Current inpatient Med/Surg nurse at UW Health TAC. I have been a nurse since 2017 and had the opportunity to be in UW Health's Nurse Residency program out of nursing school. I started as an inpatient nurse on a Med/Surg floor for the first two years. I transitioned to their Burn and Wound speciality clinic Sept 2019 and just recently transitioned back inpatient for more flexibility with my upcoming clinicals this fall for my MSN with a focus in FNP at Concordia.
