The World's Most Productive Nurse Practitioner?
I'm a Nurse Practitioner as interested in the well being of my fellow providers as that of my patients. While working in extremely fast-paced and often understaffed reproductive health and family medicine clinics, I learned what to do (and more importantly, what not to do) to get out of the clinic every day by 5PM with all of my charts closed - while always running on time. I'm not called The World's Most Productive* Nurse Practitioner for nothing.
I realized that there is a gap between what we are taught in school and what is expected of us in practice. Eventually, most of us learn how to keep our heads above water - but usually through a lot of trial and error, stress, late nights, and heartache. There's got to be a better way, and my goal is to provide materials that can help bridge that gap.
I earned my Master's degree in Nursing at Simmons College, and immediately followed that with a Master's degree in Public Health at Dartmouth College. I live and work in New Hampshire, in a town that holds the world record for most lit jack-o-lanterns (really). When I am not working, I am spending time with my husband, Timothy, and Labrador, Kelly - and no matter what I am doing, I will be there on time.
