Biography
Growing up, Dr. Hill never dreamed of being a nurse. She says that she "fell" into the discipline in college. “It was the best thing that ever happened to me. Nursing has provided opportunities grand and glorious,” says Dr. Hill. She has worked as a nurse in Israel, India, and Thailand. She has also worked at the bedside in critical care and in the emergency department. Additionally, she has been an administrator, teacher, and author (writing a nursing textbook). Every time Dr. Hill travels she meets another nurse and instantly strikes up a conversation. She treasures the sisterhood of nurses and hopes to expand the brotherhood of nursing!
