    I am full time at Kent Salem, I also work at Cleveland Clinic Mercy in ICU.  I became an LPN in 1999, ADN in 2002, BSN in 2015 and MSN in 2018. I worked as an adjunct clinical faculty member at the Stark campus from 2015-2021, and I was also an adjunct faculty member at Mount Union from 2018-2021 prior to becoming full time at Salem campus. 
    I have worked for Cleveland Clinic Mercy since 1999 in many different roles, starting as an LPN, moving into the RN role on medical surgical orthopedics. I also worked as a Total Joint Coordinator, doing pre-operative education for surgical patients and a hospital educator for 2 years as well.
