Hi! My name is Jessica Sylvester and I am the Nurse at Foot of Ten Elementary School. I am a graduate of Penn Cambria High School and University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown with a degree in Respiratory Therapy. I began my career as a Respiratory Therapist and after 5 years I decided to build upon my degree and completed my Nursing degree at Mount Aloysius College. My background in nursing includes Emergency Medicine, Postop Surgical Care, and Inpatient Rehabilitation, working with a variety of patient populations including premature infants, adolescents, adults, elderly, and palliative care.
In 2017 I completed my BSN as the next step in my career growth. My passion for helping others is why I became a nurse and educator. This passion and my love for children is what led me to this current role caring for the students and their families at Foot of Ten. I enjoy interacting and taking care of the students and being a support for them. I look forward to serving the students and district moving forward. My door is always open and I encourage all students, teachers, and families to stop in!
Please do not hesitate to call or email me with any questions or concerns.
