Nurses Are The Trusted Profession - Dr. Jennifer Billingsley, Dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at United States University

What this episode covers

Early positive experiences working with seniors in assisted living and a very troubling health care experience with a family member combined to drive Dr. Jennifer Billingsley into medicine, and nursing in particular. After working as a nurse practitioner and becoming an administrator and academic, she’s assumed the role of Dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at United States University in San Diego. In this episode of Raise the Line, Dr. Billingsley joins host Jannah Amiel to discuss why she has dedicated her career to providing quality education to the next generation of nurses, and the important place nurses occupy as role models. She also describes with pride how her program responded to COVID, offering virtual clinical options and partnering with organizations such as the American Advanced Practice Network to develop more clinical sites and telemedicine options for students.
