About the author:
From humble beginnings that included her father's alcohol, physical, and verbal abuse, an inquisitive girl nicknamed Sassy became a notable figure in nursing at the state and national levels. A high school dropout, she earned her first nursing degree in California after her third child was born. After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Louisiana Monroe, where she taught for five years, she obtained a master’s degree from the University of Mississippi.
She moved back to Arkansas for the Director of Nursing position at Conway Regional and to be near her family in Pine Bluff. Three years later she assumed a new position at the Arkansas State Board of Nursing—the Director of Advanced Practice Nursing. Defining the APN role and prescriptive authority and the development of the ASBN Update, the first board of nursing magazine in the nation, were her major feats at the board.
She is married to Roger Lewis, former Director of Institutional Research at UCA, and lives in Conway AR.
The Conway library serves as the headquarters library for the county sytem of six libraries as well as the Faulkner County–Van Buren County Regional Library.
