Janet Sue Coulter, RN, MSN, CCM, has been an RN for over 33 years. She graduated from a diploma school of nursing, and started her career as a staff nurse on a cardiac step-down unit. Janet earned her BSN and taught nursing for 15 years; and a MSN, as well as a Master of Science in Adult Education.
