I ve continued to keep my nursing <br />license current, attending related education offerings in the infection control, gerontology and <br />health care for the years since retirement from full time work. While volunteering in Durham, I <br />really want to serve my local community and continue to put my knowledge of aging services <br />and long term care to good use. <br />Conflict of Interest: <br />Board of Health <br />Background, education and experience relevant to this board: <br />RN, BSN, MSN; attendance at 3.5 day infection control in long term care course offered by <br />SPICE every two years; recent course attendance at offering regading CDiff; served as infection <br />control consultant for Carol Woods Retirement Community 12 years while also serving as its <br />Director of Nursing /Health Services. <br />Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />Throughout the years at Carol Woods, I was often involved with Board of Health issues, <br />including outbreak investigation, tuberculosis control, difficulties encountered in Infection Control <br />for the older adult in a long term care /congregate living environment. I purposely kept my <br />nursing license current despite my retirement from full time nurse because I hoped to eventually <br />serve my community in some capacity related to my professional knowledge.
