I have been a Registered Nurse in Texas for 47 years, with the last 20 years spent in nursing education. I received a PhD in Nursing Education from Capella University. My nursing background includes ICU, NICU, Home Health, Hospice, Legal Nurse Consulting, and Nursing Education. I am so excited to be assisting you in learning the core information that will lead to your degree! I have a wonderful blended family with 12 grandchildren. Our family lives on a farm outside Waco, Texas with cows, cats, horses, and donkeys.
