CLINICAL EXPERTISE:
Areas of clinical expertise
include two years of trauma/neuro intensive care, and 9 years full
time / 6 years p.r.n. pool in the emergency department. I have
also worked in ambulatory care in a community clinic, and have
prehospital experience as an EMT & paramedic.
I also have management experience as an off shift house supervisor
which included clinical problem solving for the staff, as well
as responding to all acute changes in patient’s conditions & cardiac
arrests.

with sophomore level students since 2005. I teach the clinical portion
of NUR 0080 on an orthopedic unit and NUR 0082 on a general rehab
unit. I also assist in the skills lab during NUR 0080.
