Marisa Moyers, RN, ADN

Marisa Moyers received her AD in nursing from Albany, New York Regency Program. She is currently completing her degree in Organizational Management through the Quest Program at Covenant College.

Marisa has spent her nursing career involved in pediatric patient care. She spent 12 ½ years as a nurse in the PICU at Children’s Hospital at Erlanger where she worked as a team leader and preceptor to new nurses in the unit. She also spent time learning different aspects of nursing by taking a 3 year rotation through the Children’s Surgery and Recovery areas.

She functioned as the Procedure Nurse for the entire facility for three years; this involved all of the procedures within the facility, back up for the emergency department for traumas and back up for the PICU for overflow admissions. She started her role as the CRPC Outreach Coordinator in 2007. She brings a vast amount of pediatric experience to this position. She is a PALS, CPR and ENPC instructor.

Marisa has continued to have regional task force meetings in her facility quarterly to bring her regional hospitals together to share ideas and education. She has started, with the help of her prehospital coordinator, an EMS report card much like each CRPC does for their regional facilities. She has done many outreach educational dates in her regional hospitals including CME as well as contact education for nurses, respiratory therapist, and EMS personnel. She also provides PALS classes to her regional facilities if they can not attend classes in her facility.

Her goals for the CRPC outreach position include increased visits to all regional facilities that maintain education agreements with Children's at Erlanger and the regional EMS agencies. Marisa would like to have at least one mock code in each facility quarterly and provide not only in-house but also regional educational forums for her facilities.
