I love educating our future nurses on working with those who suffer from mental illness. No matter where a nurse works, at one point in their nursing career they will work with someone who struggles with a mental illness.

As a nurse educator, you have the ability to role model and shape the future Nurses, but also the future of nursing! The variability is great. Working with students you reach a wider net than just a few patients, participate in leadership, and you still have the ability to practice as you like.

I have supported expectations for each student that extend beyond the grade received for my course. I challenge students to be able to explain to patients and families care and reasoning that connects pathophysiology to assessments and interventions.
