Kristen Palermo BSN, RN

 

I graduated from Montclair State University with a Bachelor's in Biology in 2019. I went on to continue my education at Caldwell University, receiving my Bachelor's in Nursing in 2021.  I started working at St. Barnabas as a Medical Surgical Float Nurse, and quickly knew working with adults was not my favorite. Moved on to an opportunity to work with kids with cancer at a summer camp in Staten Island, and loved it.  So I continued my journey with Pediatric Nursing at Morristown Medical Center. I was able to learn a lot there, but soon came to realize that bedside nursing just was not for me.  So I moved on to other nursing opportunities to find what best would suit me, and that led to me working at a Pediatric Urgent Care and now here, at Washington Elementary as a school nurse.  I am excited for this new opportunity and journey! Please feel free to reach out to me any time with any questions or concerns. Thank you for trusting me with your kids!
