about me

I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner, Board Certified since 2011 (ANCC).  I have worked through different specialities since then.  Briefly, I started in cardiology and was devouring ECG continuing education courses.  I had experience as both a telemetry unit nurse and emergency department nurse so, I could read rhythm strips and knew ACLS pretty well.  But, starting out in a specialty like cardiology, whew!  Then I moved and landed a job in hospital medicine and wanted to learn more about ECGs, looking at chest x-rays, and wanted a refresher on treatment plans.  Then came the most difficult transition, back into the emergency department since 2015 where I would have to perform procedures that I had not done since that one class in NP school.  I went from the most atrocious practitioner to suture to one of the most skilled.  I know this because when I left the first ED to go to another hospital system, my supervising physician loved to recount how horrible I was but that he would now want me to suture him if he needed it (what?!?).  So I hope to develop accessible courses online where you can pace yourself, have the option to book a small group or one-on-one session with me whether live or in person, earn CE accredited via AANP and provide resources (free) via blog posts.
