Background

About Deitra Gates

I have progressive experience in managed care, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and nursing. I have launched medical device and pharmaceutical products, I have designed benefit plans for small and large employer groups and I have consistently been ranked in the the top 5% of every company I have worked for. When I am not thinking about healthcare, finance, and sales, I like to write. I have written a Children's book. I am also interested in clinical research that is impacted by direct patient care. Clinical Nurse Specialists were the first of the advanced practice RNs. We are trained to provide direct care, collaborate, prescribe and conduct research to improve patient outcomes. I recently completed the requirements for a post masters adult gerontology acute nurse practitioner certificate. I completed my practicum hours at Fairfield Medical Center. I am prepping for AGACNP national boards and look forward to becoming an acute care or trauma NP. My background in healthcare administration, medical device and pharmaceutical sales and my nursing experience make me uniquely qualified to function as a clinician, administrator and researcher. I can assess, write orders, collaborate, draw up a capital budget, write an executive summary and produce a marketing plan. I can assist in surgery, scrub anything from eye plastics to foot surgery. Specialties: Contracting, managed care, surgical assisting, advanced practice nursing, sales and marketing, writing research papers and children's stories
