My name is Mrs. Patrice Grider, and I am the Health Science teacher at NBHS. I have been a registered nurse for 30 years, I am a certified pharmacy technician, and I have earned a Master's of Education degree. Outside of education, I have worked in many different roles as a nurse. My favorite areas of nursing have been pediatrics, mental health, and geriatrics. My free time is spent with my family--husband, two kids, and two grandsons.
