About Me

I am a graduate of Union University, with my BSN and MSN. I have been a nurse for 40 years and loved every minute. I spent 20+ years in pediatrics: neonatal ICU and diabetes at 2 large children's hospitals. The last 8 years have been in academia, teaching nursing to future nurses. I believe that every nurse is a "leader" and a "teacher". As healthcare continues to change, we need competent nurses that are both: strong leaders and teachers. I use several methods when teaching students and or clients: mentoring, coaching, instructing with return demonstration and positive feedback and constructive conversations. My hope is to leave a "legacy" of the passion for nursing for a future generation that will ultimately lead to improved patient and family care, involving the whole person and the mentality to treat others like you want to be treated.
