For the past 20 years I have worked primarily in the acute care hospital capacity with adult neurological trauma patients. My favorite RN position was over the 7 years that I worked as a travel nurse in Arizona, California, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. I have been teaching and instructing nursing students for a little over 8 years through didactic, laboratory, high fidelity simulation, and clinical instruction. In my spare time I enjoy planting flowers and spending time with my husband and 3 kids.
