Hello all, My name is John Beal, I am currently the clinical coordinator for a medical/surgical unit at Cookeville Regional Medical Center. I graduated from Tennessee Technical University in 2020 with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I have a deep passion for my career and I take great pride in sharing my knowledge and experience over the years. I worked as a CNA for 8 years prior to getting my degree and loved the close relationship that exists between all components of the nursing team. In all positions I have held I was always part of the preceptor team, training new hires and students alike. I look forward to working with the students at Cumberland University, many who have graduated and hold positions currently here at CRMC and are among some of our best nurses. I hope to share my passion for nursing and help prepare students for their exciting new future.
