{"id":1284,"name":"Emily F. Moore, RN, MSN, CPNP-PC, CCRN","url":"","description":"I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I am of Alaska Native descent (my grandmother is from the Tlinget tribe in Southeast Alaska), and I come from a large family of 6 girls. I believe that all this has given me an interesting perspective on healthcare and nursing. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a nurse \u2014 a mission that I pursued through an associate degree in nursing from Everett Community College in 2002 and bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees at UCLA, completed in 2009.\r\n\r\nMy nursing career began in the pediatric intensive care unit at Mattel Children\u2019s Hospital at UCLA. After graduating with my master\u2019s degree, I took my first position as a pediatric nurse practitioner in the Heart Center at Seattle Children\u2019s Hospital. After 6 years in cardiac surgery, I transitioned to the heart center\u2019s regional program (covering the large area of Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). With a focus on postdischarge care, I collaborate with patients, physicians, and even hospitals to provide continuity of care and bridging care back to our hospital, and I educate providers within the region. Regional medicine has become a passion of mine. In a world where medicine is as advanced as it is, I am often amazed to see how little some communities in our region have in the way of basic health needs (some have no running water).\r\n\r\nI have two daughters \u2014 a toddler and a newborn \u2014 and am married to a high school football coach. We live by Friday night lights throughout the season. I love yoga and Barre3; both keep me sane.","link":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/frontlines-clinical-medicine\/author\/emoore\/","slug":"emoore","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b8b068df9ef8b44669e3f41d4dd9f8c2c59c73a82399cb30d2351731d3832c75?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b8b068df9ef8b44669e3f41d4dd9f8c2c59c73a82399cb30d2351731d3832c75?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b8b068df9ef8b44669e3f41d4dd9f8c2c59c73a82399cb30d2351731d3832c75?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/frontlines-clinical-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.nejm.org\/frontlines-clinical-medicine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
