Advancing Skills and Expanding Practice
In 2009, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Central Florida Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner program. She was humbled by being chosen and elected to Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Honor Society Member and served as a proud member of that organization to this day. She returned to the emergency department with her new skills to elevate patients’ lives. The desire to optimize her skill sets led her to serve for fourteen years as an advanced practice nurse in the Emergency Department at Holmes Regional Medical Center. As an advanced practice nurse at Holmes Regional Medical Center, she expanded her practice by performing advanced procedures. She was one of the preceptors responsible for training incoming providers in the department. While she enjoyed the emergency department setting, she did not feel as fulfilled there as she did before due to her experience with catheterization.
