Episode Synopsis

In higher education, we rarely have the chance to stop, take a year, and thoughtfully redesign entire programs. But that’s just what the faculty of Antioch University’s newly founded Graduate School of Nursing and Health Professions have been doing this last year: taking the highly regarded programs previously offered through our partner, Otterbein University, and working to bring them to a nationwide audience through Antioch’s five campuses. In this episode, we talk with Regina Prusinski, Antioch’s founding Director of Nursing Programs, about why nursing is a fulfilling career, how she’s reworking the curriculum to emphasize Antioch’s focus on adult learners and social justice, why nurse practitioners will be in high demand over the next decade, and how this training prepares future nurse practitioners to be transformative agents of health justice in their communities.– – –Visit Antioch’s website to learn more about the Nursing Programs that Regina directs and the MS in Nursing: Family Nurse Practitioner that she chairs.
