This episode of BCEN and Friends lets you meet our friend, Nancy Denke.

Nancy is a Nurse Practitioner in Scottsdale, AZ.  She has lived & worked all over the United States. She grew up in New York and went to Penn State as an undergrad. Years later, she would return to school at the U. of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and earn her MSN as a Clinical Nurse Specialist and then return a year later to earn her FNP.  She worked as a NP in the ED until her husband’s job took them to Fort Collins, CO.  In 2005, her husband accepted a new position in the Phoenix area where landed a position as the 1st Trauma NP for the system, then transitioned after 8 years to a Neuro/Stroke position and now for the last 5 years is working in a small Toxicology practice in the Scottsdale, AZ area.

Nancy also received her Acute care NP certificate from St. Louis U. and a DNP in Leadership Innovation at Arizona State University where she has been teaching in the DNP program from 2014.

Come along as Michael Dexter and Hollye Briggs talk with Nancy about her nursing career which has led to her study of toxicology and a passion for collaboration with the patient care team. When it comes to solving the puzzle of “what did my patient get into?” Nancy is an expert in this field.

This episode is called Talking Toxicology: a recipe for disaster.
