Teaching Philosophy

I want to provide an interdisciplinary and culturally sensitive learning environment for students to have a safe learning space.

 

Courses I Teach

  • NURS 2100 - Human Growth and Development
    This course focuses on application of growth and development concepts to health promotion and care giving.
  • NURS 4150 - Nursing Initiatives: Spring 2022
    This course provides the baccalaureate student an opportunity to synthesize knowledge gained from the entire program of study. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of concepts associated with healthcare policies within an institution, organization, or government entity. Upon completion the student will design and implement a durable project from within the discipline of nursing which satisfies an identified need within the student’s area of interest.
  • NURS 4512-001 - Population-Based Care
    This course applies concepts of population health to the care of individuals and communities that nurses encounter in a variety of settings at the local, national, and global level. The nursing role in population management includes health promotion, wellness, chronic disease management and care transitions applied to mental and physical health. Principles of diversity, equity, inclusivity and ethical practice are emphasized.
