Gail Straney has been a nurse at Homewood’s Willow School for 19 years. She knows how to treat students who come to her with a variety of ailments and pre-existing conditions.
Despite all that hands-on knowledge, Straney decided to get a national certification for school nurses. It’s not a job requirement, just something Straney wanted to accomplish in her long career – 22 years as a hospital nurse and another 19 years at Willow.
