Curriculum
Your instructor
I'm Maddie, your clinical nurse educator bringing a rich tapestry of healthcare experiences to this role. Since embarking on my nursing journey in 2020, I've navigated diverse specialties including Med-Surg, Post-Op Ortho, Plastics, Home Health, and the fast-paced realm of the Emergency Department. I thrive on the dynamism of critical care, beginning at a Level 2 trauma center before advancing to Austin's premier Level 1 trauma facility. While still devoted to emergency nursing with monthly shifts, my academic pursuit of an MSN-FNP sharpens my focus on Emergency Nurse Practitioner certification. With certifications in trauma and stroke care, my passion lies in mastering and sharing the intricacies of medical resuscitation.
As an educator, my commitment extends beyond imparting knowledge; it's about fostering the confidence and skills PCTs need in the pursuit of excellent patient hygiene and care. By blending my hands-on clinical insights with a genuine enthusiasm for continuous learning, I aim to cultivate an environment where PCTs are empowered to advocate knowledgeably for their patient's well-being, ensuring a foundation of trust and professional fulfillment in their critical roles.
