Welcome to the Nurse’s Corner! The students call me “Nurse Boyce”. I graduated from Neumann University and have over 10 years of experience in critical care and emergency department nursing, in the hospital setting. I joined the School District of Philadelphia in 2018 and truly enjoy working with students and families in our school community. Below you will find helpful information and links for health services. Please reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns or needs. I am here to help in any way I can!
