Welcome! My name is Molly Bradshaw. I began my nursing career in 1998 when I graduated with an Associate Degree in Nursing from Eastern Kentucky University. I have held mutiple roles and positions in nursing over the years as a staff nurse, nurse manager, school nurse, military nurse, nurse educator, and nurse practitioner. In 2005, I obtained my Master of Science in Nursing from the Unversity of Kentucky. Since then I have practiced full-time as a nurse practitioner. I am nationally board certified in both Family and Women's Health. I currently practice at First Choice Immediate Care, which is a Federally Qualified Health Center in Columbia, Kentucky operated by Cumberland Family Medical Group. I am a faculty member at Eastern Kentucky University.
Prescribing medication is an essential and critical part of my daily practice. I have dedicated my doctoral work to helping my students develop their knowledge and skill to become safe, rational prescibers. This website, my infographic gallery, and the CEU courses listed are a collection of synthesized evidence that I have translated to fill a void in nurse practitioner education and clinical practice. I hope you find the information helpful and inspiring...
