SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

 

Administration/ Supervision / Coordination/Consulting

 

                Educational administrative experience includes being Dean of Nursing at West Coast University, Director of Nursing for Fresno City College Department of Nursing and the Chair and full Professor of the Department of Nursing at Sierra Nevada College Lake Tahoe starting a new RN to BSN program. Fresno City College is the largest undergraduate nursing program in California and the second largest in the U.S.A. The educational administration at Fresno City College, the oldest of the California community colleges (over 23,000 students) in a large complicated community college and state system  is a complex position overseeing multimillion dollar budgets, over 80 faculty, 345 students, 2-3 admissions per year, over 2 million in program grants, an over 61% diverse student and faculty populations as well as a large educational contract with the local hospitals. As Dean at West Coast University the objective was to develop and LVN to RN program, write the BRN Self Study and get the program stated by summer 2005. That objective has been met and further accreditation and program development is under way.

 

From a clinical perspective  I was the Director of Midwifery and "The Birth Center at the Beth" at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center (NBIMC),  CEO and Director  of A Shared Beginning: The Westchester Birth Center from and CEO of MOOREINFO Inc both a licensed home health agency  and a medical information service . Newark Beth Israel is an inner city tertiary medical center in Newark New Jersey and a Shared Beginning was a private practice and Birth Center in Yonkers NY. At NBIMC  involved re-establishing a Midwifery multi-centered  practice, establishing a $1,000,000 budget, negotiating managed care contracts for midwifery and birth center services. These leadership positions also included hiring, firing, policy and procedure, medical-legal issues, meeting regulatory requirements, budgets, marketing, public relations and educational needs of the profession and community. I established A Shared Beginning: The Westchester Birth Center, my own business MOOREINFO Inc. a medical information service and licensed home health agency for mothers and babies and being the first CNM to obtain hospital delivery privileges at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. To provide the best in administrative duties I have taken business and management courses, and have an MPH degree in Health Administration from Columbia University School of Public Health. I  do consulting, marketing, advertising, financial planning, third party reimbursement, medical information, publication,  program development, grant writing, continuing education, business plans, teaching and private practice patient care.  MOOREINFO Inc. was granted a license to operate as a Home Health Agency and started the first Infant Home Phototherapy program in the Hudson Valley Region. MOOREINFO Inc. also did the postpartum home visits for the families that delivered at the Birth Center.

               

Through MOOREINFO Inc. I wrote a New York State Department of Health Certificate of Need application for A Shared Beginning: The Westchester Birth Center and followed the whole process of establishment of the birth center that was fully licensed . As part of this I also developed a business plan and obtained the funding for the Gonzalez-Moore Corporation for 1.65 million for purchase of the site, leases and operating capital for the office space, birth center and equipment, supplies and staffing necessary to be operational. The other work of the MOOREINFO Inc. consulting business consisted of  expert witness and  medical-legal case reviews for the legal profession and a consultant with the California Board of Registerd Nursing as an expert witness. In this capacity I have reviewed medical records, policies, protocols and other health care and legal documents. I have assessed issues of liability and causation, done literature searches related to standards of care and spoken with attorneys regarding cases and strategies. As part of my role as an expert witness I have written opinions, provided expert testimony, provided deposition and testifying in court. In addition I have also taught many different health professionals different aspects of the legal liability pertaining to health care practice. MOOREINFO.COM is the web site for the medical information part of the business and in this capacity I have done consulting, writing, research, publication, and education for professionals and consumers. As part of the publication work, I was the publisher for Midwives Forum for NYS ACNM Downstate chapter newsletter and published a booklet on Choices in Childbirth, along with numerous patient educational materials over my professional career.

 

As a clinical specialist and administrator I have had to work with staff while bringing about change, which also included supervision and coordination of the clinical and educational changes for the nurses, midwives and clients/patients. The specialist position also included the coordination of the clinic, labor and delivery or class activities, research projects and overall program changes.  In education I have taught in both a team and individual class concept. This involved designing, teaching, coordinating, and evaluating the courses myself. With research I have had to write grants, manage the project, supervise research assistants and other personnel, manage the budget and coordinate various other professionals and organizations to bring the research results to completion. I have also supervised masters and doctoral student work. In 1992 the Westchester Birth Center was approved as a clinical teaching site for the Community Nurse-Midwifery program through Kentucky frontier Nursing and Case Western Reserve University. I have worked with community groups like, ASPO/Westchester and From Here to Maternity Inc., to develop and/or coordinate community education, patient care, and publicity programs.

