Keri Owen, R.N.
Hello, my name is Keri Owen. I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Central Oklahoma. I have been the school nurse at Godley Middle School for ten years. I have been married for eleven years and I have two girls. I love being a school nurse because I enjoy working with this age group of kids and I can spend quality time with my family.
