Lindsay Spurgeon is currently resided in Mount Pleasant in the greater Charleston area.

Lindsay worked as a registered nurse in the emergency department, gaining the experience to become a board-certified trauma nurse through the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing. Lindsay expanded into expert testimony in trauma cases, also working as a pediatric trauma nurse in a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center as well as a Level II Pediatric Trauma Center.

Lindsay then became involved in assisting the start-up of an expanding and newly improved Center of Hope for pediatric sexual assault victims through a grant funding program provided to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, IN. Marian County Franciscan Alliance trained Lindsay through a vigorous didactic and clinical course to obtain her certification as forensic nurse examiner.

Through this experience Lindsay was offered the opportunity to teach undergraduate nursing at Marian University and was offered to join the St. Vincent Neonatal and Pediatric Critical Care Transport Team as a Board-Certified Neonatal and Pediatric flight nurse, specializing in air and ground transportation. Lindsay found her love in neonatology and graduated in 2020 with her Master of Science in Nursing, Neonatology, from the University of Indianapolis as a Board -Certified Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP-BC). Lindsay currently travels and practices as an NNP-BC in more than four hospitals spanning across the United States.

Lindsay has remained an involved member of many professional organizations and serves as the Co-Chair for a non-profit organization currently operating to achieve grants to aid in the mental health of adolescents affected with depression following the COIVD-19 pandemic. Lindsay also was heavily involved in the American Red Cross, and deployed to serve as a disaster action responder to the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. In 2021, Lindsay was offered a scholarship for the Academy of Neonatal Nursing’s Annual Conference in Honolulu, HI to showcase her literature review and development of an algorithm proposal, “Code Alert HIE: Establishing a Code Alert System That Will Provide Immediate Recognition of Cooling Candidates.” Her work was subsequently published in Neonatal Network July 2021 Issue 4 Volume40.

Lindsay’s passion for helping people expands beyond her nursing practice. For that reason, she decided to become certified as a legal nurse consultant to take her experience from within the hospital and bring it to the court room to help many others she otherwise wouldn’t be able to.
