Lecturer and Summer Camp Director
Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
Flight Nurse Specialist

Mrs. Nieman began her career in caring for and transporting critically ill patients in 1993 as an advanced clinical nurse for Critical Care Transport after 10 years of progressive accomplishments as a staff nurse, including neonatal, pediatric and emergency care practices. She managed the mobile ICU system that served greater Cleveland and was responsible for its growth and reputation for competent clinical care.

Early in her career, Carolyn was identified as a resource for all patients and developed a researc-based poster-style algorithm that is still in use today. Since 1998, she has served as a flight nurse specialist with MetroLife Flight. She is certified as an emergency nurse, a flight nurse, and most recently as an acute care nurse practitioner.

Her publications include Out of Hospital Intubation of Pediatric Patients (JAMA) and Intubated Pediatric Patients requiring Air Transport (Air Medical Journal). She is the principal investigator of a comprehensive study of resucitation doses for children.
