JULI IS A CLINICAL INSTRUCTOR FOR OUR MED-SURG AND FUNDAMENTALS COURSES. JULI WAS NOMINATED BY HER CLINICAL STUDENTS FROM BOTH COURSES. OF PARTICULAR NOTE IS HER OBVIOUS, GENUINE CONCERN FOR HER STUDENTS’ SUCCESS. THEY NOTED HER COMPASSION, PATIENCE, AND ENCOURAGEMENT, AND THE IMPACT THESE QUALITIES HAVE HAD ON THEIR LEARNING EXPERIENCES. JULI MAKES HER CLINICALS A LIVELY ENVIRONMENT, FULL OF MEANINGFUL TASKS, BECAUSE SHE WANTS STUDENTS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THEIR TIME WITH HER. STUDENTS SAID THAT JULI RESPECTS THEM, IS APPROACHABLE, AND TAKES A GENUINE INTEREST IN WHAT HER STUDENTS WANT TO DO AS NURSES. in attached photo: left, Dean Janet Brown, right, Juli Verkler.
