Lois's Story
Life
After high school, I attended UMF for 2 years (pre nursing) and transferred to UMaine for nursing. Graduated 1987. Worked as a Registered nurse in Medical surgical and maternity/newborn areas in Bangor and then moved to Portland when I met and married Dennis Hamel in October, 1988.
Began the Masters at USM in 1991 and graduated in 1994 and taught at Westbrook College full time for 4 years while I worked on my Nurse practitioner.
Graduated with the Nurse Practitioner in 1998 from Simmons College at Westbrook and went into practice full time in 3 days/week within a women's cancer (gyn oncology) practice in Portland as the first GYN oncology NP in Maine. I ordered chemotherapy and monitored and treated symptoms.
I left that job to finish the doctorate (PhD). I graduated with the PhD July, 2003 and we threw a PhD graduation/15th wedding anniversary party and left for Ireland!!
I now am in a full time tenure track assistant profe...Expand for more
ssor position teaching at USM in the undergraduate and graduate (Nurse practitioner) programs full time. I maintain my NP by working 1 day a week. I work part time as a consultant NP for nursing homes and speak for pharmaceutical companies. I was just promoted to regional director in this consulting practice at Specialized Health Management and am responsible for the programming, research and clinical mentoring for them.
I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and a house spouse. My husband retired from Law enforcement at 40 with his 20 years in-- between military and law enforcement.
I'm hoping to one day have a camp on the water in Maine for the summers/falls and a place in Florida for the winters for my "summers" off schedule. BUT for now a plan we are considering is an RV or VERY clean, comfortable tag along pop-out type trailer that we can tour the country in and bring our animals during my time off. ANY leads, let me know... LOIS (Withey) HAMEL
