She began her nursing career in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Rhode Island Hospital before transitioning to that hospital’s Emergency Department, the only Level I Trauma Facility for Southeastern New England.  It was there that Professor Korzeniowski continued to nurture her passion for emergency/trauma nursing.  Since then, she has maintained board certification as an Emergency Nurse (CEN) and has shared her skills through her work in both large academic centers as well as small community emergency departments in RI, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
