BIO:
I work for Allenmore Hospital, Tacoma Washington, part of Multicare Health Systems. I am the evening charge nurse in the PACU. I have worked in the PACU as staff and management for the past 20 years. I have been a RN for 26 years. I became involved with NPANA because I have enjoyed the benefits of the organization over the years in education and networking and I felt that it was time to give back. I am very happy with this decision as I am learning a lot and look forward to continuing NPANA's mission.

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.

BIO:
Having spent the first seven years of my nursing career in critical care, ER and dialysis, I needed a change in hours after the birth of my first child. This led me to the only interesting job available, Recovery Room. And there I have been for twenty-one years. Presently, I am a perioperative coordinator at St. Francis hospital in Federal Way, Washington. My job responsibilities include the management of our pre-admit clinic, the surgical/procedure admit area, phase I of the main OR, and phase I and II/extended stay of our day surgery unit. I have maintained my CPAN status since 1990. Along with my husband, son and daughter, my family consists of two dogs and a Goffin’s cockatoo. Our roots extend back to Missouri and Wisconsin. I look forward to serving the members and the organization of NPANA.
