Warner Pacific has named Dr. Linda Campbell, Ph.D., RN, CNS, CNE as Dean of the newly launched Warner Pacific Nursing Program.
Dr. Campbell’s engagement in scholarship and service illustrates her commitment to building excellent programs to serve students and the communities for which they will ultimately care. In addition to her academic posts, Campbell has been the Principal of “Moving Mountains,” a Christian private nursing practice; and Health, Education, and Leadership Services (HEALS).
“The Warner Pacific Nursing Advisory Council and I share a vision of higher education for nursing: one that is Christ-centered and grounded in the liberal arts to convey reverence for recipients of care, increase diversity in the nursing workforce, and respond to a national nursing shortage,” says Dr. Campbell. “I am thrilled to have an opportunity to serve higher education for nursing in a manner that is responsive, wholehearted, and mindful of a shared purpose: to bring glory to God and make Him known in the world.”
Prior to coming to Warner Pacific, Dr. Campbell served the Loretto Heights School of Nursing (LHSON) in the Rueckert-Hartman College for Health Professions at Regis University in Denver, Colorado, for thirteen years. Most recently, she was the Director of Accelerated Nursing and Clinical Learning Unit at LHSON. In that role, she also served on several campus-wide committees related to curriculum, accreditation, student affairs, research, academic council, and the president’s advisory council.
Linda Campbell holds a Ph.D. in Nursing and M.S. in Community Health Nursing with a focus in Nursing Administration from the University of Colorado, Denver; and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Arizona State University, Tempe.
