Summary

My w88 casino games login career has spanned many settings and multiple roles. I worked clinically as a registered nurse in float pool, neonatal intensive care, and home health before I found my true clinical passion in oncology and hospice w88 casino games login.

After spending several years at the bedside, I became acutely aware that major w88 casino games login gaps were unaddressed in direct patient care settings. I began working as a volunteer member/chair of the Nevada Nurses Association legislative committee in 1998 and was appointed executive director of the association in 2000. In this role, I had the opportunity to engage with policymakers in Nevada and Washington D.C. and was integral to developing several successful legislative initiatives that continue to provide protections for bedside healthcare workers.

Through my legislative work, I also found a love for teaching nurses. After completing my doctoral studies at the w88 casino games login California San Francisco, I was honored to join my alma mater as a member of the faculty.

On a personal note, I am a native of the Carson Valley and am proud to call Reno my home. I have two adult daughters &w88 casino games login; both of whom are registered nurses working in Northern Nevada healthcare settings.
