- Personal Statement:
- I have been a Registered Nurse for the past 18 years. I am also an Advanced Practiced Nurse with Board Certification in Women?s Health. My educational background is as follows: Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Masters in Public Health, Masters in Nursing. For the past 9 years I have worked with the Winnebago County Health Department, of which 7 years I was the Clinical Health Services Director for Pediatric and Women?s Health Programs. For the past 2 years I have been the Childcare Nurse Consultant for Boone, Winnebago, Stephenson and Jo Daviess Counties. I train on topics of Health and Safety, Developmental and Professional Development. I am a Registry Trainer and also am a part of the Illinois Training Network. When I train my philosophy is as follows: Children may have various types of developmental delays due to neurological or physiological disorders, it is important to offer education on special needs topics. Because of accreditation and State licensing standards it is the expectation of child care providers to maintain a level of knowledge that is consistent with current licensing and quality standards. Providing a library of information to child care providers on accessing educational tools and reference information is just as important as learning the content of the material. And last but not least, child care providers can take the content that is offered in a training session and apply it directly into the classroom setting.
