There have been several of you who have continued to visit my blog, even though I have not provided new content in a very long time. The last several years have been very challenging for me personally. I would ask for your continued patience. I will be returning very soon with content that will pick up where I left off in February 2018 (I cannot believe it has been that long since I last published).
In the meantime, I will share that I have made some changes career-wise to be more aligned with my career goals. In November of 2018, I took a job as an Infection Control Nurse within the Healthcare-Associated Infection Prevention and Antibiotic Resistance Reduction Program at the Kentucky Department for Public Health. That's a mouthful, I know.
It has been a challenging, exciting, and rewarding experience over the last 2 years. I have been pushed outside of my comfort zone and asked to do public speaking and work collaboratively with others from different disciplines. Often, I felt like I was the novice, but the professionals at the facilities with whom I talked to were looking for guidance. And, I worked with some very talented individuals who helped me provide answers to their questions.
This Fall, I started a Masters in Public Health with a concentration in Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness through Saint Louis University. With everything going on this year, the timing felt right to start such a venture.
I know this post is brief, but mostly I wanted to say thank you to those who visit my blog and to ask for your further patience. I will provide additional content very soon. I look forward to sharing more.
Talk to you soon!
