It is my privilege, as Founder and CEO of Nurses Education Inc. (NEI), to welcome you to NEI’s web site.

For the last 16 years, my experience at NEI is one that has already had a profound impact on my life.  I love the many opportunities where I can be a humble instrument in helping thousands of my colleagues scale the heights of the nursing profession whether it was in licensing preparation, understanding fluids and electrolytes, or learning simple nursing skills like starting an IV or simple venipuncture.  I believe that my job is challenging but also rewarding.  Often these challenges require me to think outside-the-box and to make sacrifices in my personal life – make no mistake about it, I work every day and sometimes including weekends.  It’s all worth it!  The reason I was able to get as much out of my time at NEI as I did was because I chose to view challenges as opportunities.

We have a lot of challenges ahead of us.  This is really a remarkable time in nursing history.  Nurses have to be in the lead in this period in which a strong nursing foundation will be so important in solidifying and bringing the profession to a higher level and to pressing forward an agenda for a better nursing career.

I can't think of a better call than to say that nurses will stand for the “TLC” (tender loving care) of each patient which their significant others have been longing for.  Our profession demands a lot.  It demands a lot and sometimes it demands the ultimate sacrifice.

I want you to know that I am committed to making certain that we have the tools we need to make nursing a better profession.  I believe in training and I believe in education and continuing education.

Providing the highest possible patient care is our charge.  That's our calling.  Let’s press forward and use our most powerful tool: EDUCATION.

Again welcome to Nurses Education Inc.!
