Personal Statement:

I am a competent, motivated, reliable, and conscientious professional who

will strive to make a difference in your practice and/or organization by

providing quality care to each patient.

Objective:

To locate employment that will utilize my current nursing education,

skills, and experience in a position that will challenge my current

knowledge, implement evidence based research to guide practice, and create

an environment of continuous growth in my profession.

Education:

Marshall University

One John Marshall Drive

Huntington, West Virginia 25755

Post Masters Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate

August 2008-Present (Anticipated Graduation Date: May 2010)

Project:

A research based blind, quantitative study was conducted using statistical

data to analyze the efficacy of current diagnostic testing used to identify

heart failure and/or pulmonary edema. Serum B-Type Natriuretic Peptide

(BNP) and traditional chest films were evaluated to identify a positive

correlation in the consistency of accurate diagnosis. The results revealed

that BNP levels consistently were accurate in the diagnosis of heart

failure and/or pulmonary edema, where as chest films were sporadic in

diagnosing the disease processes.

Masters in the Science of Nursing, MSN

Degree Obtained: May 2006

Project:

A population needs analysis was conducted in a specialized clinical post

operative care unit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients.

Statistical data collected in the analysis revealed several insufficiencies

within the current educational program. An effective and efficient

educational program was designed focusing on the identified deficiencies

that were previously noted. The revised educational program objectives,

goals, strategies, and actions were aimed at post surgical care, nutrition,

activity limitations, expected and unexpected outcomes, and the overall re-

entry process into life after surgical intervention.
