My name is Miranda. After going through a difficult time, I was lucky enough to have been given a second chance at love and have been happily remarried for several years now. I am incredibly proud to be a mom of three beautiful girls, as well as a bonus mom to one amazing boy. As a registered nurse with over 18 years of experience, I have spent most of my career working in labor and delivery, postpartum, and newborn nurseries. From the moment I stepped into OB, I knew that I had found a true calling.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching nursing students and sharing my passion for the field with the next generation of healthcare professionals. I always found that visuals were incredibly helpful when it came to learning, which is why I would save “textbook” strips in my locker to show my students what a good fetal heart monitor strip looked like. The joy of educating and precepting others has been one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

While I loved my work as a staff nurse, I ultimately made the difficult decision to leave after more than 15 years because I didn’t believe we were doing everything we could to support our laboring moms. I wanted to be a voice for these women and help them navigate the often-overwhelming process of childbirth. Though the decision was tough, it was the right one – and I have been inspired by the change I have been able to bring about.

Today, I am proud to work as an educator for pediatric home care nurses and aids. I am also a delivery nurse at a progressive and holistic birthing center in the region, where I assist in progressive and innovative training and review essential skills. One of my greatest passions is living a healthy and chemical-free lifestyle, which is why I love working with and promoting essential oils and natural cleaners. I am excited to help each and every one of you achieve your nursing goals – let’s work together and PASS the NCLEX!
