Hi! I am Nurse Cadie. I am a wife, a mom of four boys, and a pediatric nurse with more than 13 years of experience, along with over 19 years in the medical field. Children have always been at the heart of my work—whether that means advocating for their health, supporting them through illness or injury, or simply offering reassurance when they need it most. I am truly honored to care for your most precious gift—your child.
As the school nurse for our Pioneer family, my primary responsibility is to keep every student healthy, safe, and ready to learn. I provide a wide range of health services, including student clinic visits for first aid and illness, administration of routine and emergency medications, and classroom health education. I also develop and maintain Emergency Action Plans for students with medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, seizures, and severe allergies, and I train school staff to respond confidently and appropriately during medical emergencies.
Another important part of my role is ensuring that all students meet Kentucky’s health requirements for school attendance. State law requires every student to have a current, valid immunization certificate on file at all times. In addition, students entering school must have the following required health screenings:
- A physical examination completed within one year prior to the start of school
- A vision exam performed by an ophthalmologist
- A dental exam completed by January 1 of the first year of enrollment
These requirements are essential in keeping our Pioneer students healthy and ready to succeed in the classroom.
My hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. I welcome communication from families and am always happy to answer questions, address concerns, or update medical information for your child.

I look forward to working with you to support the health, safety, and success of every Pioneer student.
