Host Dr. Lisa Beasley talks with Rebecca Flora-Waterman, an APRN family nurse practitioner, about a career that began in the classroom and grew through motherhood, lactation consulting, bedside nursing, and advanced practice. Rebecca shares how teaching shaped the way she cares for patients, what it was like to start nursing school as an older student with four children, and what she learned in an integrative practice about treating the whole person. She also discusses her work in a nurse practitioner led community health clinic through ETSU, the influence of her mother’s nursing career, and why she is now pursuing her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.
