Nurse
My name is Crystal Murphy and I will be your new school nurse at GWCES! I have been a nurse for over 17 years and worked at our local hospital my entire career. I did 5 years on the cardiac floor and almost 13 years in the ER. I am eager to apply my past professional experiences to the school setting while learning about the school process and creating a safe learning environment with you.
