Candy Campbell
Candace Campbell, DNP, MSN-HCSM, RN, CNL, FNAP has worn two hats for many years; one as a healthcare professional and the other as an artist An Oregon native, Candace Campbell came to the nursing profession through a circuitous route. After earning a BA in Speech Communications/Theatre, and working as a flight attendant and PR rep for Pan American World Airways, she experienced a career epiphany one day en route to Karachi, Pakistan from New Delhi, India, and felt “called” to become a nurse.
Her nursing career began in Psychiatry, working with many Vietnam Vets at the VA Hospital in Southern California. That experience led to research within the medical community about PTSD, and the moral distress of medical personnel working in a war zone. When she’s not performing as Florence Nightingale, Candy speaks on two main topics: her clinical research with families of premature babies, and about her research bringing better modes of communication to the healthcare world.
