Candace Campbell, MSN-HCSM, RN (Candy The Nurse ) has worn two hats for many years; one as a healthcare professional, and the other as an artist.
She has worked as a NICU nurse, administrator, and educator in the areas of hospital and public health for over 20 years, but also holds degrees in Speech Communications and Theatre (and is an award-winning writer and actress http://www.imdb.me/candycampbell.com). The blending of her research and passion to share knowledge about the psycho-social implications of having a premature baby, and the desire to express it visually, compelled her to make the film, Micropremature Babies: How Low Can You Go?
She says she only writes books she wants to buy and can’t find. My Mom Is A Nurse is her tip o’ the hat to those who serve in that arena, while Good Things Come In Small Packages (I Was A Preemie) exists to help parents guide their toddlers through some rough waters of realization. Currently, she’s writing a non-fiction book to help parents. Watch for A Primer For Parents of Preemies, coming in 2012. (To receive an autographed copy, place your name on the waiting list by contacting us directly.)
The creation of Candy Campbell & Associates Healthcare Communication Specialists melds these two interest areas of healthcare and artistic problem-solving. From early days in college judging speech meets, to teaching improv, comedy, and healthcare (separately and simultaneously!) Candy brings continued experience as an educator, performer, and speech coach.
