Personal Statement

I am an Assistant Professor of Nursing at Adelphi University in Garden City, and a Doctoral Student at Columbia University in New York in the DNSc Program. My passion is teaching, and I love every aspect of the nursing education process. I have an insatiable desire to teach my students the science of medicine and the art of nursing. I am constantly looking for innovative ways to transfer both my love of nursing and my technical and medical knowledge to students at all levels.

I have been a nurse for over 20 years and a Nurse Practitioner in Adult Health and Acute Care for the last twelve years, with a specialty in Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine, and have spent the last three years working in Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy.

My most recent national and international presentations include the results of work done in the area of transformative learning and translational research. I presented at the Sigma Theta Tau 16th International Nursing Research Congress in Hawaii in 2005 and Eastern Nursing Research Society in 2006 and 2007.

My most recent publication is in the Journal of Nursing Scholarship, and is a review of informed consent for clinical research. The third edition of my classic ECG book "Flip and See ECG", a primer on cardiac rhythms, is set to be released in the next few months.

My most recent workshops include; “Extreme Teaching: teaching so your students will never forget”, and a two one-act solos plays “How I Became a Difficult Patient” and “50 Ways to Love Your Liver” the second one is part of a series of lectures where I dress up like various organs of the body and present a day in the life of your liver, spleen, thyroid, adrenals and blood vessels.
