Faculty and Staff
At the Annenberg School of Nursing (ASN), we believe good teachers know more than just the subject matter. They also know their students, how they learn, and effective ways to teach them.
Smart students take the time to get acquainted with their instructors. If they do, they will discover that ASN’s instructors share a number of traits. All are experienced professionals with strong academic backgrounds and advanced degrees. As a team, the faculty has been approved by the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT).
