Kay Epi Slane
Travel Nursing University
Master of Ceremonies
​
Leona Kay Slane, RN started by receiving her Bachelor of Science in
Natural Science Education from Oklahoma Panhandle State University.
After substituting for three years, she started working as a CNA at the
local nursing home and worked there from 1990 to 1995. She started
travel nursing in 2003. In 2010, she worked at a local hospital as a
nursing supervisor for three years and completed her CGM (Certificate of
Graduate-level Nursing Management). Her itchy feet got her again, and
she traveled as a House Supervisor from 2013 to 2020.
During that time, she wrote ten books on travel nursing, with 9/10 going
to #1 on Amazon in the Nursing Issues, Trends, and Roles category. Her
books in the Nursing Reference category have been known to hang out with
such entities as Tabers, Lippincott, and Mosby. However, her proudest
moment as an author was when she simultaneously found three of her books
on the Amazon Top 20.
She was frustrated with the lack of information that you could find on
travel nursing when she first started. So, on August 21, 2003, she
created the website www.highwayhypodermics.com. She sold Highway
Hypodermics, LLC, in December 2022. She is currently working with Atlas
Medstaff is in the transition months as a consultant and will fully retire
from Highway Hypodermics on August 21, 2023, after shaping it for 20
years.
Leona Kay is now following her biggest dream by combining her
experiences in Nursing, Education, and Leadership by creating “Travel
Nursing University.” www.travelnursinguniversity.com
