My name is Jessica Baine and I am from southern Illinois.  My original nursing experience was in pediatric oncology.  Since then, I have worked in the PICU, NICU, CVICU, and ER.  Currently, I practice as a nurse practitioner in urgent care.  I have been practicing as an NP for 3 years.  This summer will be my 4th summer as the camp nurse for Camp Alphie and I can’t imagine spending a week of my summer anywhere else.  Working with vulnerable populations such as sick kids makes you realize one common thing…we do everything in our power to allow kids to be kids again.  I am a proud momma to my 3 year old son, Elliott George.  In my spare time, I have a blog, enjoy the lake, and eat any and everything taco!  I look forward to seeing all of you at camp this summer.
