About
My name is Winona Ferris. I am currently working towards my bachelor's of nursing at Bemidji State University in Bemidji, MN. I am a registered nurse who has worked their way up. I started out as a certified nursing assistant(CNA) in high school and have been in healthcare for more than 15 years. I am passionate about what I do. I care for each patient as if they are my own family.
I have been married for 3 years and have a 2 year old toddler who keeps me busy. I currently work at the Red Lake Indian Health Service as a care coordinator. I am Native American and very proud of my heritage. I like artwork, singing, outdoors, swimming, reading, and hanging out my family.
