Phyllis Frost, RN, BSN

Originally a diploma nursing program graduate, I returned to school to obtain my BSN in 1979 from the University of Florida. My experience includes 24 years in Labor & Delivery along with 9 additional years in the PACU for Gynecological surgeries. I recently retired from full-time nursing after 33 years at Vanderbilt Medical Center! I am now very happy to be providing my IV expertise and lengthy nursing experience for Internal Balance Inc. on a par-time basis. Working here part-time is enjoyable and refreshing and I have an opportunity to stay sharp with my IV skills along with learning something very different late in my career.
