After graduating from Truman as a BS, CHES, I went on to get my nursing degree. I worked in oncology and then made my way from there into quality. I actually worked from home for the last several years for a company that contracted out medical chart reviews for Medicare compliance. I recently accepted a job at Scotland County Hospital as the Director of Quality and Risk. I’m excited to get back to my roots a bit with the community health assessment. I love community health and health education and unfortunately it’s not something I get to do very often.
I did want to take the chance to say that I feel I had a wonderful education through the HES department. My job entails huge amounts of data and statistics and even though I’m a nurse and that changes my viewpoint a bit, I still use the critical thinking skills I was taught at Truman every day as I look through and try to decipher the meaning and value behind all these statistics.
