Linda Aaronson, Ed. D., Npc associate Professor of Nursing Nursing Program Coordinator

Eight years of traveling to and from Rutgers University culminated in my Doctoral Degree.  Curriculum development was my focus and my doctoral dissertation analyzed the difference in those RN's who return to college for the bachelor's degree and those who do not.  2009 represents my 28th year at Richard Stockton College and I have taught in all three programs, RN-BSN, undergraduate and graduate.

 

Nancy Davis, Ph.D.

I graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida where I majored in Biology and Theater Art. I then earned a PhD at the University of Pennsylvania in Pathology. During this time I had an NIH grant administered through the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens where I did research and postmortems on all types of animals. My doctorial research was on the relationship of psychosocial stimuli and Cancer in mice. I continue to be interested in the relationship of psychosocial stimuli and the immune system. 

Presently I am a Councilwoman for the Borough of Beach Haven. I recently attended The National Foundation of Woman Legislators conference in Des Moines, Iowa.

I started teaching at Stockton in 1973. In the 1980s I served as the Chairperson of the Professional Studies Division for three years. In the area of general education, I am particularly interested in International Studies. I think all students and faculty should have international experience. I take a group of students to Latin America each year; we visited Ecuador last spring. This is a rewarding experience for both the students and myself. 

I have a husband and two sons. My oldest son worked for Arnold Schwarzenegger in California and Davis Cameron and the Tory Party in London. My younger son works for a member of European Parliament in Brussels and will be starting a job with JP Morgan in October. My husband is retired from GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals in Philadelphia. I like to travel, sail, bike and read among other things.

 I began my nursing career working on a general medical/surgical floor following graduation from Atlantic Community College in 1978. After experiencing the birth of my first child, I felt compelled to work in maternal child health and for the next several years held postions as a staff nurse in nursery, postpartum and labor and delivery. I eventually decided to return for a professional nursing degree and received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with Program Distinction from Stockton in 1995. I believe I received the best preparation for an advanced degree in Nursing from completeing my degree at Stockton. I continued my nursing education and obtained a Master of Science in Nursing and a certificate in Midwifery from the University of Pennsylvania in 1999.

I am a lifelong student, beginning with my Associate Degree in Nursing at Gwynedd-Mercy College in Pennsylvania in the 70"s. I returned in the 80"s to complete a BSN and in the 90"s obtained a Masters degree from LaSalle University in Philadelphia, Pa. In the millenium a Post-Master's certificate in education was earned from LaSalle. There are many years of clinical and administrative experience in geriatric nursing, home care nursing and public health nursing in my career. I have worked on grants supporting positive youth development, parenting education, environmental health and men's urban health. My current research interest is competency in public health nurse education. In my spare time I enjoy the beach and spending time with family and friends.
