Hello!  My name is Doneta Johnston and this is my second year as the Hamline & Jie Ming School Nurse.  I am excited to be back and see all the new and returning students.  I enjoy interacting with the students and being able to help and teach them about their health care needs.

A little about me...  I worked in childcare while I was deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up and while in college.  I graduated in 1996 from then, Bethel College, and went straight into a job as a Labor and Delivery nurse.  I did that for about 17 years and then worked with Mom's and Babies doing homecare.  Last year I decided to make the change to being a School Nurse and I love it!! 

I have been married for the past 13 years and have 4 kids (2 girls and 2 boys) and 3 step kids, ranging in ages from 6 to 26!  In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, attempting gardening, attempting to cook and bake and being a mom!! 

I am looking forward to another great year!
