This month you get to meet Lynn Cline.
Lynn has worked in the healthcare field for 30 years. As a child and growing up, she always enjoyed being a caregiver and knew that being a nurse is what she wanted to do for her career. Lynn began working LTC as a teenager, worked for a period of time as a CNA, then continued her education and became an RN.
The majority of Lynn’s work in the healthcare field
has been in acute care, working as a Registered Nurse. She has also worked as Director of Nursing in LTC and in Home Care. Lynn is a certified Risk Manager and
certified CQI manager for both acute and LTC. Lynn has a KDADS approval to teach the
following courses: Certified Nurse Aide, Social Service Designee, Activity Director, Home Health Aide, Medication Aide and also teaches continuing education for these positions. Lynn’s specialty is in adult education
for health care workers in LTC.
When she is not working Lynn loves to travel every
chance she gets. She loves to just get out, drive and find beautiful new
places. She enjoys taking walks with her
dog. She also admits that she is a
closet NCIS fan.
Lynn has learned that working in healthcare is a
lot of hard work, sadness, and joy but states, “the work satisfaction you get is
worth it all.” Lynn notes that there have been many, many changes
over her years in the healthcare profession.
In spite of these changes, Lynn states one goal has remained a
constant. That goal is one of being an
advocate for patients and the desire to give them the best care physically,
mentally and spiritually possible.
Everyone at WeCareOnline plays an important role in
helping students have the best online learning experience possible. Lynn is the founder and owner of WeCareOnline. She loves teaching and teaches several WCO
classes. Since WeCareOnline is an online company, Lynn
knows that people don’t get to see her face to face or to see her
workspace. She says that you would see
her with a
coffee cup in her hand and seated in her recliner
with laptop in hand talking to staff and students. Lynn states: “It's a blast working from home!”
Good Evening,
ReplyDeletePlease advise on where I order the textbook for the SSD course. I plan on taking the course on 12/15. I will also need to pay for the course on 12/14, the day before the course starts, will this be an issue?

ReplyDeleteLynn,
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to read your introduction. I have been working in the nursing field for almost 40 years. I am in the nursing program with 2 semesters left. I am excited to finally be a Nurse soon. This has been my life long dream. I first started as a Nurse Assistant in New York, then moved to Kansas. In Kansas, you had to be certified, therefore I had to retake the course. I then decided I would continue my education and became a restorative aide. I liked seeing the one on one time that activity directors had, so I went to school to be an activity director/social service designee. I still wanted more, I went back to school again and obtained my certified medication aide certification. Now, I did take a long road to keep going back to school, now I'm going to graduate next year with my LPN. I did take some courses for over two years for my BSN, but the clinicals were too long. Knowing me, I'm sure I will eventually obtain it.
I have worked in the er in New York. When I came to Kansas, I have worked in nursing homes, care homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals on the heart specialty floors. I also worked private duty. I enjoyed private duty the most because it isn't fast paced and there was time to listen to wonderful stories that the patients shared.
I'm married, having 5 children, and 12 grandchildren. All the kiddos have flown the coup. So we have an amazing dog named sissy poo. She is a Pom-chi. She keeps us going when happy, sad etc.
In our spare time, my husband and I enjoy going fishing.
I look forward to this medication aide update class to see what is being offered in new medications.
Hi my name is Anita I work at an innovative living facility. We are their guest. They get up when they want, sleep when they want and eat whatever they order. We are all cross trained to do several jobs .

ReplyDeleteCurrently, I work in a hospital (for 7+ years) and I enjoyed reading your profile and seeing firsthand your own career progression. I am currently enrolled in the CHUC program (I love that this training program is all done online and I don't have to drive anywhere in bad weather - and, I can study at times (day or night) when it is convenient for me). Thank you for sharing.
