Hi! I'm Clarinda. I started my nursing career as a CNA while in the LPN program. I have worked since 2001 for 6 years as an LPN while returning to school to complete the RN program. I have been working in critical care since 2006 and am currently CCRN certified. I have precepted new nurses when I was a staff nurse and have had the opportunity to share my experiences as well as assist student nurses in pursuing their nursing education! Contact me today for a 30 min consultation and demonstration and let's get you on the right path to a successful and rewarding nursing career!
