Summary

I have been in the medical field for over 18 years, 8 years as a registered nurse. Quality, accuracy, and compassion of patient care is of upmost importance to me. I constantly review patient care to determine if my course of care was appropriate and think of ways to improve. I do this to better my own practice as well as to find continually improving methods to train the multitude of students I have precepted.
