Note

Barbara Klein, RN: "I’m a nurse who proudly graduated in 1987 from Niagara University.  I started my one and only career at Winthrop University hospital now NUU Long Island. I’ve worked on a general surgical unit as a new grad for approximately 2 years and then transferred to telemetry where I spent another 6 years learning and growing. 29 years ago I started my current position in Outpatient cardiology, where I primarily perform stress testing.  I’ve enjoyed my entire career of growth and providing care to many types of patients groups."  Klein is a staff nurse at NYU Langone Health.
