Our Team - Suture & More

'Beth Norwood was my first clinical preceptor in graduate school. Years later, I am still using the skills she taught me. Her knowledge and abilities as both a nurse practitioner and instructor are second to none.'

- Jessica, APRN

'As a fellow ER nurse practitioner, I have had the pleasure of working alongside Beth for several years now. Suturing is definitely one, among many, of her talents. It is one thing to primarily close a wound, but it takes talent to have an aesthetically pleasing end result. I have removed enough of her sutures to know she has a certain kind of special finesse with a needle and nylon or prolene or ethilon.
Aside from procedures, Beth's documentation is grade A. So much so that I might or might not have incorporated some of her verbiage in my own charts.'

- Coty, APRN

'Taking one of Beth's courses will increase your confidence and comfort level with performing multiple procedures. I work in an urgent care setting and trained under Beth several years ago. She is one of the best mentors I have ever had!'

- Katie, APRN

'Beth was my preceptor several years ago. I learned so much from her. She is an awesome teacher and teaches in a way that is easily interpreted and applied in clinic. She gave me lots of 'tricks' that I carried with me into practice. If you are lacking in these areas of your clinical skills, Beth is ideal to help you learn. And she is lots of fun, not stuffy like we sometimes run into. So excited she is offering this opportunity to help with these skills!'

- Sharon, APRN

'I have worked alongside Beth for several years in the emergency department. She is an excellent provider who has perfected countless tools of the trade to place her on a category of excellence when it comes to care in the ER. She is also a patient teacher and caring individual who is capable of taking providers to the highest level of skill sets to care for patients requiring procedures in our current fast paced healthcare environment.'

- Rachel, PA-C

'Beth was my preceptor during my FNP program. She has the heart of a teacher. Often times, I have encountered eminently brilliant people that did not have the skills to teach. Beth is that rare, special person who has a rich, varied background of knowledge and experience as well as teaching skills. Anyone can just simply show you how to do a particular procedure. Beth will teach you the how and why of techniques necessary to perform a procedure in a way everyone can connect with. She is most highly recommended.'

- Steve, APRN

'Beth is an amazing advanced practitioner She has experience and is an excellent teacher. I have enjoyed working with her professionally and her personality is an added bonus.'

- Dr. Barry, MD

Beth Norwood, MSN, FNP-C, ENP-C

Beth is the founder of Suture & More. She is a 2006 graduate of Vanderbilt University and has over 16 years experience in Emergency Medicine and Urgent care. Her love of suturing and procedures and her observation that suturing skills and procedures are often self-taught led Beth to develop a course to share her knowledge and experience with fellow practitioners.

When not facilitating conferences, Beth works at a local functional medicine practice, a local Emergency Department, and a local Med Spa.
