Professional Registered Nurse with a background in caring for geriatric, medical-surgical and community health patients. In 2003, I transitioned into academia where I have enjoyed leading and teaching future nurses. My philosophy of teaching is based on my beliefs that teaching and learning need to be a collaborative process, where both instructor and student engage in the learning process. My teaching depicts the teacher as the facilitator of the knowledge and the student as an active participant in learning and understanding the key concepts to build a solid foundation in the nursing field. The foundation laid in the educational process will directly impact the nurse they will become, and the care patients receive.
