Overview
I’m a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner who works primarily out of Community Choice’s Blue Springs location. I’ve worked for 25 years as a PNP, with 20 years being here with this great group. I can’t imagine working anywhere else.
Before I focused on a nursing career, I always knew it would be some sort of service through healthcare. My first experience with caring for a child was when I lived in Hawaii and was asked to babysit a one-year-old girl. I had never worked with or even been around little children, much less one with special needs. Her club foot was in a cast, and she had a cleft lip and palate, which required a special nipple to feed her.
Soon, I was hooked and knew healthcare was for me. But with my clinical experiences throughout my undergraduate degree and working, I never thought it would be in pediatrics — more so, adult nursing, but that was until I worked all three shifts in one week on the Orthopedic floor and the only opening was on Pediatrics. So, I took it — best move ever.
I received my undergraduate nursing degree (BSN) at CMSU in 1982. I then went on to graduate school, where I received my master’s degree as a clinical nurse specialist in the care of children (MSN) at UMKC in 1990. My post-graduate nursing degree was through a program at UMKC for pediatric nurse practitioners in 1995.
