BIO:
I graduated from Linfield-Good Samaritan School of
Nursing with a BSN a little over 20 years ago. I have
worked at Providence Saint Vincent Hospital and Medical
Center for most of that time. I started as a Med-Surg
floor nurse. I have been in my present job for over
10 years. Currently I work as a Staff Nurse/ Relief
Charge Nurse in our Short Stay unit as a Pre-op and
Post-op Phase 2 nurse. We have 53 beds in our unit
that feed into over 25 ORs. I have been an ASPAN and
NPANA member for around 8 years. I have also been
certified as a CAPA nurse for a little over that amount
of time. A little piece of trivia, I was one of the
first on our unit to become certified. I have been
a member of NPANA-GPD (Greater Portland District)
helping to put on conferences and encouraging nurses
to join ASPAN and become certified for several years.
I am looking forward to my years on the NPANA Board.
I feel that I learn something new about the organization
or myself everyday. Looking forward to meeting you
all, my fellow NPANA members. |
