Clinical Nurse IV
Duke University Hospital
I am delighted to have the opportunity to participate and serve in this wonderful profession called nursing. I obtained my BSN from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. As a member of the Duke University Hospital Cardiothoracic Operating Team I serve as a charge nurse, preceptor and care nurse on my unit. I have advanced up the nursing clinical ladder at my healthcare institution to the highest level of CNIV. As an advisor for the DUHS Nursing Clinical Ladder and Nursing Certification Council I assist other nurses to advance their nursing career as well. The responsibility of these positions requires me to continue to be abreast of the latest nursing, medical, social, professional and healthcare issues facing today's society. As an active member of my local AORN Chapter Tar Heels East Chapter 3404, I have the opportunity to develop my leadership skills. My leadership roles include the Chapter President, Education Chair and Spring Workshop Chair.
