Kendra Belvins, MSN, RN, CPN
CF Nurse Navigator

How many years have you worked with CF patients?
I have worked with CF Patients for 3 years. I started on LCH 10 before transitioning to the clinic in June 2019.

What brought you to the field of CF?
In nursing school, we get very little education on the diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis. When I took the job on the 10th floor of Levine Children's Hospital I began caring for kiddos with CF regularly. I started learning more and more about the diagnosis of CF. I also began to meet more children with this diagnosis and heard about their individual stories and the battles they face. I admire the bravery, perseverance and fight each child shows. This quickly became one of my passions in nursing.

Where did you grow up?
I grew up in a little mountain town called Lansing, North Carolina. It is in the northwest corner of the state in Ashe County. It is about 30 minutes from Boone.

Where did you receive your education?
Most recently, I completed my Masters of Science in Nursing with a focus in Nursing Education at Appalachian State University.
