Biography
I have enjoyed my academic tenure for 29+ years and in the process gained a Ph.D. in Emergency NurseTriage Education. Many students have discussed with me the value that they place on my strong commitment to maintaining clinical currency and expertise, especially in Emergency Nursing. I believe that this is a particularly important aspect that enriches and validates my teaching and acknowledges the fact that my students attend clinical placements in challenging dynamic health environments. In addition to that nursing practices continue to evolve and change under the guidance of Best Practice development. My specific clinical and research expertise is in emergency nursing however, I also teach and supervise student research in the critical care areas.
I have a very open and engaging teaching style. I promote openness by being willing and ready to receive student impressions or ideas on the subject content that we are discussing. Students are engaged in their learning by being encouraged to participate in classwork in a way that is active and energetic so that they are involved and interested in what is being taught. I generally find that this assists my students to develop self-confidence and motivation when they pursue their learning opportunities.
I have supervised several Bachelor of Nursing (Hons), Master of Research (MRes) and Ph.D. students to the completion of their thesis. I have recent research expertise in conducting Systematic Reviews and Qualitative Research. However, I have a particular interest in Quantitative Research and Mixed Methods studies.
For the last 5 years, I have enjoyed developing my skills in academic leadership and governance for the School of Nursing & Midwifery. I am currently the Deputy Dean, Academic. I am primarily focused on promoting innovative undergraduate and postgraduate curricula and Higher Degree Research development.
