Meet Sandra Gimblet, RN! Sandra is a multiple sclerosis (MS) infusion nurse who has worked in Shepherd Center’s Andrew C. Carlos MS Institute for 14 years. She sat down with us to share why she is so dedicated to her role. (Thread) #NursesWeek
✨Describe your role.
I give our patients with MS their IV infusion medications. Because these infusions can last anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, I am there to monitor my patients’ vital signs and teach them about MS and their treatment. Teaching is a BIG part of my job!
