Carrie Ann Hall, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Nursing
BSN Program Director
The role of the nurse faculty is to facilitate a rich learning environment that assists future nurses in the development of the skills and knowledge necessary to care for individuals, family, and communities. My teaching philosophy is guided by Benner’s (1984) Novice to Expert Theory and the Transformative Learning Theory (Mezirow, 1999). The combination of these theories recognize the importance of skill mastery combined with the ability to appreciate world beliefs beyond one’s personal experiences.

Lifestyle and behavioral interventions to reduce symptom burden in geriatric oncology patients - A significant early focus of my research was to evaluate the relationship of cognitive function and physical and cognitive activities. Based on these findings, I plan to build a program of study to identify and validate interventions individualized for older cancer survivors.
