Years later, she would return to school at the U. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and earn her MSN as a Clinical Nurse Specialist and then return a year later to earn her FNP.  She worked as a NP in the ED until her husband’s job took them to Fort Collins, CO.  In 2005, her husband accepted a new position in the Phoenix area where landed a position as the 1st Trauma NP for the system, then transitioned after 8 years to a Neuro/Stroke position and now for the last 5 years is working in a small Toxicology practice in the Scottsdale, AZ area.
