Nurse's Office
Abby Orrell, RN
Hi Bears,
I am entering my 8th year as a school nurse in Wylie ISD. I am married and we have two fantastic children. Our pets consist of 2 cats, a dog, and a very needy livestock animal. Not all of those are inside pets, thankfully! I enjoy cheering my kids on at baseball games or stock shows; but if I have free time, I enjoy working in the yard, working out or reading. Being a school nurse has been the most rewarding position because kids are awesome! I love being here to care for your children while at school. Safety and health are my top priorities, so please contact me if I can help your student with any medical needs. I am looking forward to a great school year!
