Amy Delaney was born and grew up on the south shore of the Boston area. She received her Bachelors of Science in Nursing at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. in 1992, and practiced as a pediatric intensive care nurse in the Greater D.C. area. After completing her Masters of Science in nursing at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. in 1996, she relocated back to the Boston area. Since then, she has practiced as a pediatric nurse practitioner at Children’s Hospital in Boston in the cardiovascular program. Throughout her advanced nursing practice career, she has also practiced in private practices in the Greater Boston area, and in the pediatric emergency room setting.
Amy is board certified as both an acute care and primary care pediatric nurse practitioner. She has lectured nationally on pediatric cardiology topics, and has lectured to local colleges and universities within their nursing programs on pediatric topics. She enjoyed a clinical instructor position at Boson College, and has great interest in mentoring nurses and nurse practitioners within the profession.
Amy joined Hyde Park Pediatrics in November 2008 on a temporary basis, and now is thrilled to be seeing patients and families within her own community more permanently, as of September 2009. When not working as a PNP, Amy has a passion for legislation and politics, as she has worked on lobbying in the past and has been active in local, state, and federal elections. She is active within local community groups, enjoys running, and spending time with her family. Amy resides in Milton, MA with her husband Jim, and 3 children, Jack, Kate, and James.

Personal Statement
If ever there was a perfect career that has been made for me, it is practicing as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I have always loved the balance that I have held practicing as a teacher, a clinician, a counselor, and a professional who is involved in making policy changes to help improve the lives of those I care for, and those living within my community. By having the experience of raising three wonderful children, I have even further passion and appreciation of the challenges and joys of parenthood. Pairing this with the experiences of practicing in many clinical settings, I am very much looking forward to a new chapter in my professional life, by joining the provider staff of Hyde Park Pediatrics. |
