April d. calvert
Owner
I have worked in the nursing field for over 32 years. I was 18 when I enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves as a 91D(Operating Room Specialist). I went on to work in several areas in the hospital in my hometown. I did attempt, a few times, to go for the RN degree, but it just wasn't for me. I did, however, go on to LPN school. I received the Florence Nightingale Award while I was there. I worked at TN State Veterans Home for some years and received The Best of The Best Award in my hometown. That award was given to me from voters in my community.
Nurdesign Medcart
THE Medbubble
I set out to make a way to help nurses ergonomically. I am a small and short person. I have pushed and pulled on medicine carts for so long, I decided to make a difference. I invented the Height-Adjustable Medicine Cart. This is my contribution to nursing. I am very open to licensing at this time.
