Ann Stadtler, DNP, RN, CPNP - Leaving a Lasting Legacy
|
|
Ann Stadtler, DNP, RN, CPNP, knew early in life what she wanted to be when she grew up. As the oldest of four girls, Ann recalls the value placed on family and education, and serving as a strong role model for her younger sisters. “We were an amazing, busy, wonderful family,” Ann says, adding that she learned early on one thing she wanted for herself and her future – to be a mother.
Her family’s emphasis on education led Ann to another aspiration, that of being a nurse. “I loved the idea of taking care of people,” she says, with that love leading her to many new and unique opportunities throughout her storied career. Starting out as a charge nurse in an emergency room, Ann immediately gravitated to helping families navigate difficult and stressful situations. “I loved the crisis of the ER, and the relational aspect of helping families and taking care of them,” she adds.
