About Nurse Meg

Nurse Meg has 10 years experience as a BSN, RN and specializes in Nurse Leadership.

Hi there!
I'm a public health nurse with 17 years of experience and 10 years in specialized nursing practice (MPH BSN RN). Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work in diverse settings—acute care, primary care, community health, research, and even academia. I've led clinical teams, improved workflows, and focused on achieving better outcomes for patients.

But beyond the experience, I'm passionate about growing, sharing ideas, and learning from others. That's why I'm here—to connect with fellow nurses, exchange stories, and gain fresh perspectives.
