Dee Martinez

As part of the alumni of Loretto Heights, Dee Martinez deeply values the privilege of teaching at Regis and working with young minds who are passionate about learning. Jesuit Values are woven into everything we do. Magis pushes us to do more and go the extra step with students and each other. The role of Nursing faculty clarifies the path for students to find “how ought we live” as nurses in a challenging health care system in our world. Nursing faculty play an important role for students who rely on our direction and support. Nursing faculty work to clarify how nursing work epitomizes the meaning of the Jesuit values through nursing care of clients dealing with health challenges throughout their lives in every setting. Nursing faculty address the body, mind, and spirit of each person and remind students to advocate for populations that currently experience disparities in health outcomes in our society. Nursing faculty not only think about the social problems in our world, but take action and strengthen our spiritual guide in our nursing role. Faculty work to pave the path for students to become strong advocates and to be able to serve populations in our communities. We not only think about these societal challenges, but assist students in taking action as they become nurses. Nursing faculty model Jesuit values with all of our work as faculty and demonstrate this model of nursing for students to become Regis nurse leaders who can take their learning to impact change and improve health outcomes for a greater population as Regis nurses.
