I'm a Board Certified Adult Nurse Practitioner practicing in a medical clinic in Prescott Valley, Arizona.
I began my nursing career in the 90's as an LPN while finishing up an Associates Degree at Yavapai College, graduating and passing NCLEX-RN (when it was still on paper, can you imagine?). My long-term goal was to become an NP in order to deliver patient care in areas where the need was great.
Back then, patients in my community had a very hard time finding a primary care physician who was accepting new patients, not to mention patients who did not have health insurance. To help meet the need, as a new grad RN, I volunteered at a free clinic that was started by nurses who recognized the need. It was a very rewarding experience to help patients who would not otherwise receive health care. I learned first-hand how nurses could be change-agents for health care in the community.
My education continued through the years, first with a BSN in 1999, MS in 2008, and now in 2018 I've reached my goal of Nurse Practitioner. Some of my favorite clinical experiences in Nurse Practitioner school were at two of the Community Health Center (CHC) clinics in the Prescott area, which evolved out of the original free clinic! See the power and impact that nurses have on health care?
More recently, I discovered a low-cost clinic run by one of the original nurse practitioners who volunteered in that free clinic back in the 90's. I am pleased to report that I had the opportunity to work for the Prescott Health Clinic, serving the needs of patients without medical insurance or those who prefer the convenience of same day appointments. It was a thrill to give back to the community and help people who need affordable health care delivered by nurse practitioners.
I'm presently working at an internal medicine clinic where the focus is geared toward Medicare patients.
I can hardly believe how quickly the time has passed since those first days as a new grad RN. From acute care to home health to leadership, management, and education, I've had so many amazing opportunities in my career as a nurse. I've come around full circle again back to working directly with patients, which is so fulfilling. My focus is still on teaching, whether patients or students learning healthcare, one of my very favorite things to do!
