LORETTA MOSHER

LORETTA MOSHER has achieved nurse-executive status at Little Falls Hospital (part of Bassett Healthcare Network) after receiving her master’s degree in nursing.

Additionally, they demonstrate financial responsibility and provide employees with continuing-education opportunities. Nurse executives design and manage patient-care plans and cultivate networks for quality care and wellness. To become a nurse executive, individuals must earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing followed by a master’s. The master’s program generally takes two years to complete.
