I have 40 years of experience and specialize in the field of nursing education with specific knowledge in the areas of curriculum development, curriculum evaluation and student services. I have published on such topics as nursing students and the law, quality nursing programs and accreditation of nursing programs. I have testified on nursing program admission standards, graduation standards and nursing licensure requirements. I have served as dean of nursing at three different schools and have implemented at least three new nursing programs based on national standards.
