Summary
I am recently retired from UH as NPD Specialist.
I have over 46 years experience in nursing. I have worked as a staff nurse and charge nurse for 20 years in many various areas of nursing throughout my career in acute hospitals and long term acute care hospitals. I have over 12 years in management and 14 years as an educator. I have also worked as an adjunct clinical instructor for an AD Nursing program. I feel this experience gives me a diverse background for nursing education in a hospital setting. I can offer enthusiasm and organization to be a productive member of your team.
