Episode 009 - From Pre-Med to Clinical Nurse Instructor

Ashley S. MSN, RN CPN-PC

Ashley Sayles is a pediatric ICU travel nurse who hails from Jamaica, Queens, New York.  After graduating from Howard University with a degree in Sports Medicine in 2013, she realized being a physician was not her passion and decided to follow in the footsteps of her mother and older sister and apply for nursing school. 

Upon graduating from an accelerated second degree nursing program in December 2014, Ashley accepted a bedside nursing position in the Pediatric ICU where she has spent her nursing career since.  While working as a PICU RN, Ashley returned to school yet again and earned her MSN to become a Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner in December 2017. 

In addition to her bedside work and time in school, Ashley picked up working as a Pediatric Clinical Instructor part time and continues to do so.  As of February 2018. Ashley now works as a travel PICU nurse.
