Meet Our New Days Park Nurse - Robin Borzellere Meet Our New Days Park Nurse - Robin Borzellere

zoom_out_map

Hi everyone,


My name is Robin Borzellere. My nursing journey began as a high school senior. I obtained my LPN license and continued on to complete the Registered Nursing program at Sisters of Charity Hospital. I received my Associates degree in 1993. I have worked in many settings including on a Med-Surg unit, as a Home Health Care Nurse/Supervisor and most recently School Nursing. I learned that I love caring for kids and it is now my passion. My last position was at a BPS of 900 kids pre-K through eighth grade.


I chose nursing as my path because I wanted to help others. I have an endless amount of love and compassion and really enjoy meeting new people and learning about them.


I am a single mom of 3 children, a dog and a cat. I have a deep love for animals and enjoy singing, music, shopping, art and exploring new places and foods.


I am really excited about my new venture here at EVCS and look forward to meeting all of you and being part of this wonderful team!

When Should My Child Stay Home

As the weather begins to change, we will begin to see an uptick in illness. Please follow the guidelines below if your child is sick:


Children should stay home if:

* They have a fever above 100.0. Students can return when their temperature is normal for 24-hours, without the use of fever reducing meds.

* Constant cough

* Vomiting and/or diarrhea

* Eye discharge that is yellow or green in color
