I am an AHA Certified Instructor and specialize in providing AHA Certification classes in ACLS, BLS, and PALS. Visit my website to see more about me, my classes, my books, study guides, essays, and articles. You can watch all of my free videos.

I have been a clinical nursing educator for over 40 years. During those years, I have helped many thousands of nurses improve their own job performance and increase their own job satisfaction. I consider myself to be a nurse's nurse because I am not hidden away in a classroom but out on the floor every day - interacting with hospital management, the nurses, the patients, and the physicians.

For many years I was the Director of Nursing Education and Informatics at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. I was in the LICH Nursing Education Department for 25 years. I developed the desire to teach nurses over 40 years ago when I was an ICU nurse at Staten Island University Hospital. It was at SIUH that I realized that I could learn how to be a better nurse by teaching the other nurses. I haven't stopped teaching since then.

I am also the Director of Medical Education at Dickson Keanaghan, LLC, a company that my husband Joe and I started, where we train the medical staff of over 700 hospitals, medical offices, and surgi-centers on Long Island and New York City.
