Being Successful in Nursing School Podcast​

…challenges facing nursing education and the nursing profession parallel what we are seeing in Career and Technical Education and workforce education

I am excited to share with you a recent podcast interview that I found very insightful. In the podcast “How To Be Successful Through Nursing School“, Kimberly Dunker, a fourth-generation nurse who has earned her  Doctor of Nursing Practice, CNE, CNECL and Dean of Nursing at Pacific Union College, shares her thoughts on the nature of today’s nursing education, how it has been affected by the pandemic, and the impact the pandemic has had on the nursing workforce. I am particularly proud of Kimberly’s accomplishments and dedication to the nursing profession, especially since she also happens to be my niece.

Kimberly’s expertise in nursing education and her experience in the field provide valuable insights into the current state of nursing education. Her comments on the challenges facing nursing education and the nursing profession parallel what we are seeing in Career and Technical Education and workforce education in many other industries. As technology and industry evolve, there is a need to provide education that is relevant to current and future job market needs. This requires collaboration between educational institutions, industry leaders, and policymakers to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge for successful careers.

During the podcast, Kimberly speaks about how the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to the nursing education landscape. She shares how instructors and students have had to adapt to new online and hybrid models of learning and explains about the benefits and challenges that have resulted from those models.

Kimberly’s work in nursing education is a testament to the importance of collaboration between educational institutions, industry leaders, and policymakers, and the impact it can have on the nursing profession. I highly recommend listening to the podcast which can be accessed on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/episode/59KFtfTvsHuKUHdv54eEwE or on Apple Podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nursedot-podcast/id1653164865?i=1000599009959.
