RN since 1972; NNP since 1978. I was the first NNP in the midwest. Have been employed at Level 2 and tertiary level medical centers including Rush Medical Center and University of Illinois Medical Center. I have lectured extensively on OB and neonatal risk/liability issues. I am past president of local AALNC group in Chicago. I presented 2 topics at the 1996 AALNC National Conference (Standards of Care in Neonatal Resuscitation and Liabiolity Issues for the OB & Neonatal Clinician). Most importantly I am clinically active and also act as consultant and expert witness. I have given over 70 depositions and have reviewed over 400 cases since 1983.
