I have a BSN degree from Thomas Jefferson University '88 and a Masters of Science from Rutgers University '99. I sat for the professional family nurse practitioner's licensing exam in 1999 and passed, but I do not maintain or practice as a FNP anymore. My professional career was cut short due to multiple sclerosis so I view this book as a continuation of the nursing practice I loved. The cases I participated in the OR affected me so much that those events motivated me to write this book and to communicate to all and empower people to take charge of their health by learning the easy way through my OR EYES, the title of my book. I've seen the worst of the worst and at times I could not believe what I was seeing in the OR if I had not witnessed it with my own "OR EYES". The health promotion measures I teach about are regarding some of the most common preventable diseases or conditions affecting populations worldwide, or at the very least disease conditions that could be easily overcome if detected early. For example: Breast cancer, Diabetes, drinking & texting while driving, organ donation issues, smoking and lung cancer, abortion, obesity, AIDS and the importance of eating a healthy diet are issues communicated and discussed. The most important factors I demonstrate are how all of these diseases and or tragic events are almost 100% preventable and or easily managed if people are made aware and knowledgeable of self risk management.
I was born in Philadelphia, Pa., but now reside in Southern New Jersey with my family- my husband Vincent, my mother Theresa Volpe, my daughter Natalile Schaffer and my puppy Molly, a Bichon Frise.weniger sehen
