Tell us a bit about what you do here at UNMC.
I am a nursing instructor on the Western Nebraska Division campus in Scottsbluff.
Being a trusted resource is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed a person or group act as a trusted resource at UNMC.
Our nursing curriculum requires intensive teamwork and communication amongst all team members. I consider my coworkers (nursing instructors and staff) to be a trusted resource on a daily basis as we engage in effective partnerships and communication in order to advocate for student learning. We must trust each other to be accountable for the completion of delegated responsibilities to ensure consistent and effective teamwork.
