Summary
Twenty three years of immense Registered Nurse Experience. In 2016, Upon graduation from college I embarked on Medial Surgical Nursing for my first 4 years. I gained a very broad foundation for my nursing care. Then I set out to work in the area that I had a true calling for: Labor and Delivery/Maternity. Throughout my 23 years I invested a lot of time and financial investment in my educational portfolio. Continuing education has been a strong focus throughout my career. I am excited to learn the current best nursing practice, as well as, legal issues arising from my nursing practice. I try to take advantage of all educational opportunities available to me.
