Stephanie Panza

I am a License Practical Nurse who is wanting to do more one on one patient care with a focus on team nursing and excellent patient care. I am looking for a more work/life balance so I can enjoy attending  Bible study, church, and other activities. I am looking to going back to school to get my RN so career advancement is a plus. I love helping people and am committed to providing the best care possible for each patient and treating them like my own family member. 

I have LPN Experience on top of EMT Experience as well. I have worked in a hospital as ER Tech prior to going into the nursing field. I have EMS experience where I have treated multiple patients from various walks of life to provide the best medical care to them. I also have experience putting together a BLS/ACLS program at Midwestern University, teaching various medical students basic and advanced life support.
