As a first-generation college student, Mrs. Whiteacre values life-long learning and is passionate about providing her students with the skills, experience and knowledge necessary to be successful in the nursing profession. Mrs. Whiteacre enhances her learning and teaching style with rich bedside experiences from the military, acute, critical and pre-hospital patient care. Mrs. Whiteacre’s research interests include nursing education, critical care, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma in the health care setting. Mrs. Whiteacre aligns her teaching philosophy with the Jesuit value Magis, meaning more in Latin, “which originates with St. Ignatius’ calling to act in the world and to strive towards excellence by using one’s gifts.” Mrs. Whiteacre believes students should "ask all the questions," always pursue life-long learning and strive for excellence in all things.
