About Susan

Hello, and thank you for reading my introduction. I am a person that is always aware of my surroundings and works to make wherever I am a safe and happy space. After a successful nursing career, I began teaching and find that I really enjoy both education and caring for those who need assistance to continue safely and happily in their environment. My greatest achievement would be raising my children to be productive, honest and contributing members of society.

I was sent to local hospitals, predominantly Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. When there was a need for a nurse, usually on the Medical and Surgical unit, I would fill in for the hospital. I also worked, in orthopedics, and pediatrics.

Interim Healthcare
I was on the treatment and diabetes team. Daily, in the early mornings, I would travel a designated route and record the blood sugar levels of clients as well as assist them with determining the amount of insulin they needed. If necessary, I would administer the insulin. There were a few clients that I would assist with morning meal preparation. Other assignments with Interim included shifts with adults and children that required nursing care during the day or evening hours including personal care, ambulation, recreation, light housework and meal preparation, tube feedings, and medication administration. I would also accompany clients to doctor appointments and make sure that any medication changes were recorded, as well as pick up or arrange delivery of the medication. I worked for Interim in both Charlotte, N.C., and Pittsburgh, PA.
