C.P. Mitchell

C.P. Mitchel, originally from California, moved to Texas to pursue a career as a Pediatric Nurse. She knew from a young that she wanted to be a nurse. C.P. Mitchell comes from a large family, the middle child of 7, and grew up in a loving environment filled with joy and good times. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Lamar University from Beaumont, Texas, and worked as a Medical Technologist (MLS, ASCP) for five years before branching back into nursing. She later obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington. In her tenure of being a nurse, she has worked as Oncologist Nurse, Women Health Nurse, Infection Control Nurse, and currently works as an Industrial Nurse where she still focuses on preventing infections. Being a nurse has truly been a dream come true. C.P. Mitchell is a member of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), Infusion Nurses Society (INS), and Association for Vascular Access (AVA). She’s a member of her local PTA where she volunteers by reading books to children in elementary schools and day cares for story time. Seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces, and hearing what they want to be when they grow up brings her so much joy. C.P. Mitchell is the author of Nurses Are Superheroes Too, and a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). From the Desk of C.P. Mitchell When I’m not taking care of patients, educating others in my work, or brainstorming ideas for my next book, I enjoy traveling, trying new and exciting cuisine, and spending time with family and friends. You might also find me reading a really good book. I love to travel! It reminds me of my favorite holiday, the most wonderful time of year, Christmas. Like Christmas, traveling allows you to be in a happy, joyful mood. It’s a peaceful place that increases positive thoughts and inspiration. It’s relaxing and I get to explore my creative side. My mind is open to run free. I definitely leave all worries behind when I travel.  My Favorite Books as a Child Where the Sidewalk Ends If You Give a Mouse A Cookie The Berenstain Bears series James and the Giant Peach Frog and Toad stories Learn more and download activity sheets at: Ladybuglove2read.com Email for bookings: CPMitchell@ladybuglove2read.com
