Summary
Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:I believe it was my destiny. My father always told me I should become a nurse, but I had intended to go into the social work field instead. My plans changed course after I completed an internship at Hershey Medical Center on the Cardiac Transplant Unit. I was fascinated by the medical component of the experience. My preceptor recognized my interest, and recommended a career in medicine or nursing. I finished my degree in social work and immediately enrolled in the nursing program at York College and began the next semester. What I want my patients to know about me:After graduating with my nursing degree, I spent eight years working my way up the ladder in the nursing home setting. I started out as an aide, then a floor RN, then the assistant director of nursing, and finally the director of nursing position. After completing my MSN/nurse practitioner degree in 2003, I stayed in the geriatric field and worked with internal medicine to provide …care to the several hundreds of nursing home and personal care home patients we had in Lancaster County.What I do when I'm not seeing patients:I really enjoy being outdoors. I love to hike, snow ski, swim, and take long walks. I am also a ""foodie"" and love to taste the local as well as international cuisine. I enjoy traveling and have been fortunate enough to visit many US states and other countries. My favorite vacation trip was Alaska!
