Innovating Transition to Practice
My approach to nursing education is rooted in a no-nonsense philosophy and a deep conviction about the unique learning needs of digital natives.
As a former nurse resident who has transitioned into an independent practitioner, I have first-hand experience of the challenges faced by new nurses, especially in mastering critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills.
But I am also acutely aware of the impact of technology, learning preferences, and how the digital landscape affects our nursing education today - which is what I have dedicated my career to.
