Dave Dovell RN

My name is Dave Dovell, RN and I appreciate you taking the time to get to know me. I currently work as a registered nurse on a cardiac step-down unit with electrophysiology, cardiology, heart failure, and vascular patients. I also have emergency medical experience including time as an EMT Crew Chief within a 911 system plus a few years in a busy ER as a tech.

I have an extensive background outside of medicine as well, ranging from teaching to management. I draw on my experiences each time I go to work to the benefit of my patients and colleagues. I encourage all nurses to do the same, as well all bring a unique background and set of skills to the profession.

My purpose in writing is to share some of the best stories, advice, and tips I have acquired over the years. Nursing is a wonderful profession and it is both extremely challenging as well as rewarding. I believe nursing is the most important profession and, as such, I always enjoy teaching and supporting new nurses as they begin their careers.
