2Additional Information
I have been an operating room nurse for 24 years, the last 15 of those in outpatient orthopedics/ sports medicine. I have a background in level 1 and level 2 trauma procedures including spine, orthopedics, general surgery and neuro. I spent 7 years as a travel nurse at various hospitals in the southeast before settling on a staff nurse position in Atlanta at Emory Musculoskeletal Institute. We are a busy 6 OR outpatient facility, working with top physicians in their respective fields. I train perioperative nurses, who come through the program and have spent years utilizing my experience with fellows, residents and athletic trainers. I have had experience with expert witness reviews, and have demonstrated to my attorneys that I am reliable and knowledgeable in my field of practice to carry out the standards of care to which we adhere to.
