Hello, friends! I'm Nurse Joy Johnson, RN, BSN, and I love helping children learn about their amazing bodies.
As a pediatric nurse and health educator, I believe that every question is a healthy question. Whether you're wondering about germs, asthma, allergies, healthy eating, exercise, sleep, feelings, or how your heart works, I'm here to help you learn in a fun and easy-to-understand way.
My journey hasn't always been easy. I am a breast cancer survivor and have faced other health challenges along the way. Those experiences taught me the importance of courage, faith, healthy habits, and never giving up. They also helped me understand how important it is to listen, care, and support others when they are going through difficult times.
Today, I use my knowledge and life experiences to help children become Health Heroes. Together we'll explore how our bodies work, learn healthy habits, understand different health conditions, and discover ways to stay strong in both body and mind.
When I'm not teaching, you can usually find me wearing one of my colorful headwraps, enjoying a healthy smoothie, spending time with family, or preparing new Health Hero missions for kids just like you.
Remember: You are stronger than you think, smarter than you know, and capable of amazing things.
My scarf is beautiful, but my courage shines even brighter.
❤️ Nurse Joy Johnson, BSN, RN
