President Elect

Mayble Thomas _____

LaMisa Rayside _____

Write In Candidate ____________________

My name is Mayble Thomas and am Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. I have a background in Pediatrics and NICU as a registered nurse. In my spare time, I love to travel, cook and hang with my family. I have been married for 4 years and have a 2 year old son.  Currently, I am teaching Practical Nursing students in Altamonte Springs. I chose to go into the classroom because there is a lack of empowerment to educate and lead nursing students to be the best they can be. The students I teach are coming from all backgrounds and low socioeconomic status. They are fighting the good fight just to make it through nursing school and I hope to support them in every way possible. I am running for President Elect because I want to do more for the community and bring unity between all healthcare professionals. I feel like at this age of my life, I need to do more to contribute and helping this organization CFANPC is one of the many things. I hope to hear everyone’s values and ideas to make this organization a successful one.

Hospitality

Amy Stone______

Write in Candidate ______________________

My name is Amy Stone.  I have been a nurse for about 18 years.  My career started off as a Licensed Practical Nurse which I learned a lot about medications, time management and wound care.  From there I moved to Florida from New Jersey and pursued my ASN through Valencia Community College.  I worked as a registered nurse on a progressive care unit and returned to school for my BSN at the University of Central Florida.  I went on to become a NP for the primary care adult gerontology population and received my MSN through South University last August of 2018.

Some of my accomplishment were a poster presentation call “Out with the Thigh High in with the Knee High SCD’s” in Chicago for the National Teaching Institute for Critical Care.  I also started up a Journal Club at South Seminole Hospital which offered a learning experience for all the nurses and CE’s for a bonus. I have three beautiful children which are all grown up except for my youngest who is 14 and is  still at home.  I volunteer at Shepherds Hope and my goal is to do a mission trip through Advent Health’s program to Ethiopia or Peru. I enjoy weight training and bike riding. 

I enjoy meeting new people and I have a passion for improving the knowledge of to others of how important the role of the Nurse Practitioner is in helping others in the community.  Nurse Practitioners are a vital part of our healthcare community and I would love to be chosen for the hospitality position on the Board for the Central Florida Nurse Practitioner Council.
