Teaching

Courses

Introduction to the concepts of evidence-based nursing practice, informatics, and technology. Connections between these concepts, related theory, the research process, and application to evidence-based practice and health care quality are explored. Building on the concepts of communication, culture and diversity, legal and ethical issues, and professional behaviors, this course fosters growth in student writing skills by integrating writing assignments with critical thinking skills. This course is based on the American Nurses Association (2015) Scope and Standards of Practice. The AACN Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice were used to build this course.

Exploration of concepts related to the transition to professional nursing and the exemplars that influence the profession of nursing and the health care delivery system.

Dr. Kristopher Jackson, PhD, MPH, MSN, AGACNP-BC, FAANP joined the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth College of Nursing & Health Sciences following his postdoctoral training at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Center for AIDS Prevention Studies. With over a decade of experience as an acute care nurse practitioner, Dr. Jackson also leads a growing research program focused on HIV prevention, sexual health, and the provision of healthcare services to sexual and gender minority communities. His current projects examine the healthcare needs of marginalized LGBTQIA+ groups, including sex workers, and explores how societal expectations of masculinity, sexual behavior stigma, and other individual factors influence the adoption of HIV prevention methods (such as PrEP) and the use of substances in the context of commercial sexual encounters.
