Hello. My name is Christin Schneider. I have lived in Cincinnati since attending nursing school at the Christ Hospital School of Nursing in 1989. I graduated in 1991 and continued my role in nursing in areas such as medical-surgical, kidney transplant, research study manager, home health care, endoscopy, OR nursing and currently interventional radiology.
Memories of growing up include great times with my younger brother, older sister, and my parents. We lived on a farm. We grew tobacco and managed two exceptionally large gardens; we grew a lot of our own food and canned many things. We had a strong, hardworking family, which I feel helped me develop into the person I am today.
I always had a love of animals and wanted to help them if they were hurt. My intention was to become a veterinarian. I volunteered at a veterinarian’s office for several years throughout high school. I changed my major to nursing after my mother passed away suddenly in between my junior and senior year of high school. Immediately after graduating from high school, I became a personal care assistant and began nursing school that fall.
Prior to coming to Cincinnati Children’s, I was an endoscopy nurse. I scrubbed (assisted the MD) and circulated (provided patient care and administered conscious sedation) with pulmonary and gastrointestinal services for 12 years. I went back to get my Bachelor of Science in nursing and decided I would really enjoy working with children. I worked at Christ Hospital for 23 years. After receiving my degree, I was incredibly lucky to begin working at Cincinnati Children’s. I worked in the operating room for almost 1O years, and now I am beginning my path with interventional radiology. Over the years I have worked with this group and gotten to know them well. I feel blessed to work with such an excellent group and still be able to see my OR friends as well.
My hobbies include walking, running, and reading. I enjoy visiting my youngest daughter, who is in the College of Neuroscience at Wright State University, and going to soccer games with my graduate student at the College of Mount St. Joseph, where she is furthering her nursing education. I enjoy watching sports with my husband and daughters and playing with our two cats.
I am getting ready to read a book suggested to me, The Women, and the last movie that went to the theater to see was American Sniper.
Cincinnati Children’s has been very good for me, and I am very excited to continue my new role as the clinical manager for lnterventional Radiology.
