Biography
During my almost 40 years in nursing, I have gained a lot of experience in a variety of patient care areas including Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care, Pediatric Ambulatory Care, Developmental Follow-Up of High-Risk Infants and Children, Infants and Children with Special Health Care Needs and now as a Clinical Simulation Educator. I really enjoy working with the next generation of nurses preparing to become Registered Nurses, as well as graduate students seeking advanced degrees.
