Hi, I'm Josie.

I believe education to be one of the most important things for humans. Education is different from learning; with education, one truly understands the subject in which they are being taught. 

In elementary school, we are taught the Five W’s and One H: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. These are the foundation of asking a question and getting a clarified response. The first four are easy to apply. They normally have short, simple answers. However, the Why and the How are a little more complicated as they provide an explanation for the other parts. They tend to get neglected, even though they are the most important aspects of fully educating someone. The healthcare world is unfortunately not exempt from that negligence. The Why and the How are all too often left out during health education. This can be due to time constraints, intricate and complicated procedures or disease processes, or lack of proper knowledge from the educator.

The reasoning behind the Who, What, Where, and When is what I strive to be able to pass on to everyone I come in contact with. Understanding the holistic wellbeing of a person is at the top of my priorities as a healthcare provider and as an ethically driven person. In my years of nursing experience, my passion for education and helping others has propelled me toward this path of educator of our future healthcare providers. My determination in explaining the Why and the How, my empathy, and my adaptability to different environments are just three of many character traits that provide me with the means to becoming the best educator possible.
