(I Was A Preemie)

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 for Pan American World Airways, she had a career epiphany one day en route to Karachi, Pakistan from New Delhi, India, and decided to become a nurse. She has been a practicing Neonatal nurse for 21 years. Candy (as her friends call her) received her Neonatal Certificate and specialty training in California at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where she gained experience working with neonatal heart transplant cases. Prior her work in Neonatology, Candace worked as a Labor and Delivery nurse and educator, as well as an ER/ICU/CCU nurse. Her nursing career began in Psychiatry, working with many Vietnam Vets at the VA Hospital in L.A. That experience led to research within the medical community about PTSD, and the effects of working in a war zone. The result later became a film script and a novel called Walking Point (to be released in 2010).

.

Currently, Ms. Campbell advocates for  families of preemies with the March of Dimes, and  for nurses through the American Nurses Association of California. She also teaches in the local level 3  NICU. while pursuing her other creative interests, including writing, speaking, acting, painting, and finding new ways to annoy her children.

Candace is a card-carrying member of several associations, mainly beginning with the letter “a,” including the ANA, ASCAP, AFTRA, ANN, ASOPA and ACHE. She is also the proud mother of three hard-working young adults.

.

Candy has appeared on ABC, CBS, CNN, COX and CRN networks speaking on prematurity and related topics. She is currently working  on a book for parents of premature babies called A Primer For Parents of Preemies, as well as Mi Mama Es Una Enfermera, an activity book and coloring books based on the series, all slated for release in 2010.
