JANA HELGESON
With two decades of combined experience in veterinary and human emergency care, I bring a unique and specialized skill set to the table. As a board-certified ER nurse with 9 years in human ER nursing and 10 years in veterinary ER, trauma, and ICU care, I've developed a deep understanding of critical care.
My role as a TCCC CM/C instructor and an Air Force Reserves flight nurse with deployment experience further honed my trauma and prehospital care expertise. Driven by a passion for the health and welfare of working dogs, I blend my diverse background in both human and animal emergency care to deliver impactful and effective medical training.
