I earned my Bachelor's Degree of Nursing at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. In 2015 I obtained my School Nurse Certification for the State of Wisconsin. I have worked in several areas of health care. These include, many different departments of the hospital, long-term care, and home care. I began my role as the School Nurse in March of 2013. I also work part time as an Emergency Room nurse.
My passion has always been to care for others. I strive to improve the health and safety of our students.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. We love to go camping and spend time outdoors. I also try to find time to scrapbook and work on craft projects.

Welcome to the School District of Omro!
Listed below is information about our school health programs.
Immunizations -
Immunizations are required for all students in public schools. If your child has been immunized in the state of Wisconsin, I do not need a copy of this record. You may view your child’s immunization record on the Wisconsin Immunization Registry with your child’s name and Social Security Number. If you choose not to vaccinate your child, you will need to meet with Karen Carley, the school nurse, to sign a waiver.
Health Problems -
Your child spends a good deal of time at school. For their safety, please share any pertinent health information with Karen Carley, the school nurse, and/or their classroom teacher. This specifically applies to any allergies or ongoing medical conditions.
Extra Curricular Activities -
We do not share health information or medications with coaches or leaders of after school activities. Please remember to share this information with them, as needed.
Medication -
The only medication that the school stocks for students is Epinephrine at school in case of severe allergic reaction. If your child requires any other medication at school you will need to complete a medication form and bring in the medication. All medications must be in their original packaging, prescription medications require a doctor’s signature, and medications may not be transported by students.
When should I keep my child home from school?
If they have a temperature over 100°F
They should stay home for 24 hours after they are fever free without medication.
If they have vomiting or diarrhea
They should stay home for 24 hours after symptoms have resolved.
If they have any contagious illness
Students with infections like strep may return to school after taking an antibiotic for 24 hours.
Any questions should be directed to your child's medical provider or the school health office.
