00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:03,370
- Hi, my name is Lori Banning,

2
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:08,370
and I'll be working with you
in PRNU113 lab this semester.

3
00:00:08,630 --> 00:00:10,430
Since I'm new to the UVM system,

4
00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:13,410
I would like to tell you
a little bit about myself.

5
00:00:13,410 --> 00:00:15,870
I graduated from St.
Joseph's College in Maine

6
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:18,180
with my Bachelor of
Science degree in nursing.

7
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:21,370
And my first job was
working in a step-down unit

8
00:00:21,370 --> 00:00:22,810
for about a year.

9
00:00:22,810 --> 00:00:25,530
From that position I went into working

10
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:29,593
in the intensive care units
for about the next 20 years.

11
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:32,170
After taking care of

12
00:00:33,870 --> 00:00:37,560
very sick medical and
surgical ICU patients,

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,220
I decided I wanted a change in nursing.

14
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:46,220
So I had the honor to care
for patients in the community,

15
00:00:46,730 --> 00:00:50,060
doing community health
nursing, hospice care,

16
00:00:50,060 --> 00:00:53,350
and I did forensic nursing working

17
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:55,240
with the sexual assault
nurse examiner program

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,790
in Massachusetts for about 10 years.

19
00:00:57,790 --> 00:01:00,640
And I also did continuing care nursing

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,720
in the hospital setting, getting
patients ready to go home,

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,210
ready for discharge to home.

22
00:01:07,210 --> 00:01:10,440
After receiving my
Master's Degree in nursing,

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,040
I taught at the University
of Massachusetts Dartmouth

24
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,670
and at the Brockton
Hospital School of Nursing.

25
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:20,670
From there, and before we
moved to Vermont in 2021,

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,280
I had the honor of taking
care of patients with cancer

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,690
and administering their
chemotherapy and immunotherapy

28
00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:31,373
and working alongside
hematologists and oncologists.

29
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:34,150
I look forward to working with you

30
00:01:34,150 --> 00:01:38,030
as you start your preparation
and caring for patients.

31
00:01:38,030 --> 00:01:39,980
So please feel free to reach out to me

32
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:44,010
if you need any assistance
in learning this semester's

33
00:01:44,010 --> 00:01:46,590
foundational clinical skills.

34
00:01:46,590 --> 00:01:49,993
Hope you had a great winter
vacation and I'll see you soon.
