louisiana Tech University. I later obtained my bachelor’s in nursing from Excelsior College. My masters’ degree in healthcare administration came from RIT. I have 4 children from ages 6 to 21 and enjoy doing anything with them that pertains to the outdoors including hiking, canoeing, camping, fishing, hunting, biking, disc golf, etc. My job as a school nurse, much as a parent, will be to promote and maintain good health, mentally, physically, and emotionally so that the children can learn, socialize, and grow into the best versions of themselves they can be. |
