Coming Soon

Secretary

Tina Gaudet, RN is the Secretary for the 2025 ASGNA board. I’ve been a member of the ASGNA board since 2015, and have had many different jobs within the board, including President and Treasurer. I’m glad to volunteer on the board.

I have been a nurse for over 20 years, specializing in GI for the last 19 years. GI is all that I ever wanted in nursing, from my first rotation, I was hooked. I have worked for Mayo Clinic for the last 18 years in the GI department. I have specialized in in Video Capsule Endoscopy, Self-Dilation, Esophageal Motility, Breath test, Anal Manometry, as well as the routine GI procedures.

Being an RN in the GI department, with the specialization in VCE, has given me the opportunity to speak at SGNA’s National conference several times.
