Meet Our Instructor

Connie Doucet is a palliative certified Registered Nurse with many years experience in a variety of healthcare settings. She had worked in community with the Extra Mural Program for 20+ years and came to the realization early on in her career that people preferred to be at home to receive their care. However, to stay at home they needed help.

Connie has a passion for teaching ,and when asked to join the Parkers PSW training team she jumped at the opportunity.

PSW’s provide care in a variety of settings. Connie truly believes that PSW’s are valued members of the health care team who spend the most time with their clients. Ongoing education will provide the workers with the skills necessary to observe and report changes in their client’s condition.

Connie is excited to be given the opportunity to teach classes with Parkers.
