I am a second generation nurse educator, and can't remember ever wanting to be anything else. I have spent most of my career working with pre-licensure students, and considering how to best prepare them for the important work of nursing. I am always looking for better ways to nurse, and to educate. I don't think we have designed the perfect nursing education system yet, and I am very interested in exploring innovative models that help students find their passion in nursing, and develop the skills needed to pursue it.My clinical background is in community health and gerontologic nursing, and I am a certified gerontologic nurse practitioner. I was the project director on two HRSA-funded projects that provided undergraduate nursing students with education and clinical experience in community-based primary care nursing. Our project team worked with senior nursing students and nurses in primary care settings to advance a patient-centered model of care that maximized the knowledge and skills of nurses.
