About Me

My name is Shannon and I have been a registered nurse for 14 years now. Most of my experience has been as a neonatal intensive care nurse. I have worked in mother baby, pediatric ICU, and general pediatrics. I have two kids, named Elizabeth and Jacob, ages 12 and 10. I have a cat named Charlie and a dog named Max. My husband and I just bought our first home and got married this year. My passion for education began when I first started nursing school and realized the nursing profession is experiencing a shortage of educators.
