Family nurse practitioner, Scheurer Health, Bad Axe location
How did SC4 help prepare you?
SC4 helped prepare me for my amazing career as it was the foundation of my nursing profession. Through great leaders and excellent education, I was able to continue to pursue advanced degrees to be able to benefit my community. The support I received from my nursing instructors was unprecedented.
What do you like most about what you do professionally?
I love helping a varied diversity of patients at different times in their health journeys, from chronic conditions to acute visits, first days of life to the last. Providing the best patient-focused, compassionate care during life’s most vulnerable moments.
Did you transfer on and earn other degrees? If so, what degrees and from where?
I was able to, after obtaining my ADN, transfer and complete my BSN at the University of Michigan. From there, I completed my MSN at Spring Arbor University. I am currently working on my DNP at Kent State University. This path has allowed me to be able to have a family while also continuing to immerse myself in the learning necessary to provide competent patient care. I am looking forward to implementing my DNP project in my practice as well as seeing it impact and benefit other aspects of patient care as well.
