Happy 22 year RN anniversary to me🍾22 years ago, I graduated from the University of Michigan with my BSN 💙💛

I began my nursing career in labor & delivery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. 👶🏻The department had 32 labor/delivery/recovery rooms, and was the size of a huge Chicago city block. 🏃‍♀️ At the time it was the 2nd busiest birthing center in the country. There were 100+ RNs on staff just for L&D. I saw it all: HIV injected mothers (not one passed on the virus to her baby, thanks to 1 special doctor who dedicated her career to this), HELLP syndrome, water births, triplets, fetal demise, severely premature babies, a 14 year old having her 2nd baby, fetal anomalies, a baby named Hunter Camper Fisher, and birth plans that would blow your mind. I cried often. We delivered a classroom every day - 30 babies. 🐣

I then became the supervisor of our 4 L&D ORs. There began my love of surgery.

In 2007, I quit my job and moved to San Diego for better weather.

I started working at @igo_medical, running their OR, helping with gynecological procedures. I scheduled and pre-op’d patients, prepared the OR, administered conscious sedation, recovered the patient, then sterilized all the instrumentation, and ordered supplies. A one nurse show.

I then went on to be a surgical nurse at an orthopaedic surgery center, then Scripps Ximed ambulatory surgery center for 10 years, and Scripps Encinitas main OR for 3 years, helping in every type of surgery.

During my time at Scripps, in 2015, I became interested in the world of aesthetics. I started a side hustle, partnering with doctors whom I knew from the OR, to be my supervising MD. I attained and retained my own patients, injecting at my supervising MD’s office 1-2 times per week, while working part time in surgery. I studied studied studied and practiced practiced practiced, honing in on delivering natural results.

In 2022, with the support of my medical director, I moved into a studio in Encinitas. Six months later I was busy enough to leave the hospital and pursue entrepreneurship full time.

My career has been incredibly rewarding, while affording the perfect work/life balance. 👑

I now have 300 active patients and run the business in Cardiff, CA as a solo injector (alongside my medical director).
