I feel blessed to have a career in nursing. It wasn’t what my younger self thought I would be doing. I started my career as an LPN. After achieving my BSN and MSN (legal nursing and forensics), I was driven to keep learning and achieved my DNP (leadership). I love bedside nursing and caring for patients. I have worked in nursing leadership and as a bedside educator. I love critical care nursing and have worked with some of the brightest and most caring individuals through my journey. As fulfilling as these roles were, I have found my passion to lie somewhere in the middle. As a professor of nursing at South University, I am hoping to instill values and knowledge into the next generation of nurses. Nursing is an adventure no matter what role you play. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey.
