Boasting
over 25 years of experience as a registered nurse, Dr. Gardiner-Boudreaux is an
expert in her field, specializing in the treatment of ICU burns. She began her
nursing career as an LPN in 1996 at the West Jefferson Medical Center where she
assisted patients in the ICU, SICU,
CCU, and trauma units. Revered for her gentle nature and commitment to her
patients, Dr. Gardiner-Boudreaux considers her key to success to be her
military training, serving 26 years in the United States Army rendering her
regimented and heightening her problem solving skills. She “thought to be a pediatric nurse, but
transitioned to the ICU Burn Unit because it was less emotional helping
adults”. As for advice for those who
plan on entering this field, Dr. Gardiner-Boudreaux emails, “Be sure to have
compassionate people you’re taking care of (and have the emotional intelligence
for it)”. She is an esteemed member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor
