Summary
As a nurse for 29 years with various hospital, home care, and teaching experiences, I still love nursing and still love my job! As an educator, I have taught multiple classes to large and small groups, and oriented many staff members. My training videos posted on YouTube have helped many of our staff members and many around the world learn how to pull arterial sheaths and use a hemostasis device. A Master's degree in Nurse Education has furthur enhanced my teaching skills and has fueled my enthusiasm for educating nursing students.
Objective
My objective is to teach undergraduate nursing students full time in a clinical, classroom, or online capacity.
