Dr. Pugh is an associate professor and director of the baccalaureate program at the School of Nursing. She teaches and conducts research on issues related to childbearing and breastfeeding support for women.
Dr. Sharps is an associate professor and director of the school’s master’s program. She teaches and conducts research on intimate partner violence and its effect on women’s physical and mental health, pregnancy outcomes, and infant mortality.
“We are proud to have these expert nurses on our faculty,” says Martha N. Hill, PhD, RN, FAAN, dean of the School of Nursing. “To be named a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing is a prestigious and well-deserved honor for both of them.”
