Instructor Information

Janine Porter

I have lived in Utah all my life.  I grew up in Farr West and South Ogden.  Since I was a little girl I wanted to be a nurse.  I researched it all growing up.  When I was in High School, I took the CNA program at Weber State University.  It was so long a go, they didn't offer it in high school.  I worked at a Long-term Facility during my senior year.  I got into the nursing program after high school and did my generals and the nursing program at the same time!  It was a super duper crazy few years.  

I have always wanted to work with babies. After high school, I got a job at the hospital and worked as a CNA on the Medical/Surgical floor.  After I graduated with my Registered Nurse degree I moved to Postpartum (taking care of moms after they have babies).  It was so much fun.  But, I wanted more.  I switched to the NICU (Newborn Intensive Care Unit) and worked there for 10 years.  

In the mean time, I got married to my high school sweetheart and started having kids.  I have 3 boys. These boys started growing up and having activities in the evenings and I was missing them.  I love watching my boys do anything and everything.  I cried all the way to my car the day I quit the NICU.  I changed jobs and started doing Home Care for a diabetic management team.  I did that for 3 years before I started working for Davis School District as a Clinical Instructor.  I fell in love with high school students!  It was in 2012 that Syracuse High started a CNA program and I have been here since.  I love my job!  I love these students and I love even more watching them grow up and becoming who they have always dreamed of becoming!
