Your Business Name (if applicable): Maria M. Church, RN, BSN, Legal Nurse Consultant Please describe your business and specialty: Reviewing medical records for pre-suit investigation and trial investigation. Preparing records for historical reference. I have worked in Critical Care Nurses, Telemetry and Post Anesthesia Recovery (PACU) (recovery room) for the past 18 years. I started in nursing as a volunteer at 16 (30 years ago) in a Pediatrics unit, worked in an hepatitis unit and Medical-Surgical unit as a nursing assistant, labor and delivery with surgical scrub experience during that period as an LPN, and an RN in a post-op open heart, medical/surgical unit then critical care since graduation in 1978. I finished my bachelor's degree in 1992. Street Address: Mailing address: P.O. Box 4116 City: Boynton Beach State/Province, (and country if not USA): Florida 33424-4116 E-mail Address: ameddofficer@excite.com Homepage Address: Type of business categories would you would like to be listed (Please state as many as are applicable from both a clinical and entrepreneurial standpoint, there is no maximum): Medical/surgical review, neurological review, cardiac review, Contact person(s): Phone number: 1-561-732-3686 In what date (month/year) did you start your business?09/00 What is your experience and background in Nursing? (Medical/Surgical, ER, Psych, OR, etc.): please see above How did you hear about the Nurse Entrepreneur Homesite?: Stumbled across the page while trying to get my qualifications on as many sites as possible. How many years have you/did you practice as a nurse: licensed professional 26 years Professional organizations you belong to (are they on the web?): (Specialty organization, ANA, NLN, Union, etc) AACN, yes; ANA, yes What made you decide to start your own business? Physical injuries suffered on the job has severely limited my ability to continue to provide care at the bedside, which is my primary love. How many times have you changed employers in your career? 6-7 times. Many times I felt that the nurse patient ratio in acuity was getting to be unsafe. What specific qualities and traits do you feel make nurses especially qualified to operate a business? Many nurses are detail oriented near obsessive/compulsive. Many nurses want what is best for the consuming public of health care and have found that the restrictions of the budget decreases and insurance constraints frustrating and confining at best. Do you currently practice as a nurse? If yes in what type of setting? yes, long term and critical care. If you are a practicing nurse, do you feel short staffing is affecting your ability to provide safe patient care? Most definitely. Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare (Please note, a response to this question is mandatory for a free listing): The lack of staffing. The unapparent and sometimes well concealed lack of training of the professional staff. The mandate from insurance companies and administrative staff to use unlicensed assistive personnel, with grossly lacking training. These people are poorly paid and many times take NO pride in a job well done and quality care. Many of UAL personnel can barely speak English and at times refuse to speak English, and sometimes do not know or appreciate the necessity of quality care and the need to report all unusual findings to qualified nurses or professional personnel. Other areas of interest and expertise: I like to do counted cross stitch, participate in church activities, and am an active reservist in the US Army nurse corps. ****************************************************** For Health Information you can use, Follow, Connect, Like us on (Most Invites Accepted): http://www.nursefriendly.com/social/: Twitter! http://www.nursefriendly.com/twitter Blogger: http://4nursing.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.nursefriendly.com/facebook Linked In: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nursefriendly Nursing Entrepreneurs, Nurses In Business, http://nursingentrepreneurs.ning.com/ Posterous.com, http://nursefriendly.posterous.com StumbleUpon, http://www.nursefriendly.com/stumbleupon
