Hi, I'm Abi Goulbourne, my students call me Miss G. I'm currently working full time at a local high school teaching CTE Health Science - Pre-Nursing Program since November 2020. I have been in the field of nursing since 1999 as an RN.  I've worked in many areas of nursing from being a bedside / floor nurse to administrative roles. I've worked ER and Med-Surgical units in the hospitals, Long Term Acute Care Hospitals, Nursing Home, Rehab Hospital with Traumatic Brain Injury, cardiac, orthopedics, neurology, and organ transplant patients. I've worked as an unit manager, house supervisor, on call triage nurse and case manager. Working in correctional facilities, home care, hospice, peritoneal dialysis, and as an agency nurse to help me to build a rapport with my clients/patients, develop strong assessment and communication skills in nursing.

​

     In 2020 I took on my first nursing travel assignment during COVID in Florida and Texas working 12 hour shifts 6-7 days a week. However it's rewarding knowing that you are helping to nurture patient back to health during the pandemic with high staffing shortages. I've dabbled in and continue to enjoy the experience of different  areas in nursing. I also teach BLS CPR course that is accredited by the American Heart Association. I am also STNA test evaluator for the state of Ohio (hired as an independent contractor for D&S Headmaster).

​

     On a personal note, I have 3 adult kids. I'm a GiGi (G-ma) to two.  I'm always thinking of ways to make money with the skills I am blessed with. I love to cook, color (crafts), listen to music, watch the ID channel (crime shows), go to concerts/ plays/ movies, traveling  and spend time with my family. I would love to obtain another travel assignment in the future that would allow me to work and play.

​

     My goal is to ensure that my trainees become successful healthcare workers by keeping them engaged, focused and driven to meet their career goals.
