TreeJ has 26 years experience as a ADN, RN and specializes in Ambulatory Care.
July 2020 marked my 21st year. In my first years I did Inpatient Nursing for Med/Surg/Pediatrics. Inpatient care took me to 4 separate areas of Nursing, including Contract Nursing beginning in 2004/2005.
I transitioned to Ambulatory care after 2005. Mainly, because at the time the Nurse need was there. Inpatient Nursing was all I knew to that point, but now having been mainly in Ambulatory care since that is what I know now.
I have also worked short terms in Home Health and over the last several years helped In the public schools.
My greatest area of learning was in a rural location, where I had a great manager, along with great teaching Providers. Here, as Nurses we covered regular Clinical Nursing to Triage/Urgent/Emergent care.
My most rewarding area has been in Pediatric care. Though, I never worked only Peds sites it holds a dear place in my Nurse heart.
Current, my goal is to help where needed. So, Contract Nurse mainly. I still love this profession. Not always easy, but I knew early human service was my calling.
