Meet Sharon Terry | NICU RN

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sharon Terry and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sharon, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I am a NICU nurse of 23 yrs and started NuBorn Kare when she noticed how many parents were struggling with their transition from the hospital to home and knew there must be a solution. Through NuBorn Kare, I have been able to offer my veteran industry professional knowledge and guidance so you can have the confidence and peace of mind knowing that you’re doing everything the best way for your baby.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
This is from my about me page on my site

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I live in Montgomery, Texas, it’s just outside of The Woodlands and I live very close to Lake Conroe. The restaurants are wonderful in this area and the scenery is awesome. Montgomery is a lovely town full of history and has an old section of shops, wineries and more restaurants. The lake is beautiful and there are restaurants are on the water.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I am dedicating my shoutout to my family for all their support in keeping me focused and stepping out of the hospital setting. Also, the wonderful neonatologists, nurse practitioners, and respiratory, occupational, physical and speech therapists that have helped guide and educate me over my career so I could do the best for all my little patients giving them the best outcome possible.
