About KristinaCalin

KristinaCalin has 32 years experience as a ASN and specializes in L&D, LDRP, NICU.

I spent 25 years in Maternal Child Health nursing. Then went to grad school and became an archaeologist/museum specialist. I still use knowledge from nursing in my new career....ie: ancient birth practices, examining bones, women’s health, etc. I keep up to date on current best practices in MCH nursing & keep my license active.
