Nurse's Office

Jessica Forte, RN

Welcome to Newton Collins Elementary Health Office.  My name is Jessica Forte, BSN, RN and I am the school nurse.  I have been a nurse for four and a half years, a year and a half of those with Collins Elementary.  Before discovering my love for nursing I was a dog trainer, this career helped me realize my passion for helping people and families.  While doing prerequisites for nursing school I was reminded again that I loved teaching, so after a few years in the hospital moving over to school nursing was a natural fit.  Being a school nurse allows me to continue living the dream through a job that I love!   I love working with the community to help students stay safe and healthy here at school. 

When I am not at school I enjoy hanging out with my pets and my new baby boy!.  Being a mom is of course my favorite thing in the world!   I enjoy gardening, raising chickens, and swimming in Barton Springs.  I am a Disney fan and visit at least once a year. I also love summer trips to South Padre.   

I look forward to continuing to build relationships with the students and their families at Collins.  I feel fortunate everyday to have been offered a position here because I love the staff and families.  Collins is a wonderful school, with a dedicated and passionate staff and I am so happy to be a part of it!  I love being a Collins Kangaroo!
