Julia K. Gulas, RN, BFA, MS.
Sandra Gans and I are sisters
and our lives very much paralled each other. Both are nurses and both
married to federal agents which required relocating at times. I graduated
from Fairmont State College for Nursing, went on to get an Art degree
from UNC Greensboro and then back in the field of rehab, getting a
Masters Degree in Rehabiliation Studies at East Carolina University.
During my 36 years of nursing experience, I have worked in various
hospitals in medical surgical nursing. Other areas include long term
care nursing, utilization review, telephone triage for an HMO, discharge
planning and MDS coordinator.
I have spent a lot of time doing research on care planning and was
always disappointed with the generic, bland and often useless care
plans available. In order to make them meaningful and individualized,
I had to create my own which was very time consuming. It is my hope
that this effort will be of benefit to our customers.
