COUNSELOR
"I had enjoyed my various positions until I found my true niche in neonatal ICU in the early 1980's. I lived and breathed this nursing specialty which prompted me to return for my master's degree. I have learned throughout my nursing career that no matter what I do in nursing I love doing it. I believe this stems from a deep love of the profession."
- Assistant Professor of Nursing at NKU in the baccalaureate nursing program since 2006.
- Worked in various bedside nursing positions from Cardiac ICU to Postpartum as I traveled with my military husband.
- Received my undergraduate degree from Jamestown College in North Dakota in 1973.
- Received a Masters in Perinatal Nursing-Neonatal Nurse Practitioner from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992.
- Immediately after my Master's degree I worked in a Level III transport NICU in Camden, NJ. I practiced with six neonatologist and four nurse practitioners until 1995.
- From 1995 to 1997 I worded in my home state of North Dakota on a Neonatal ICU and Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum unit.
- In 1997 I took a position in the baccalaureate program as an Assistant Professor and fell in love with this area as well.
- My lack of knowledge regarding teaching sent me to cohort for a PhD in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. I will be receiving my PhD in December 2007 from the University of North Dakota.
