Greeting to the Student:
Hello, I want to give you the best educational experience possible. My goal for you is that you become a critical thinker who demonstrates problem-solving skills that result in safe & effective patient care. After all, we are the gatekeepers for the patients. You may not want to be a mental health nurse but, you have to take this class to get where you want. We want you to succeed!

Teaching Philosophy:
Teaching is not just talking. Everyone has something to teach and everyone has something to learn. Love who you teach and what you teach. Your love for your profession is contagious.

RNSG 2161: A-Notes, Process Recordings, Teaching Project & Community Observation
