Faculty Kudos

Assistant Professor Jennie Peterson received the 2025 Academic Faculty Award at the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists annual conference last week in Boston, MA 3/10/25 to 3/13/25. The award is to nationally recognize an NACNS member for outstanding professional achievement as a clinical nurse specialist (CNS) academic faculty. The award acknowledges a CNS academic faculty member’s commitment to excellence and innovation in preparing student CNSs and in implementing educational standards described in the NACNS Statement on CNS Practice and Education.

Dr. Peterson also reports that Alainna Crotty, a DNP program instructor and DNP alumnus, was inducted as a fellow in the Clinical Nurse Specialist Institute. Dr. Crotty is currently on active duty in the U.S. Navy as a CNS, stationed at the Naval Medical Center, Camp Lejeune, NC.

Congratulations to both!
