Teaching Focus

Throughout my career it has been a privilege to serve in roles that supported nursing students in attaining their career objectives. My philosophy of teaching is strongly linked to my philosophy of nursing as a caring profession, built on the discipline’s foundation supported by the sciences and the humanities. My teaching methods focus on synthesis of knowledge over a student’s career trajectory.

Previous Roles

Prior to joining the faculty at PNW, Davis held faculty, dean and director roles at nursing programs in the Chicagoland area. Additionally, she has experience in healthcare financial management compliance and ran her own consulting business.
