About MSNce1

MSNce1 has 34 years experience and specializes in med-surg, mother-baby, teaching, peds.


I have had my RN for 34 years practicing in three different states. My interest in nursing started back in childhood but nursing service experience started at age 16 when I volunteered at The Jewish Community Center working with elderly clientele then through college in nursing homes and hospital. Besides medical-surgical nursing I have practiced in mother-baby, moderate risk antepartum, and GYN nursing, nursing education, and pediatrics. My MSN came from my desire to extend my capabilities, credentials and teach nursing. Currently working in pediatric home care obtaining new skills and about learning business relationship skills. Ongoing certifications and maintenance in nursing afford lifelong learning.
