EMPLOYMENT

I have taught several classes for the RNBS completion program as well as the family nurse practitioner program.

June 2004 to Present

Family Nurse Practitioner; Veteran’s Administration

July 2002 to June 2004

Family Nurse Practitioner; Decatur Vein Clinic

Fort Wayne, Indiana

At the vein clinic, I saw patients with the diagnosis of varicose veins and venous insufficiency. I treated the patients using ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. I did diagnostic procedures and physical exams to establish the diagnosis and worked closely with insurance companies in explaining the procedure. I supervised the employees of the clinic and worked independently, with the physician available by phone if needed. I joined this company soon after its’ inception, and helped establish and set up the clinic.

May 2001 to July 2002

Family Nurse Practitioner and Clinic Manager; Clinic of Hope

Kokomo, Indiana

As a Family Nurse Practitioner at the Clinic of Hope, I saw indigent patients without any health insurance. Many of these patients had complex health issues and they all had social and financial issues as well. I saw mostly the adult population, with a great deal of women’s health and some obstetrics. The most frequent diagnoses I dealt with were diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory illnesses, as well as lifestyle issues. I reported directly to the Vice President of Patient Care Services. I was also responsible for the budget and compliance issues, as well as the day to day management of the clinic.

May 2000 to May 2001

Family Nurse Practitioner; Anderson Family Health Specialists

Anderson, Indiana

As a Family Nurse Practitioner at this facility, I saw a wide variety of patients, from the very young to the very old. I saw those with acute illness and collaborated with the physician in the care of chronic illnesses. I spent a large part of my time educating patients on their particular disease process and risk factor reduction, as well as health promotion.

June 1995 to May 2000

I worked as a registered nurse in a variety of capacities and departments at Marion General Hospital. I was a charge nurse and worked on the telemetry and intensive care units.
