Availability:
I'm available
I value the concept and art of “being present” by creating a calm and healing environment for both my patients and co-workers. My nursing/informatics practicum taught me how to access and incorporate public data to improve healthcare outcomes by thinking creatively to reduce medication administration errors. An ongoing goal is to implement evidence-based practice that will improve data availability and assimilation into healthcare facilities. Teaching has pushed me to integrate nursing theory from my Master’s degree to develop an evidence-based practice curriculum. My current goal is to become a doctor of nursing practice to foster a safe learning environment in health clinics as well as online and physical classrooms.

The Baltimore Magazine and the Maryland Nurses Association
Nomination by: Michele McKee MS, RN, ONC, NE-BC The Process: "To arrive at the results of our survey, we solicited nominations from peers, supervisors, and patients of registered nurses, who represent the finest in their field and we received an overwhelming response. There were 17 nursing specialties for which we accepted nominations in a process that took nine months, and then the hard part began—picking the finalists. For that, we relied on the Maryland Nurses Association and major local hospitals to help us recruit an impressive panel of R.N. advisors, who divvied up the specialties and poured over the nominations to arrive at our winners."

Practicum Project Researching a Lighted Lanyard to Decrease Medication Administration Errors
Research
, 2016
Collaborated with
Throughout nurse training and as a practicing nurse, I have been reading about problems with medications and the risks to patients during the administration process. A few interventions are present on my hospital unit, but the presence of errors seem to perpetuate and over the years it has become clear that there will never be a single, technological magic-bullet that will eliminate all errors. Certainly efforts to reduce them must continue. This practicum project has the lofty goal of reducing medication administration errors (MAE’s) with a very inexpensive lighted lanyard to prevent nurses from being interrupted during critical times.
