I have been in Healthcare for 22 years. I have a wide array of experience. I started my journey in Healthcare, as a certified nurses aide, became a medication aide, then I became an LPN. I later became an RN who was quickly promoted to a director of nursing. During my DON and mentoring I completed my BSN and then my MSN. My masters' degree is as a nurse educator. I aspire to recieve my NP doctorate in psychiatric nursing. I have traveled up and down the east coast with employers and finally making my home in Jupiter, Florida. I am looking to find my future place of employment where I can grow and achieve the goals of those I serve and my own. Work experience
