Juris Doctor-- otherwise known as law degree.

If they took their bar exam (and passed), they're an attorney.

If she is a caring person who loves to teach, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to learn from her!

Good luck to you.

How fortunate you are to have an instructor with these credentials!! I wish I had!

Your entire nursing program benefits from her expertise I'm sure...particularly in this day and age. :)

Are you talking about Dr. Mann? She has a law degree; she is a nurse midwife and a great instructor. She can explain a lot of the history about midwives and how they were viewed in the past. A great educator!

Maybe she's not who you're talking about.. but I think you go to SJSU?!?

You are correct! It was back to school today. Spring semester finally started, hopefully my last "free semester" before nursing classes.

I guess you're out of luck if you try to challenge her on those test questions you missed :chuckle
