This episode of BCEN and Friends lets you meet our friend Laura Kemerling.

Laura is a registered nurse and works for the Children’s Mercy Critical Care Transport team in Kansas City, Missouri.

She graduated from Missouri Western State University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and began her nursing career in the operating room at Children’s Mercy Hospital, later transitioning to adult ICU nursing for several years. Laura returned to pediatric care in 2010 to work for the Transport team.

Upon completing a Master of Science in Nursing Education from Benedictine University in 2018, she began clinical instructing for BSN students. Her current full-time role focuses on Transport and EMS relations, outreach education, and caring for critically ill neonatal, pediatric, and maternal fetal patients in the out-of-hospital setting.

Laura maintains a national certification in neonatal and pediatric transport through the NCC and she is an active member of the Missouri and Kansas Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC), as well as the Air and Surface Transport Nurses Association (ASTNA). She is an instructor for the Pediatric Advanced Transport Course and the S.T.A.B.L.E. Program, and has hosted multiple webinars, symposiums, and workshops focused on evidence-based pediatric emergency care in the transport environment.

Michael Dexter and Mark Eggers talk with Laura, about her role as the coordinator for Children’s Mercy Critical Care Transport program. What an amazing story.
