"I have over twelve years of experience working in behavioral health. I started as a mental health counselor, leading group discussions and one-on-one patient care. I decided to pursue higher education, received my nursing degree, and worked for the past eight years at Regional Hospital. My job duties included initiating and developing the plan of care, patient and family education, utilization management, and discharge planning."
