About ggfifirn05

ggfifirn05 has 13 years experience and specializes in Neuroscience ICU, CNRN, SCRN.

Married, blended family of 6, all adults now, and 5 grandchildren, including a set of twins (boy & girl). Left the bedside in 2013 to work on the Neurology Clinic as the ALS Clinic Nurse Coordinator for nearly 2 years, but missed the "hands-on" patient care and four days off a week. Attempted to return to the bedside in July 2015 back in the Neuroscience ICU but my body refused to acclimate, so now working in Quality Management services & have been a Patient Safety Specialist there since April 2018. I also just completed my MSN - Leadership in Healthcare degree in June.
