Personal Note:

Barb's passion is nursing and nursing education. It is essential that nursing students understand the importance of the role that the nurse plays in healthcare today. More important, the nurse must be caring and compassionate with those in his/her trust. Christian higher education provides a wonderful opportunity to explore holistic nursing practice and education.
