Lynne is both a nurse and educator, which she said makes her unique in her profession."Before I was a nurse and NP (nurse practitioner), I was a kindergarten teacher," she said. "While I was a L & D (labor and delivery) nurse, I was certified as a childbirth educator. During my career as a NP, I taught many Women's Wellness classes. The aspect I enjoy the most about being a NP is teaching my patients about their bodies and their health, getting well and staying well."
Lynne's last position was at North Coast Women's Care with Dr. Christine Brody.
"I heard about Christine's first small Nicaragua mission last year, and let her know I would like to go on any future missions," Lynne said. "And here we are!"
The Nicaragua trip won't be her first medical mission. Lynne went to Fiji last January.
"I really enjoyed getting to know and care for the local Fijians who were extremely grateful for our presence and our gifts of health and dental care," she said. "I expect a similar kind of cultural experience, with the added bonus of being able to speak Spanish with the Nicaraguans."
