NerdeNurse has 33 years experience as a ADN and specializes in Open Heart ICU, MICU, SICU, PACU and Pre-Op.
Becoming a nurse was my third career choice. I worked in construction and manufacturing before becoming a nurse. I married a nurse and learned what a great career it could be, so I became a nurse. I worked in critical care for most of my 25+ year career. I never stopped being a nerd/dreamer/inventor. I combined my talents and started my own company. I invent, manufacture and sell specialty medical products. I was also granted a patent for a child safety restraint. I was a member of the Edison Inventors Association until it closed down. I have a engineers brain where I like to analyze combined with a nurses brain because I am a problem solver with common sense. I am closing in on retirement and am hoping that through my Nerd eNurse profile to share tidbits of things I have learned along the way.
