McClintock, RN, BSN, is a nurse of great passion and unwavering determination to excellence in all facets of patient care. She chose to work in the specialty of medical-surgical nursing, which is concerned with the care of adult patients in a broad range of settings, from inpatient care units, clinics, HMOs, ambulatory care units, and home health care to long-term care, skilled nursing homes, urge
nt care centers, surgical centers, and universities. Shayna enjoys reading the American Journal of Nursing to stay abreast on the latest developments in her specialty. According to the Academy of Medical Surgical Nurses, “medical-surgical nursing is the foundation of all nursing practice. Once upon a time and not so very long ago, all nurses practiced the art and science of nursing on wards; everyone was a medical or surgical nurse - that is where all nursing started. Medical-surgical nursing has evolved from an entry-level position to a distinct specialty. It is no longer viewed as a stepping-stone, but is the solid rock and the backbone of every institution. Medical-surgical nurses are the largest group of practicing professionals. It is one of the most demanding nursing specialties.” Shayna practices in Blue Springs, Missouri, serving locals as well as people from the surrounding communities. Drawing on her education, training and experience she developed a vast set of skills, acts as an advocate for patients, always welcoming diversity, and making a difference in people’s lives.
