https://padlet.com/ptc33/a9pl5x6zy87d Welcome to NURS 738 Fall 2019 en-us 2019-09-08 18:33:06 UTC 2024-07-06 16:04:22 UTC hello@padlet.com ptc33 https://padlet.com/ptc33/a9pl5x6zy87d/wish/381365663 Greetings everyone and welcome to NURS 708: Analysis and Economics of Healthcare Systems and Delivery I live and teach from Asheville, North Carolina and have just recently joined the UNLV School of Nursing as a full-time geographically remote faculty member. Autumn is here in the Great Smokey Mountains and, the leaves are vibrant with the colors of fall - which are quite breathtaking and so very beautiful. I walk my dog, whose name is "Smoke", in the woods and enjoy the fresh air and all of the sights, sounds, and critters that are all a part of the local nature (currently turkeys, rabbits, mountain lions, and , of course, the bears say hello quite frequently [just be sure to wave to them at a distance!]).  I have been I have been quite involved in Analysis and Economics of Healthcare Systems and Delivery. In addition, I am also a forensic psychiatric nurse by trade and when I can, I volunteer my services. One example  includes this photo of a trip to Bolivia in 2011. Since I am a forensic practitioner, my role was to work with psychologists, prosecutors and judges regarding potential change in Bolivian national policy and practice regarding children exposed to sexual violence.  Here I am working with children in the school room of the Domestic Violence Shelter/compound where they were residing (located at over 12 thousand feet in the Andes mountain range!). I got to meet quite a few alpaca during that time and fell in love with eating quinoa  :-) I look forward to learning more about each of you here in the Introductions Padlet and to working with you throughout the Fall semester. I will "see" you in class  - - - Dr. C ]]> 2019-09-08 21:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ptc33/a9pl5x6zy87d/wish/381365663
