About Me
Since graduating as a Registered Nurse in 1980, I have worked in numerous teaching hospitals and underserved communities across the United States. My experience includes Psychiatry, Neonatal Intensive Care, Obstetrics, Labor, and Delivery, mental health nursing, and public health. My nursing philosophy is to treat the whole person. The most fulfilling part of my career enabled me the opportunity to serve as an adjunct professor and mentor to nursing students.
Burnout is one of the leading cause of nurse resignation
My Core Belief
Nurses are an elite group of frontline workers who provide compassionate care to their patients and families. Unless nurses get the help they need to self-care, they will not be able to sustain the health care demands placed on them. In order to maintain longevity in the nursing profession, I believe that nurses should:
- Invest in their well being
- Evaluate the status of their career
- Make ample decisions based on their future
This is important if they plan to perform at their best for longevity in the nursing profession.
