About Nurse Heiser
I am humble to have been chosen to serve our student body and staff family at Northwest Christian School. Thank you for entrusting me to participate in this life-giving Kingdom work, in caring for our students.
At the age of 10, my passion for nursing was ignited, as I was able to witness the birth of my youngest sister. From that moment on, I knew without a doubt, I wanted to deliver babies for the rest of my life and care for people. Grand Canyon University provided me the opportunity to obtain my degree with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). I have been privileged to carry out this God-given passion for the past 13 years in Women and Infant Services, as a labor and delivery nurse. Alongside of labor and delivery, I have also had experience in couplet-care (postpartum), transition nursery and feeder-grower neonates in the NICU.
In conjunction with my 13-year bedside career as a registered nurse in L&D, I have been blessed to return to my alma matter (GCU) as a clinical professor, to educate the next generation of nurses in the realm of obstetric clinicals and lab.
I am passionate about teaching, serving others, sharing about Jesus, my love for OB and the ministry of nursing. I am a mom to two sweet boys, who currently attend NCS, and a wife of 15 years to my husband, Alex. We are natives to Arizona and have been connected to the NCS community for the past 15 years.
My office is open Monday through Friday, between the school hours of 8am to 3pm. Please feel free to stop in or contact me by:

About Nurse Jacobsen
I was born in Anaheim, California and moved to Arizona in 1996. During high school I was on the cheer team and one day after practice a friend overheard my mom call me “Teeny” which was her nickname for me. From that day forward I was no longer Christine but Teeny to all who knew me. I graduated from Sunrise Mountain High School where I met my high school sweetheart who later became my amazing husband. We were married in 2005 and have 4 beautiful children. All my life I dreamed of becoming a nurse and in 2004 I graduated from ASU with my BSN. The majority of my nursing career has been in the acute care setting where I worked on a Medical/Surgical unit and specialized in Oncology and Urology. I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the Northwest community and cherish the opportunity to pour my heart and love for Jesus into your children. I am on campus Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.
Sincerely, Teeny Jacobsen, RN, BSN
About Nurse Debbie
I am a Georgia native and have proudly served as a registered nurse for 46 years. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta.
My clinical background is primarily in surgical nursing, with 25 years of experience in the Operating Room. I have also worked in post-anesthesia care and served as a Captain in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps for 11 years, including active duty and reserves. During my military service, I held the position of Head Nurse for the Operating Room of the 42nd Field Hospital at Fort Knox, Kentucky, when it was part of the 194th Armored Brigade. Additionally, I had the privilege of serving as a Hospice nurse for five years.
I originally came to Phoenix as a travel nurse and, after three years of assignments, made the city my permanent home—where I have lived and worked for the past 32 years. I am honored to serve as the school nurse at Northwest Christian School, working in the Health Office on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to care for and support the students and staff in this role.
Sincerely, Nurse Debbie, BSN RN
