My clinical experience is mainly in the ER. I have over 10 years of experience as a RN in the ER and first worked on a neurology and neurosurgery when I graduated. I was always interested in teaching students and developed a love of clinical teaching. My MN focuses on learning in the adult acute care environment and how students link theory to practice. I have completed a further research project in SoTL as a Nexen Scholar at MRU during 2011 where I also looked at how 1st year students linked theory to practice. Over the years, I have developed an interest in how students learn critical thinking, both in how they read textbooks and in how they apply their new understanding in clinical practice.
