Specializes in OB, NICU, Nursing Education (academic).

I began as an adjunct clinical instructor in 1995 for an ADN program. I had a BSN at the time. I am now full-time faculty, assistant professor, and hold an MSN degree. I'm still teaching for the same school that first hired me as an adjunct. The college I teach at is a 4 year private college; our nursing program is a 2 year associate degree.
