The future of PMHNP education
STARTS WITH YOU
Are you an experienced psychiatric mental health professional looking to inspire the next generation?
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner student who is deeply passionate about mental health. I am looking for a preceptor to guide me in the intricate realm of behavioral health.
About Me - Audra Umthun
With six years of diverse experience across behavioral health and critical care, I'm driven to continue evolving. I am eager to make meaningful contributions to mental health care as a graduate student nurse practitioner at Northern Kentucky University. I'm endlessly intrigued by the complexities of the human mind and have always been drawn to healthcare.
As an avid reader that is always hungry for new knowledge, I relish the opportunity to expand my horizons through reading. I enjoy reading on my porch swing surrounded by my vegetable garden, which is a tradition passed down by both of my grandmothers. I find joy in the simple yet profound art of growing and preserving food. I frequently use my own herbs as I engage in another hobby, cooking delicious Italian & French recipes for my family and friends. I often seek solace in the serene embrace of nature, navigating its waters while kayaking & casting my line for hungry trout. I enjoy all art and am known to always be looking forward to a new show or movie release.
At home, I share my life with my beloved spouse and several of our furry companions.
