Biography
I have 30 years’ experience as a registered nurse and educator with a strong commitment to quality and excellence in teaching and learning in healthcare, clinical practice, and higher education, with the aim of improving standards of care. I have experience of working with learners across a broad range of programmes and prioritising a sound learning environment in the classroom for student nurses. Currently my personal development focuses on research and completing my PhD. My experience in researching encompasses: flipped classroom, Rubric formulation/use, module assessment, skype use in tutorial support and academic tutorial support use. The focal point of my PhD is the experiences of British born black Caribbean female nurses occupational identity. Diversity in nursing is an international phenomenon and my research in this area has been of benefit to my department, my own development, and ultimately in the future student nurses of diverse ethnicities and ultimately patient care.
