: As a Catholic and native Kansan, I chose to complete my BA degree in Psychology at Kansas Newman College after graduating from St Francis Hospital School of Nursing diploma program. After approximately two years as a pediatric and obstetric nurse, I was offered a teaching position at St Francis Hospital School of Nursing. That position afforded me the opportunity to complete an Masters in Education and Nursing. Educating future nurses is a privilege and rewarding career that I have enjoyed for over forty years!
