providers.
Reach your goals at your convenience
This program is designed for working adults as classes meet once a week. Many students
work full-time as registered nurses while in school.
Practice nursing with a holistic perspective
Consistent with CBU's faith-based mission, the post master's curriculum emphasizes
a holistic perspective. Specially selected practicum opportunities allow candidates
the option to practice in a variety of healthcare settings, while serving individuals,
families and communities. Practicum hours are completed under the instruction and
supervision of CBU's College of Nursing faculty who share the faith-based mission
and holistic perspective for providing nursing care.
Train in state-of-the-art facilities
For additional experiential learning, students also enjoy access to CBU's state-of-the-art
Clinical Simulation Lab and Resource Center.
Students focus on effective organizational communication, relationship management, and shared decision-making, which includes the community, interdisciplinary team, and academic partnerships, from a biblical perspective.
Students explore cultural nursing theories and worldviews that impact healthcare organizations from a biblical perspective. Methods to overcome institutional racism and improve interprofessional collaboration to transform systems and create quality outcomes will be explored.
Students develop an understanding of neuroscience and pharmacotherapeutics for patients with mental health conditions. Emphasis is on establishing a foundation for decision-making necessary for initiating, monitoring, and modifying pharmacological treatment plans for mental health conditions.

When I was 10 years old I was in the hospital for surgery. The nurses were awesome and I knew at that time I wanted to be a nurse and help others. I have been a nurse for 28 years and a pediatric nurse practitioner for 23 years. As a nurse, I have the privilege of being with people at their most joyous time and their darkest, and in all circumstances, I share the love of God with them. My husband and I live on 5 acres in Temecula wine country where we have four dogs, two horses, and a cat. This keeps us very busy!
I have been honored to be a nurse for over 30 years. I was a PICU/CVICU nurse for over 20 years, where I was a member of the ECMO team, a member of the transport team, a charge nurse and a manager. I love to teach, mentor and disciple students; serve those who are weak and vulnerable; share the love of Jesus with the lost; and volunteer in the community.
I am a practicing APRN with experience as a nurse practitioner and educator. After graduating with an MSN degree from California Baptist University in 2013, I pursued several certifications, including family nurse practitioner, acute care nurse practitioner and emergency nurse practitioner, among others. I have worked in family practice internal medicine, the emergency department and I currently work as a neurology nurse practitioner specialist with stroke services.
