Welcome to CCRN NET

 

Hi! My name is Steve Marshall

I am also a Critical Care Nurse employed full time by Moses Cone Health System in Greensboro, NC as a Level III RN in the Surgical ICU. I worked for Duke Life Flight from December of 2003 until June of 2007.  I also worked relief for Moses Cone Care Link Mobile Critical Care from December 2003 until May of 2006.  I previously worked for Moses Cone Health System in Greensboro, NC as a Flexible Resources Nurse for the Critical Care Units and Emergency Department from September of 2000 until December of 2003.

I was employed by Morehead Memorial Hospital in Eden, North Carolina as a Charge Nurse in the ICCU (Intensive Coronary Care Unit) from September of 1996 until June of 2000.  I previously worked in the Critical Care Unit of Danville Regional Medical Center (A Service of Danville Regional Health System) in Danville, Virginia from December of 1993 to February of 1999.  I also worked at Piedmont Prime Care in Danville as a PNA (Professional Nursing Assistant) and a RN from September 1992 to December 1993.

I graduated from The Memorial Hospital of Danville School of Nursing in June of 1993 with a Diploma in Nursing.  I began working in Critical Care in December of 1993.  I joined The American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) in December of 1994.  I received my Certification in Critical Care Nursing (CCRN) in February of 1996.

My biography is listed in the 1st Edition of Who's Who in American Healthcare 1997-1998 on page 721!

My hobbies include photography, martial arts, weightlifting, computers and the internet and working on cars. I also provide a variety of computer services.  See the Marshall Computer Services site for more info.

In January of 1999 I began working out at California Combat Concepts in Eden.  It is a Martial Arts academy that trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing, escrima, kenpo karate, etc.  CCC is a member of Team-ROC along with Academy of Mixed Martial Arts in Hillsborough, NC.  I also began weightlifting.  I do all of the website work for the CCC and Team-ROC sites.  I competed in the 1999 Fall Kickfest in November of 1999 and won my first Vale Tudo fight by decision. I also competed in a grappling tournament in Wake Forest North Carolina in September of 2000 and placed 4th overall in my division.  I am looking forward to competing in future Kickfests and Tournaments, keep an eye on the Team-ROC site for upcoming events.  

In November of 1999 I had LASIK eye surgery performed at Southeastern Eye Center in Greensboro, NC.  I now see 20/20 without any glasses or contacts.  For those of you that knew me before knew I was pretty blind without them.  My corrections were -12 in the left and -10.75 in the right.  Thanks to Dr. Stonecipher and Dr. McMackin and all the crew at Southeastern!

On April 20th,  2002 I married Tiffany Neili Knight.  We bought a house in Reidsville, NC.

In December of 2003 I started working Full Time for Duke Life Flight. It had always been my dream to be a flight nurse and I finally got the opportunity to pursue this dream. I transferred to CareLink Mobile Critical Care at Moses Cone for some second income.

I purchased my first motorcycle, a 2005 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom in September of 2004. I had never ridden a motorcycle before and had to purchase an enclosed trailer to tow it home from Myrtle Beach, SC. It took a couple of days for me to get brave enough to take it off the trailer but I finally did and it wasn't too hard to get the hang of riding. My wife said she would never get on it but she eventually changed her mind and discovered that she loved riding too!

Since my wife was riding regularly with me now she said that she would like a bigger bike so that she would be more comfortable (who could argue with that!) So I wound up purchasing a 2005 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic. The Sportster was sold via EBay.

I also bought a 2001 Suzuki SV650S that I used for commuting to work because it got about 55MPG. I kept it for almost a year but decided that I was getting a little too brave (i.e. riding FAST) so I sold it via EBay.

After I sold the Suzuki I began riding the Softail to work more. I found myself having to leave stuff behind because it only had the 2 saddle bags and I did not want to wear a backpack with it. One of the pilots I work with had a Electra Glide and I sat on it one day and was hooked!!

Enter the 3rd and current Harley - a 2006 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic. It is an AWESOME bike!!! I bought this one in March of 2006.

I also received my NC EMT certification in March of 2006!

In May of 2006 I finally admitted that I had a problem with alcohol. After much soul searching and discussion with my wife, I entered Fellowship Hall in Greensboro, NC for Detox and rehab on May 12th, 2006. My official sobriety date is May 13th because I was drunk when I was admitted to Fellowship Hall. I learned alot about alcoholism and myself while I was there and now know that I will NEVER drink again!
