Neary School Health Office


Neary School Nurse

Mrs. Debra Parsons, MSN, RN, NCSN

Welcome to the Neary Elementary School! Your child's health and well-being is my top priority. Please feel free to contact me at any time with concerns and updates in your child's health. On the following pages you will find links for medication forms, health office concerns, mandated screenings, FAQ, and other helpful information.

My background: I have been a nurse for over 38 years. I spent 25 years as a hospital nurse, working in the emergency room, newborn intensive care, and pediatric intensive care units. I began subbing in the schools on my days off while my kids were young, and became one of the first float nurses in this district in 2008. I have enjoyed this career switch, and am happy to be here for your students' needs, whether physical or emotional.

A little more about me: I am married to my husband of 30 years (a retired Naval Aviator), and we have three grown children; my oldest daughter is also a nurse, my middle daughter is a Physician Assistant, and my son is an engineer. I have a golden doodle who loves to eat socks, and a new sheepadoodle puppy. I love travelling with my husband and my kids, every chance we get.

From 8:45-3:00, your kids are my kids. Together, we are a team! One of my main goals is to encourage your child to become more independent and self-reliant, so that they are ready for middle school and beyond. Nothing makes me happier than keeping my students healthy and happy during their two years at Neary Elementary School!
