Katy ISD Recognizes<br />
Nurse Of The Year<br />
“Save one life and you are a hero. Save one hundred lives and you are a<br />
nurse.” That is one of the most notorious quotes to describe nurses, the<br />
dedicated professionals who are critical to the medical field. Katy ISD,<br />
has 74 exceptionally well-prepared campus nurses and Kim Cromie, from<br />
Bonnie Holland Elementary has been named the 2017-18 Nurse of the<br />
Year!<br />
Nominations for the “Nurse of the Year” recognition were submitted<br />
earlier this year by colleagues across the district who described why<br />
a particular nurse was outstanding. The required criteria included<br />
professionalism, work experience, volunteerism and clinic management<br />
experience.<br />
Cromie was brought to tears when she learned she was the final<br />
candidate for Katy ISD. “Being a school nurse is immensely rewarding<br />
because not only are you instrumental in keeping students healthy, you<br />
also provide valuable information to keep the entire campus safe,” said<br />
Cromie. “It’s very gratifying when I end my day knowing that my work<br />
protects the Bonnie Holland huskies. Being able to serve our students<br />
and community in this way is a privilege and a gift,” added Cromie.<br />

The Director of Health Services for Katy ISD, Therese Highnote, stated that<br />
a school nurse isn’t just about taking temperatures and administering<br />
bandages. All across the district, campus nurses are in a position to<br />
promote wellness, prevention and provide access to care for children to<br />
be healthy.<br />
In the hospital setting during an emergency situation there is no<br />
red button to push and a team comes flying in with equipment and<br />
medications to give. The school nurse stands alone with her knowledge,<br />
experience and professionalism ready to react when needed.<br />
Linnea Griffith, the principal of Bonnie Holland Elementary indicated, “It<br />
is a wonderful opportunity to be a part of this recognition and to show<br />
Kim how much everyone at Bonnie Holland Elementary appreciates<br />
everything she does.” In 2017, a collaboration between Nurse Cromie, the<br />
Bonnie Holland elementary staff and Texas Children’s Hospital resulted<br />
in the campus being recognized as a “Project Adam Heart Safe School.”<br />
Besides keeping students healthy, nurse Cromie also mentors other<br />
nurses in Katy ISD.<br />
