Mrs. Shelly Palmer MS, RN
Dear Wheatland-Chili Families and Friends,
My Name is Shelly Palmer and I am writing to introduce myself as the new school nurse at Wheatland-Chili Middle/High School.
A few things about myself: I am an alumni of Wheatland-Chili, I am married, and I have three children ages 24, 19, and 16. Our family recently moved back to Scottsville and are elated to be back in our home town after so many years. I absolutely love children and approach nursing practice with the attitude of “what if this were my family member or child?” and I want to assure you that your child’s health and safety are my top priority.
As far as my background and education; I am a registered nurse with a master’s degree in Healthcare Management from the University Of Rochester School Of Nursing. I began my career in 2013 at the University of Rochester where I held a position in Medical Surgical Nursing spending the last three of those years as a Nurse Manager.
I would like to let you know that I look forward to getting to know everyone throughout this upcoming year and while these are unprecedented times, I will do everything within my power to maintain transparency while providing families with the most up to date and accurate information related to COVID-19 policy and procedure.
I am looking forward to a great year!
Respectfully,
Shelly A. Palmer MS, RN.
School Nurse- Wheatland-Chili Middle/High School

The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) has issued a new definition of school nurses as below:
School Nursing, a specialized practice of public health nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates normal development, and advances academic success. School Nurses, grounded in ethical and evidenced-based practice, are the leaders that bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student -centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potentials.
