I began my career as a paramedic. Although challenging and exciting in the beginning, eventually even the adrenaline rush couldn’t keep me satisfied. It was time to move on, so I went to nursing school. I became an excellent nurse, and learned a variety of skills from my experiences in CCU, MICU, SICU, NICU, and Trauma Emergency Care.

Eventually, I realized that I could impact more patients through teaching our next generation of nurses than through direct patient care. Although I love teaching nursing students, I found that the continuing education arena allowed me to act as a conduit for communicating best practices to the nurses at the bedside. My goal is to help thousands or even millions of nurses to get the information they need to stay up-to-date and improve their practice.

Active involvement in the American Association of Critical Care Nurses and the Society of Critical Care Medicine, along with frequent publishing in Nursing, Image, and Nursing Made Incredibly Easy make these goals possible. As a frequent presenter of nursing continuing education throughout the US and Canada, it is my goal to help your nurses to achieve at their highest level of contribution and to give them the resources necessary to do so.

I would like to help your nurses to develop the skills of teamwork, critical thinking, collaboration, and life-long learning; and to help you take appropriate action when faced with a patient in crisis. As a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Critical Care, I have helped thousands of nurses identify and respond appropriately to crises in their patients; using the unique concepts of the Rapid Response Team.

Please join me on the path to excellence, and may the journey begin!
