Hello!

I am Nurse Lange, your School Nurse at Shaw VPA Elementary School. I have been with the district since 2015 and have been a Registered Nurse for 16 years, and have been a School Nurse for 10 years. I have also worked in medical-surgical, behavioral health, long-term, and skilled nursing settings.

I have worked in elementary, middle, and high schools with Saint Louis Public Schools. I love school nursing because I have the chance to have a long-term impact on the lives and health outcomes of the students, families, and staff I work with on a daily basis. I also love public education; my older son graduated from Roosevelt High School in 2016 and my younger son is also a student in Saint Louis Public Schools.

I grew up in Saint Louis and am a proud resident of Saint Louis City. I graduated from Saint Louis Community College at Forest Park with an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing in 2008, and Chamberlain College of Nursing with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2014. My main interests are Public Health, School Health, and the epidemiology and prevention of vaccine-preventable diseases. I also love music and my favorites are musicals, Whitney Houston, Lauryn Hill, The Beatles, Weezer, Prince, Nirvana, gospel, Stone Temple Pilots, classic rock, and classic country music, although I promise not to sing. 

We work closely with our community partners, Kids Vision for Life, Affinia Mobile Dental Unit , and others. I will post these links here on my page. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
