Nursing News

Hello family and friends.  My name is Alanna McShane and I am the new Director of Nursing here at Great River Care Center.  I am beyond excited to join such a wonderful team and to care for your loved ones.  A little bit about myself, I was born and raised in Prairie du Chien, WI.  While attending college in Madison, WI I worked as a C.N.A. in a long-term care facility.  Soon after graduating with an associate’s degree in Nursing from Madison Area Technical College in 2015 I returned to Prairie du Chien.  My husband and I were blessed with our first child Gracelynn following my graduation.  I began working as a floor nurse at Prairie Maison and soon after I became the MDS Coordinator.  After a few years with Prairie Maison an opportunity arose and I transitioned to Assisted Living Coordinator with Crossing Rivers Health.  I am now a busy mother of TWO and have recently started my bachelor’s degree.  In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors, especially horseback riding.  I have always been passionate about the geriatric population and can promise you that your loved ones will be in good hands!  With the holidays and special events coming up I hope to get the chance to meet each of you. ~Alanna McShane, Director of Nursing
