As a former military wife with frequent moves I've learned to adapt, adjust and make the best of whatever situations I encounter; a strong advocate for what is right. My experiences as Charge RN, Manager, Preceptor/Mentor, Safety Coach, Clinical Instructor/Educator, Nurse Supervisor and Agency RN positions me to deliver the "patient-centered"​ care to improve quality, safety, outcomes & decrease costs. I am proficient in 10 computerized nursing documentation systems. My doctoral project: Health Literacy as an Evidence-Based Strategy to Decrease Hospital 30-Days Readmission. Work as a Consultant to share my expertise. I can look at processes find efficient ways of improving care delivery, workflow, reduce nursing frustrations, improve nurse & patient satisfaction, decrease costs. My British, Canadian & American healthcare experience positions me for such a role. I have experienced the massive overhaul of Western Canadian healthcare system in 1993, closure of Vancouver's 600 beds Shaughnessy hospital by the British Columbia provincial govt in an effort to save millions of healthcare $$, streamline services, cut overhead costs, deliver cost effective healthcare to its citizens, discouraging wasteful abuse of resources. I love to teach, coach, mentor & love to "give back,"​ volunteer for medical/nursing missions, charitable projects ~ under-served women & children. Change the world one person at a time!
