As the lead nurse in the Emergency Room at Hendrick Medical Center, Ramona Wyatt knows what it is like to work as a nurse on the frontlines of COVID-19.

“It has certainly been an eye-opening experience to work on the frontlines during a pandemic.  I am so thankful for the training I received at Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing that helped set a strong foundation for the skills I needed to provide evidence-based medicine both during this COVD-19 crisis and across my patients’ lifespan.  I learned how to research and stay up to date with the latest medicine, which is always evolving.  I especially appreciated the traditional, hands-on approach that is so hard to find in a program, along with the amazing instructors that helped set me up for success in my career as a Nurse Practitioner”.
