A Nurse Who Relates
Led by Dawn Sitler, MSN, APRN-CNS, ACCNS-AG, CCRN, a critical care advanced practice nurse and mentor with a strong professional identity who understands the realities of bedside nursing and the rigors of advanced education.
I know exactly how it feels to stand in those nursing shoes, feeling the weight of the floor and the pressure to know it all. Since passing my boards in 2008, I have navigated the path from an associate's degree to an advanced practice master's degree, experiencing every high and low in between. My journey wasn't just about degrees; it was about building a fulfilling career while managing the stress of the bedside. My specialty is critical care but I've learned a lot about a variety of nursing topics and healthcare environments. Whether you are a student or a veteran nurse, I am here to guide you. Clinical expertise? I have been in the trenches. Advanced Practice? It is my daily reality. Career growth? I have transitioned from preceptor to charge nurse, to leader and beyond. Your future? Let's build it together through coaching. Reach out any time with your questions.
