About Vquest5

Vquest5 is a BSN, MSN, RN and specializes in Nursing Education.

    Nursing is my second career area, science was my first. Disability awareness is my second passion, disaster epidemiology was my first. My joy is assisting others to become well-prepared nurses, whether as LPNs, RNs and beyond, regardless of  entry to nursing as a first choice, a career-path, or as a career-change.
    Multiple physical limitations now affect how and where I work, but not why. My practice as a RN has changed from the care and support of individuals who have emergent needs to the care and support of individuals who have the heart for healthcare careers but who face potential obstacles of any nature, any duration, as they achieve a nursing degree.