 

Education

 

                As an educator in colleges and universities I have had 27 semesters of teaching experience at the graduate and undergraduate level as both a full time, part time, preceptor and guest speaker positions in numerous schools and conferences across the United States and world.  I was awarded the rank of Full Professor. As the Director of Nursing for the largest (345) undergraduate nursing educational program in California I oversaw the budgets, daily operation, wrote and was awarded over $2,000,000 in grants and donations.   I developed an RN to BSN nursing program in a private college along with multiple affiliative arrangements with one of the local hospitals. As a full time tenure track faculty at the Professor/Associate Professor level, I have worked in nursing, midwifery and public health teaching theoretical and clinical maternal child health, midwifery, women's health, research, biostatistics,  physical assessment, program evaluation, group dynamics and various other nursing, midwifery and public health subjects. As a guest speaker I have spoken on Midwifery, human sexuality, teen-age sexuality, contraception and pregnancy, the role of the nurse and the nurse-midwife in the health care system, and women's health to name a few topics. I have had the opportunity to sit or chair search, admissions, research, testing, curriculum, faculty, nominations and other university or professional organization committees. I received a special Teaching Award from the UCLA graduate students .  I was one of six national finalist for the Childbirth Educator of the Year Award sponsored by Childbirth Educator magazine. As the Chair of a new Department of Nursing I have the opportunity to develop a new way of assisting RN's to obtain their BSN degree while still working full time and caring for their families.  I was given an award for Exceptional Contribution to Sierra Nevada College as the Chair of the Department of Nursing

 

Research

 

                I have continued it actively use my research skills throughout my various positions. I have a strong commitment to the research process and believe in publishing the findings and when possible implementing programs as a result of research. As part of this I have written many grants and served as a grant reviewer in different organizations including DHHS. I have worked in public health, nursing, midwifery, and medicine and on interdisciplinary teams. My research design experience spans  from qualitative to quantitative,  descriptive, survey, correlational, experimental, and quasi-experimental, outcomes, triangulation and others. I have used a variety of statistical programs but my latest use has been with windows based SPSS program I have also worked with small and large databases.  One interdisciplinary endeavor was with Susan Scrimshaw Ph.D.  on her Latina Birth Project through the UCLA School of Public Health.  Another was the Adolescent Sexuality and Contraceptive project, which grew out of mutual interests with my graduate students at UCLA and grew into national and international interdisciplinary presentations and publications. I managed a large market research survey in connection with the birth center project. I have also been involved with the pilot study work for a study and grant proposal on Nutrition in Labor with Pixie Elsberry CNM-Director of Midwifery at North Central Bronx Hospital. Recently I have worked with the Center for Perinatal Research on a DOULA project for inner city teens. In my position with MOOREINFO Inc. I have also assisted others with developing and carrying out and publishing their own research the most recent example is with Dr. Monica Furlong an anesthesiologist working on Awareness under General Anesthesia. I am presently teaching nursing research to the graduate students at Seton Hall University. My present research interests are related to hydrotherapy in labor and birth and I presented part of that study at the International Confederation of Midwives convention in Manila . Presently I am working on research with patient and staff perceptions of pain management and nurse’s interest in obtaining their BSN degree.

 

                I have a history of getting others interested in research or clinical questions, working with them on the project and following through to publication with everyone benefiting from the experience. Students inform me that I am excellent at teaching research and make it interesting and seemingly doable under difficult circumstances. I have numerous local, national and international presentations and am quite comfortable presenting to many different audiences. At this point I have authored more than 40 scientific publications and have written and been funded for several grants. I have been a grant reviewer for the Department of Health and Human Services. I was named an American Journal of Nursing Scholar and awarded a research grant by the American Nurses Foundation and the Department of Health and Human Services.  I was named in Who's Who in American Nursing, Who is Who in Professional and Executive Women, 2,000 Notable Women, and The World Who's Who of Women. 

