Nurse Kelly MSN-PH, RN, CLIII
I am so blessed to be taking care of your student at APPARO Academy! I have been a Pediatric Registered Nurse with Children's Hospital of Georgia at Augusta University for over 30 years. I have also been a camp nurse for various resident camps for 15+ years and the youth ministry nurse for many youth mission trips and retreats. I attained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1992 from the Medical College of Georgia and my Master of Science in Nursing with an emphasis in Public Health in 2015 from Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, Arizona. I focus on self-care and preventative care. I have been with APPARO Academy since it first opened in 2019.
I am a member of the National Association of School Nurses and The Georgia Association of School Nurses.
I am the mother of four incredible adult children and a child of the Most High. I was raised an Army brat and am proud of it. I achieved the Girl Scout Gold Award and the Nursing DAISY Award. I love the outdoors, talking to my flowers, camping, adventuring, and everything Disney. My most recent adventure has been growing my own outdoor trainset and village. I love animals and have two incredible baby pups, Scout and Sapphire.

I truly enjoy helping in the clinic and seeing all of the kids every day. I have an 8-year-old son who attended Apparo in 2019. He is deaf and bilaterally implanted with cochlears. I love interacting with the kids and families, and love learning new things every day from Nurse Kelly.

My name is Joanna. I have been working at APPARO as a substitute teacher since 2019 and have recently come on as a part-time nursing assistant. I have a medically complex daughter and have 6 years of first-hand experience with caring for a child with multiple care concerns. I love helping others and believe I have a calling to work with children.
