My name is Catie Ensz. I have been the school nurse at Unity Braxton Middle since the 2016-2017 school year. Prior to working at Unity Braxton I have practiced in the settings of in-patient pediatric nursing, in-home pediatric nursing (medically fragile), and school nursing in and outside of PWCS. I received my BSN in 2007 and my certification in pediatrics in 2008. I also have a BA in Spanish. I decided at age 14 that I wanted to be a nurse and never looked back! Areas of special interest include pulmonary care and diabetes education. I am a member of the insulin/glucagon teaching team for PWCS. I love teaching students and their families how to better optimize students' health and well-being in the school setting and beyond. I tell our students that I promise to provide for them the same level of care that I would hope to for my own family members. Please reach out to me (email is the most efficient) with thoughts, questions, or concerns. My email is enszce@pwcs.edu. If you need to reach me during school hours, please call 703-361-3185. Our fax number (for medical forms, health treatment plans, etc.) is 703-335-6035.
