Name: Laura Liebner, DNP, MSN, RN, CNE Title: Nursing Instructor, Snead State Community College I am in my 7th year as full-time nursing faculty at Snead State Community College (SSCC). I began my nursing career in emergency/trauma, but the majority of my bedside experience is in pediatrics and peri-operative nursing. I obtained my Master?s degree in nursing from the University of North Alabama and my doctorate of nursing practice from Regis College. I have continued to engage in scholarship throughout my career, and am published in the AORN (Association of periOperative Registered Nurses) Journal, and have presented education and research posters for other educators at several conferences. I am also a Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) through the National League for Nursing. I am a 2024 Alabama Community College System Chancellor?s Award recipient. As a nurse educator, I am most proud of the PASS program that I have developed at SSCC. The PASS, or Pathway for Achieving Student Success, is an efficacious student success program for the nursing department, and I have served the role of student success coach and coordinator of this program for 6 years. The program is designed to identify students who are struggling, equip all students with the tools they need to be successful in the program, and to increase retention in the nursing program. As an educator, I aspire to create student-centered learning environments in which the student is empowered and equipped with the tools necessary to accomplish their own learning. I use flipped classroom teaching methodologies with case studies, mini-simulations, and a variety of learning activities to engage students in learning. In addition to my role as student success coach, I am also currently a nursing instructor and teach fundamentals, medical-surgical nursing, community nursing, and pediatrics. I provide instruction in the classroom, skills lab, and clinical settings. I also enjoy engaging with students through service learning in our local community. I began an annual two-day course that our third-semester students lead in order to teach basic pediatric safety and health for local middle and high school students, called ?Camp Snead: The Babysitter?s Club.? I also lead groups of students in serving in the Etowah Free Community Clinic, as well as serving in a first aid capacity for various events for the local hospice center, and have facilitated two extracurricular nursing student organizations for students at SSCC.
