My name is Terry Gesulga MSN,
RN, CNS, PNP (guess-soul-gah) - I am half Filipino, Native American Indian
(Tlingit- Alaskan), Spanish & Chinese. My family lives just
outside San Francisco in Marin County – near the Golden Gate Bridge.
I have been an RN for 36 years:
Medsurg , ICU/SICU, Pediatrics, Director of RN Programs, RN
educator-mostly with training as a cardiopulmonary clinical specialist (1984)
and a pediatric nurse practitioner (2001).
I just retired from being a Director of Nursing (again) and from being
the Interim Dean of Health Sciences at College of Marin (community college)
supervising RN, Dental Assisting, EMT, Medical Assisting programs. I still teach Pediatric nursing part-time as
needed and I look forward to retiring to focus on our home and family
more. As I back off in teaching and
taking care of children in the hospital, I truly enjoyed caring for the
children and adults of Vietnam via COPI Missions.
I care for each person as if they were my family by being compassionate,
quick, efficient, and painless as possible.
This will be our fourth trip with the group. My husband, George Harris, will not join us
again, and we have a son, Brian in college (23yo). Our daughter, Maya is excited to be going on
the mission again. Maya (15.5 yo), was adopted at 6 months old from Good
Shepherd Orphanage in Saigon in 1999 with Co Binh's help and blessings. She is the inspiration and motivation for
being a team member. She wants to help
and she wants to be connected with the Vietnamese people.
