My nursing career started with ASN degree leading to position in Neonatal Intensive Care at Home Hospital Lafayette, IN, then Riley North NICU, with cross training to Pediatrics and Riley PICU. In this experience I cared for "Riley kids" that were into their twenties. I obtained my BSN while there from Indiana Wesleyan University and certified as NICU RN. I had positions in two Long Term Care Facilities. Obtained my MSN from IWU, and sat for and obtained my board certification as Family Nurse
