The New York State Association of School Nurses is recognizing Roseann Gardinier, RN, for her strong commitment and dedication to the profession of school nursing, as well as for her volunteer efforts with NYSASN.
Mrs. Gardinier is the school nurse for Roberts Street Elementary School, and Zone 10 Representative on the board of NYSASN.
In a letter sent to RSES Principal Andrea Centro, NYSASN President Carol Bumbolo, MSN, RD, NCSN praised Mrs. Gardinier for her collaborative efforts with other school nurses throughout New York State to insure the health and educational success of all children. President Bumbolo wrote that Mrs. Gardinier’s role on the NYSASN board is directly tied to the success of students in the Canastota Central School District, as board members are committed to school nursing and strongly believe that the role of the school nurse positively impacts student outcomes.
Mrs. Gardinier has been a nurse since 2001, and began her school nursing career at RSES in 2009.
Mrs. Gardinier said in response to this recognition, “I am honored to be serving my fellow Zone 10 school nurses as their representative. Zone 10 consists of 6 counties including Cayuga, Herkimer, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, and Oswego counties. In this role, I will be able to confer with other dynamic school nurses from all over New York State as well as keep current with all the legislation that is circulating through our government. I will be the liaison for local nurses, and allow them to have a voice in the regulations and life-changing laws that affect not only our nursing practice, but ultimately focus on the health and safety of the school children of Central New York.”
