Biography
Dr. Stephanie Atthill has worked at Georgian College since 2016 and has been a Registered Nurse (RN) since 2007. Currently, she is a professor within the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) program at Georgian College.
Her areas of nursing expertise include adult medical/surgical nursing and post-partum care. She completed her PhD in nursing education from Western University in 2015. Her dissertation research focused on nursing informatics competency development within undergraduate nursing curriculum.
Stephanie has presented at conferences and engages in research on topics related to nursing curriculum, informatics, simulation pedagogy and cultural humility.
My favourite part of being a nurse educator is interacting with students and seeing them grow as they progress through their program. I also love having the opportunity to help shape the future nursing profession that will have an impact on patients, families and the health-care profession. Through research, I also have the opportunity to contribute to the unique body of nursing knowledge that supports our profession.
