A clinical instructor, she created a Web site, JessicaFarrone.weebly.com, to chronicle her experience of transitioning from RN to nurse practitioner and to “reflect on my journey and share the knowledge I have acquired about the process.” She’s also an “information junkie” and “obsessive reader of all things nursing and medical.”
