Background

About Myckenzie Gallagher

Hello! My name is MycKenzie Gallagher. I became a nurse in February 2018 and have worked many roles within my field. I started my nursing career as a Float Pool RN working on every inpatient unit within my organization. I have been an endoscopy RN working with outpatients in the ambulatory side of my organization. I have also been a labor and delivery RN where I helped mothers and babies in all stages of the birthing process. I am currently a Clinical Risk Analyst for Risk Management within my organization. My previous experience has helped me to understand the workings of my job today. I am able to impact patient safety without having to be at the bedside. I served as the chairperson for my organization’s Professional Practice, Quality, and Safety council (in a magnet designated hospital) for 3 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Nursing Leadership with a concentration in Public Health. I was a member of the Sigma Theta Tau, a national honor society for nursing. I have been on the Dean’s list numerous times for academic achievement. I have also been nominated as a Delaware Nurse of the Year for 2021.
