Carol Tyner
RN/APRN
I have over 49 years of nursing experience, with the last 19 years as an APRN Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. My yearning has been to progressively integrate my knowledge base, skills and experience as a nurse to meet the needs for whom I care for. I have been influential with individuals at various stages of life’s continuum and have gained many capabilities from the challenges that have been presented to me. As a persistent learner with a appetite for knowledge that provides integrative care, I was encouraged to look towards functional medicine and I do believe that A4M is on the leading edge of a much needed service. I believe my certification in the A4M Fellowship Program can fulfill my goals and foster a passion for health as we progress towards a life of grace.
Experience 2005 to current APRN Neonatal Nurse Practitioner I have a established record as a case manager in Level II-Level IV NICU units, as well as Transport Services of the critically ill newborn. The last five years I was a part of Community Based Hospital initiatives in partnership with the Baylor College of Medicine Neonatology staff for the provision of care for those newborns who required resuscitation, stabilization, case management and transport services throughout Texas Children’s Hospital various network facilities. Case management was from admission to discharge home with family members. This also included co-ordination of follow up care with referrals to appropriate specialties based on individualized needs of the newborn and their families.

In 2011 I became a Simulation Hospital based instructor and have taught NNP student procedures with simulation courses at University of Texas School of Nursing in Austin and University of Texas School of Nursing in Galveston.

My clinical practice allowed me to provide services to patients in Antepartum and Postpartum, Labor/Delivery, Newborn and Neonatal Intensive Care Units, and Pediatrics. I was able to advance to Clinical Coordinator of the Nursery, become an OB/GYN manager, and Director of Maternal/Newborn Services within various community-based facilities. I also provided education to staff members as an AHA Advanced Life support instructor, AWOHNN Advanced and Regional Fetal Monitoring Instructor and Neonatal Resuscitation Based Instructor. 1975-1985 RN AD My nursing experience began as a staff nurse in Oncology and inpatient Dermatological Unit with training in Dermatology from Mayo Clinic.
