Debra Shelestak, Ph.D., RN

I have been a nurse for almost 40 years. My clinical background is Intensive/Critical care and Medical Surgical Nursing. I have been teaching in nursing programs since 1986 and have taught in all types of programs and all levels, freshmen to graduate students. My doctoral work is in Evaluation and Measurement (statistics and research designs) and I consult with various medical centers, providing data analysis and interpretation. I am also interested in how simulation can enhance critical thinking and clinical judgment in pre-licensure nursing students.
