I earned my BSN at William Jewell College and Master's degree as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Care of Children at the University of Oklahoma. My PhD in nursing is from the University of Kansas. My nursing career began a neonatal intensive care nurse including the helecopter transport, code blue, and ECMO teams. I have taught nursing through schools in Los Angeles, Tulsa, Kansas City, and Cape Girardeau. The courses I have taught in include care of children, maternal / newborn, adult care, physical assessment, fundamental skills, leadership, nursing theory and philosophy. I'm a member of Sigma Theta Tau, National Association of  Neonatal Nurses, and American Academy of Neonatal Nurses.
