As a young girl growing up in Hong Kong, May Cheung, MSN, RN-BC always dreamt of being either a nurse or a teacher. After graduating from her high school in Hong Kong, May courageously journeyed to the United States to attend nursing school. She loved what she learned at school; nursing was May’s passion, and she worked diligently. She received a nursing diploma at Mercy School of Nursing and went on to complete her RN-BSN through Winston-Salem University. Of course, May couldn’t stop there! She earned a masters degree at Queens University of Charlotte and recently found out that she passed the Nursing Professional Development Certification. Way to go May! However, May’s been busy in more than just the classroom. She is the Director of Nursing, Gerontology, and Dental Education at Charlotte Area Health Education Center (AHEC), where she participates in such activities as student training, continuing education, and consultation to promote professional nursing practice. May enjoys many aspects of her job, especially the opportunity to interact with many levels of nurses and participate in state and local nursing initiatives. She hopes to contribute as much as possible to the nursing profession and feels that NCNA helps her to do so. Since her workplace is an NCNA approved provider of continued nursing education, she appreciates the availability of the staff of NCNA to answer any questions. Outside of nursing, May is happily married with a three-year-old son. She loves to travel and hopes to take her son on his first trip to Hong Kong very soon. May Cheung is an ambitious nurse who traveled a long way to pursue her dream, and we should all be thankful that she did!
