Jackie Tobler, RN

Meet Jackie Tobler. Jackie teaches the following classes for Cultivating Caregivers:

  • Certified Nursing Assistant

  • Home Health Aide

     Jackie began her career in healthcare in 1984 when she started working at her local community nursing home in the kitchen then later becoming a CNA. Jackie ​continued up the ladder becoming a Certified Medication Aide, Licensed Practical Nurse and Registered Nurse. 

     Jackie has been working as a Registered Nurse since 1991. She has held many positions in Long-Term Care and Acute Care Nursing. This experience makes her a versatile instructor.

     She chose teaching because she loves sharing her stories with others and making a difference in how people see the care of older adults. How the art of nursing makes such an impact in the lives of people who can no longer do things independently for themselves physically or mentally. 

     Jackie is a loving mother of a blended family of 5. She and her husband love the outdoors and working in their garden. She was a caregiver to both of her parents and aunt. During her career she has held administrative positions in long-term care along with various consulting and teaching roles on a facility, state and government level. Currently Jackie works in a hospital setting as a manager of a pain management department. 

"Developing and growing with Cultivating Caregivers has been a great experience and the ability to teach at Leonardville and Meadowlark has been terrific". - Jackie Tobler
