Associate Professor at UNM College of Nursing - Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
We don't just educate nurses. We change the entire field of nursing. Educate inquisitive professionals who improve patient care. Nurse scientists who find better ways of doing things. Smarter methods of serving the people of our state. Our nurses and nursing students benefit greatly from studying within a Carnegie-ranked R1 research university. They become scholars, and enhance the practice of nursing through a wide range of research efforts. Like developing new understanding of health among vulnerable populations. And addressing health equity as it relates to rural health, chronic illness, women and children's health and health policy issues. At The University of New Mexico, we educate carefully selected, diverse nursing students to become primary care practitioners, nursing professors, nurse leaders. The possibilities for our graduates are endless. As are the many ways they improve the lives of New Mexicans everywhere.
