vCard I began my career as a paramedic. After years of working in the field, I wanted to do more. As a paramedic, I got to see the healthcare system from the outside, and I really appreciated what the nurses did. They were the ones at the bedside implementing the interventions and that excited me, so I went to nursing school.

I’ve worked in MICU, SICU, CCU, and neurological and trauma units. I taught medical-surgical and critical care nursing, and am a frequent contributor to Nursing, RN, and Nursing Made Incredibly Easy.

Throughout my career, I continued my education while working full-time and juggling family responsibilities. Often times I thought “there’s got to be a better way” to learn without dragging several heavy textbooks around with me, or trying to read a page or two during my break. I found audio and video products to be invaluable. I could listen in the car, and even when I was too tired to read I could watch a video.

Later in my professional development, I found that relevancy became much more important. “Tell me how I can use this at the patient’s bedside” became my credo. But, the harder I looked, the harder it was to find practical and useful continuing education.

I made a decision to dedicate my teaching to “filling the void” between theory and practice. The final decision about whether I teach a concept depends on whether it would be useful and practical to the bedside nurse.

Meet those who make it happen:

Nicole, Vice President: My background has always been in supporting and training others. I originally took the job with Ed4Nurses for additional income while working a full time job. After working with David and learning the quality of products and service he provides, I decided this was the kind of company for which I would like to work; a company that educates, supports and inspires people. I enjoy doing what I do and working with the people I work with. In this day and age, that is very hard to come by.

Donna, Client Relations Specialist: I began my adventure with Ed4Nurses, Inc. in March of 2005. What started out as a simple position grew into compilation of many duties. I have performed customer service, production, and order fulfillment as well as marketing and the occasional comic relief. After a leave of absence, I am elated to be back. David is a visionary who understands the needs and challenges our nurses are facing today. He hand picked this team of phenomenal people who, together with David, are conceptualizing greater purposes and products for this company. David not only acknowledges our ideas but executes them as well. I can't explain the feeling I get when I see one of our ideas come into play. One can't help thinking “Wow! I thought of that and he is making it happen!” Well, at Ed4Nurses, Inc. it happens often. I, along with my co-workers, feel valued and appreciated. Moreover, that benefit is passed to you, the customer. I am honored to be part of this team and it is my privilege to serve you!

Debbie, Education Services Coordinator (Chicago office): I work for Ed4Nurses because the people are great and I love being part of a company that cares so much about its customers and employees. I believe that I contribute humor and good customer service to the company. I really enjoy helping people, which is a good fit with the objectives of Ed4Nurses.
