Presented on March 26th by: Beth Hackett, MSN, APRN-BC, DNP
I began my nursing career in 1979. I worked in various nursing roles until 1993. In 1993 I began work as a Radiology Nurse in a community hospital. Being the first nurse in the department I developed the role with the assistance from many levels of hospital leadership using the Association of Radiologic and Imaging Nursing (ARIN) standards. In 2003 I graduated with an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner degree and proceeded to develop that role in the same setting. As our organization has now acquired additional radiology practices located in multiple hospitals, I am in the process of developing the Nurse Practitioner role across the system to enhance the quality of patient care.
