Four Years combined experience teaching Allied Health 10th -12th grade along with Community College Nurse-Aide Classes in Bertie County School System and at Martin Community College from 1996 - 2000. Received Teacher of The Year in 2000, for the County, first time a Non-Academic Course Instructor had ever won the Honor. All high school students scored in the upper 90"s on their EOC'S and most received full scholarship's to college's.
Martin Community College CNA student's passed their exam's clinical as well written exam's with higher scores than ever before.
I have good communication skills taught to me by my nursing instructor and the ability to relate to adult learners as well as the younger learners.
I have been a Registered Nurse for 23 years. The majority of my time has been in Long Term Care, however, the first 7 years were in a hospital setting where I experienced many different roles from a floor nurse to the role of Hospital Supervisor, which is the job I was doing when I left to become a Director of Nursing in a Long Term Care Facility.The position of Director of Nursing has carried me down many paths all of which I have enjoyed.
I Have also had the opportunity to be an Assistant Director of Nursing, and a Staff Development Coordinator which I really enjoyed because I was able to do some teaching which I really think is my real true calling just associated with the medical field, as I was also a CPR Instructor and am currently in the process of renewing my Instructor's license to once again teach CPR.
