My name is Ashley Strader. I will be teaching NIP 120, Maternal Child Nursing Care in the Nursing Integrated Program in the Spring 2008. I graduated from Madisonville Community College with an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing in December 1997. I completed my BSN in 2004 from Murray State University. I will graduate from Western Kentucky University in May 2008 with a Masters of Science Degree in Nursing with a dual subspecialty in Nursing Education and Family Nurse Practitioner.

My nursing background includes working as a Registered Nurse at Regional Medical Center in the Tender Beginnings Birthplace (OB) for approximately 9 years. I still work as a PRN RN on that unit. I came to Madisonville Community College in the Spring 2005. I have taught Maternal Child Nursing and Introduction to Health Deviations in the Practical Nursing Program.
