About nlkimmel

nlkimmel is a MSN, PhD, RN and specializes in MSN-FNP-BC.

Started out as a nurses assistant, then went on to get my Associate Degree in Nursing from Henry Ford College GPA 3.7 in 2007.  Went on to complete my MSN-FNP at Walden University in 2016 and graduated with a MSN 3.89 GPA, took my ANCC board exam in 2017.  I have been working as a hospitalist in local hospitals and teaching.  A bit more background for completeness.  I have a BS in science 3.5 GPA,with a major in chemistry, and a PhD in environmental engineering. Prior to nursing I was teaching Mechanical Engineering at Lawrence Technological University as an adjunct professor and and at Oakland University.  I also taught at Henry Ford College, math, physics and engineering.  Being an adjunct is hard, because you have to work at multiple teaching positions to make ends meet.  I have written the book for the N.S.A.T.s Nursing School Admission Test, as well as a book on Phlebotomy, through the N.A.P.T.P. (National Association of Phlebotomy Technician Professionals) as well as the book for the National Telemetry Association study guide.  Currently I am in my second year of Medical School through Oceania University of Medicine.  I went on to get my CHMM, Certified Hazardous Materials Manager Certification through the IHMM.  I am currently teaching at Phlebotomy Career Training and developing review questions for the HESI and the TEAS through the Nurses Learning Center.
