I feel like you already know me pretty well but, for those who don't, "nice to meet you".  I live in Alexandria, Virginia, in the neighborhood soon to be occupied by Amazon and Virginia Tech...Yippee!  

I work in Washington, DC, at the George Washington University Hospital as the Division Director for Nursing Operations.  I moved into this position last year and it is still rather new to me.  My background and passion however, is in emergency and transport nursing.  Over the past two years, I was given the opportunity to build the hospital's critical care ground transport team "from scratch".  The benefits that we are seeing for patients has been extremely rewarding and something that I am very proud of.   ]]> 2019-01-07 00:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sjames1202/gcxls4yfmi1j/wish/317711836 sjames1202 https://padlet.com/sjames1202/gcxls4yfmi1j/wish/317712873 My partner, David, and I have been together for seven years. We don't have kids but do have two cats and a dog.  Most of our life seems to center around Rocky, our husky/lab mix.  He's quite a character and you'll see him in most of my photos.  ]]> 2019-01-07 00:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sjames1202/gcxls4yfmi1j/wish/317712873 sjames1202 https://padlet.com/sjames1202/gcxls4yfmi1j/wish/317714238 2019-01-07 00:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sjames1202/gcxls4yfmi1j/wish/317714238 sjames1202 https://padlet.com/sjames1202/gcxls4yfmi1j/wish/317714795 2019-01-07 00:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sjames1202/gcxls4yfmi1j/wish/317714795 sjames1202 https://padlet.com/sjames1202/gcxls4yfmi1j/wish/317714962 My DNP project is focused on emergency department throughput and access to care.  Specifically, I will be using a "direct bedding" concept to have patients bypass triage and go right to an ED bed.  The literature has suggested that this reduces overall length of stay and reduces left without being seen rates.  

I look forward to meeting those of you who I have not already met and send a big "hello" to those of which I am already familiar.  I hope you all have a great quarter!
