Stefanie Wilbur
Nursing InstructorStefanie Wilbur began her nursing career as an LPN in the United States Army. She
trained at the AMEDD Center and School in San Antonio, Texas, and completed her clinical
training at both Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C. and the National
Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
After completing her LPN, Stefanie enrolled in Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont,
to complete her Bachelors of Science in Nursing. Her education was temporarily halted
for an overseas deployment where she served as an ICU nurse in a Combat Support Hospital
in Tikrit, Iraq. Stefanie returned home from deployment to graduate from Norwich University.
Stefanie spent the next three years working in the Emergency Department at Rutland
Regional Medical Center in Rutland, Vermont.
There were significant changes afoot for Stefanie and her family when they purchased
a dairy farm, had their second child, and Stefanie transitioned from Emergency Nursing
to Community Health Nursing. For the next seven years, Stefanie enjoyed serving the
overnight emergency needs of hospice, home care, and maternal-child patients of Addison
County, Vermont. With their three young children, Stefanie and her husband operate
a 40-cow organic dairy farm on 250 acres in Orwell, Vermont. These days Stefanie’s critical care nursing skills are used on cows, newborn calves,
sick horses, no longer patients in the ICU.
Stefanie enjoys crafts of all kinds, her gardens, skiing, and boating. Stefanie has
enjoyed teaching skiing and sewing to children of all ages. Stefanie has dreamed of
teaching nursing students for as long as she can remember and is excited to bring
her diverse experience to North Country students!
