Meet the Lake Erie Chapter President Desiree Kirkwood, MSN, AGACNP-BC, CCRN!

Desiree works as a Regional Critical House Officer at the Cleveland Clinic and PRN as a clinical nurse in the Trauma Critical Care Department at MetroHealth. She is also a critical care clinical nursing instructor at Kent State University.

According to Desiree: "Critical Care has always been my first love in nursing! As a new graduate nurse, I briefly worked in the cardiac step-down unit at the Cleveland Clinic, shortly after transitioning to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. I worked there for 10 years as a clinical nurse. There was an opportunity to help start up an ICU telemedicine program where I was an assistant nurse manager and nurse manager of that department. Now, I am an acute care nurse practitioner at Cleveland Clinic. I joined (The Lake Erie Chapter) for professional growth, educational opportunities, networking, and leadership development. Local chapters are important in influencing nursing practice and progress at the local level."
