Nurse Bio

Hello

My name is Lillie Collins. I have been the school nurse for Nickajack ES for five years. I am married and have two wonderful sons. I have a dog name Tiger Lily and a cat name Garfield. I obtained my BSN degree from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. I am currently attending the University of Phoenix online to obtain my Masters degree in Integrative nursing.
