My skills are commensurate with those of a B.

It was adopted by my peers working in the same program for other regions of the state until the elimination of that program in 2009.<br/><br/>I trained in emergency neonatal transport in order to transport neonates from small hospitals to larger hospitals with the capability of treating the neonates. I performed this service for approximately 8 years as needed. During this time, I also trained in difficult infant delivery and assisted with the delivery of sick newborns as needed.<br/><br/>I served on the Johnson County Pre-School Advisory Committee for approximately 4 years.<br/><br/>I served on the BlueCare/TennCare Patient Advisory board for approximately 2 years.<br/><br/>I continue to be Basic Life Support certified and recertify every 2 years as required by most hospital or other medical office like settings.<br/><br/>I was Pediatric Advanced Life Support certified during the years I worked in the pediatric intensive care unit setting.
