What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
When I first started in nursing, I worked in a mother-baby care unit, and women's health has been my passion ever since. I moved into clinic nursing working with OBGYNs and really championing for women's health. I also taught childbirth classes at the hospital system for 9 years. Now I've moved into nursing education, and I'm still bringing that women's health perspective into educating the future of nursing. I teach maternal child courses as well as pediatric courses, and those are my passions. I'm really excited about the bachelor's program we're starting this fall through the Oregon Community College Cooperative. We have 6 different Oregon community colleges that came together to create a shared curriculum and cohort, and we're hoping to increase the number of bachelor's-prepared nurses in rural Oregon and Idaho. Within the next 5 years, I hope to still be at Treasure Valley Community College, really engrossed in that bachelor's program. I'm hoping it just grows and becomes part of the curriculum, where students can continue on as they want to enhance their education.
