[1derwomanRN]

Hello everyone. I am the person jsnuka referred to in the previous post. I am a nurse and currently I manage a primary care clinic, more specifically a FQHC. I will complete my MBA in health care administration this fall and hope to go on to become the Vice President of Nursing and eventually the CEO of a health care entity. I am a pediatric nurse by trade and have worked at Children's Hospitals in the midwest and on the east coast. Also, I have worked in home care as a pediatric visiting nurse. I will pursue a Doctorate degree in nursing in the fall of 2008 (either a PhD in nursing or a DNP, I haven't decided....we can discuss this if you'd like...). Please feel free to PM me or post a msg here. I look forward to hearing from you all...