 

 

Community/Professional

 

                 I was on the Board of Directors for the Los Angeles Birth Center and worked at NACHIS, one of the first freestanding birth centers in the USA. I have done volunteer work for the March of Dimes and was on the Westchester Professional Board and the Health Advisory Committee for the MOD. For ASPO/Lamaze I have been the Westchester Chairperson for the Insurance reimbursement and Publicity committees.  In California I am the co-chair of the Academic Partnership committee of the Nursing Leadership Council, Vice president of the Northern Directors ADN group, Regional Representative for the Central Valley on the Prerequisite Validation study. In Nevada I was on the program Committee for the Nevada Nurses of Leadership.  I was Assistant Editor for the Journal of Nurse-Midwifery and  I was elected to the editorial board of the Journal of Perinatology . Presently I am a reviewer for Research in Nursing and Health. I was a member of the ACNM Research and Statistics Committee, Nominations Committee and the ACNM Continuing Education committees. I published the Midwives Forum for the ACNM Chapter 2 newsletter and I was on the Peer Review Committee of the local ACNM Chapter. I have volunteered as a consultant and speaker in MCH, research, midwifery, sexuality, and nurse entrepreneurship,  for local, national and international groups. I have also worked with the local school groups in helping to teach human sexuality to the young people and parents of my community. I was on the Boy Scouts of America Troop 55-parent committee as well as the Yonkers Community Council and Yonkers Mayors' task Force to Reduce the Infant Mortality Rate and Teen Pregnancy Rate in Yonkers.  I was appointed by the Yonkers Mayor to be on the AIDS Advisory council.  Presently a member of the Nursing Leadership Council and Co-Chair of the Academic Partnership Committee in Fresno CA. Vice President of the ADN Directors group and nominated for the Nurse of the Year Award .  I was appointed at the Chair of the Academic Partnership committee of the Nursing Leadership Council in Fresno California.

                                                               

Clinical

               

As a clinician I have worked as a CNM (Certified Nurse Midwife) for the past years in a variety of settings including level 3 hospitals and out of hospital birth center providing the full range of midwifery care. The experiences included being on call at the hospital and birth center site as well as being on beeper. The care included prenatal, intrapartum, postpartum, family planning and well women gynecology. In the hospital settings the care also included the use of IV's, fetal monitors, pitocin stimulation, AROM, analgesia, local anesthesia, episiotomy repair, emergency procedures, VBAC, labor bed and delivery room births, childbirth education, and Co-managing high risk patients, etc. In the birth center we monitored the women every 15-30 minutes during the first stage of labor, used virtually no medication, and provided constant supervision and labor support. Hydrotherapy in labor and birth including waterbirth was also part of the training and practice in both birth centers. VBAC births in the birth center and hospital were also provided, providing they were otherwise low risk. We transferred women to the back-up hospital that desired transfer or who developed complications. The birth center families were low risk and followed through the pregnancy and birth experience by the midwifery professionals with consultation by the physicians as needed. In the hospital setting the women were often high risk and unknown to me at the time of their visits or delivery. The midwifery services also included all types of family planning (Norplant, IUD's, Cervical cap, Diaphragm, etc.) well women gynecology including yearly physicals, pap smears, vaginal infections etc.. I hold a  CNM license in NJ and NY with prescriptive privileges.

 

                My nursing and childbirth educators clinical experience includes working as a clinical nurse specialist in labor and delivery, outpatient and the overall obstetrical area during which time I did staff development, designed patient education programs, patient and staff literature, gave direct patient care, developed care plans, did home visits, research, quality assurance, program evaluation and worked with numerous other members of the health care team. In addition I also set up the program and did the maternal helicopter transports and published clinical papers. As a childbirth educator I have designed, and taught prenatal, postnatal, breast-feeding, family planning and breathing/relaxation classes. I have taken courses, worked with and/or read extensively about the Read, Erna Wright, Bradely and Lamaze method. I received certification through ASPO/Lamaze. I also set up a NYS DOH Licensed Home Health Care Agency for the home care of mothers and babies.

 

 I was nominated for the New York State Nurse of Distinction Award. The National League presented their award for Outstanding Community Nursing. I was selected as on of 5 finalist in the Nursing Spectrum “NURSE OF THE YEAR” award.  I was nominated for the Administrator of the Year to the Central Valley Coalition of  Nursing Organizations.
