Summary:

Highly motivated and passionate health and wellness practitioner with 38 years of combined critical care, wellness, home health care and emergency/trauma nursing experience. Looking to make significant impact on quality of patient care by using outcome based assessments. While an open heart nurse in Atlanta’s world renowned Emory University Hospital as well as working in multiple Tampa area heart units, I was exposed to the most advanced heart procedures and medical treatments. Also with 15 years as a trauma and ER RN, I widened my expertise. This knowledge all combines to give the patient the most likelihood of success out of an acute care facility. My true passion is to educate not only the patient and their caregivers but to also educate other clinicians to better the outcomes of my patients. Recent Experience
