Specializes in Gerontological, cardiac, med-surg, peds.

From the Carnegie Foundation's Study of Nursing Education:

Excellent teachers:

  • have a clear vision of what kind of nurse they would like to graduate
  • place their students in a collaborative nursing role
  • ask students to answer questions about what is at stake for the patient, what the patient is experiencing, and what the next step is for the patient
  • highlight what is salient about a case or a situation and what is an appropriate response
  • seamlessly integrate the three apprenticeships to teach how to be a nurse in terms of ethical comportment, knowledge of the humanities, sciences, and social sciences, and practice skills
  • engage in dialogue with students to explore the student's thinking
