Welcome to Thomas H. Dudley's School Nurse webpage!
My name is Denise L. Martinez and I am the School Nurse at Thomas H. Dudley Family School. I have the pleasure of working with students, staff, parents & the community at Dudley for the last two years. Prior to that I worked at a Charter School in Camden City for over 4 years.
I started my Nursing career as an ICU Nurse & later worked as a Home Care Nurse. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from the University of Puerto Rico. I completed my School Nurse Certification at Rowan University.

Services include: first aid, emergency care, medication administration, immunization & health records, health screenings, medical referrals & health information resources.
