Meet The Team
Cheri Johnson
Cheri started Arizona PRN in the Spring of 2008. Having spent years working for others and being involved in several successful startup agencies, she felt it was time to venture out on her own. A graduate from the Eller College of Management, at the University of Arizona, she has a keen business sense and thrives on helping others to find their dream assignments. She enjoys working with travel contracts, and previously worked with International Nurses to help meet the heavy demands in the states. This is an area of nursing she plans to expand back into in the near future. She recently rebranded, changing the company name to “Altra,” which is Irish for nurse. She has two children, who are both enjoying successful careers of their own. Outside of work she enjoys traveling, scuba diving, casinos and spending time with family and friends.
