Introduction:
My name is Molly Engstrom, and I am an Assistant Professor of Nursing here at Vincennes University. I began my role as Assistant Professor in August of 2024. I have gained experience teaching lecture, lab, and clinical in the LPN and ASN programs. I currently serve as a PRN nurse at Daviess Community Hospital, where I have over six years of critical care experience. In addition to my clinical work, I am pursuing a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) through Western Governor's University online.
Teaching Philosophy/Approach:
A dedicated educator, I am passionate about nurturing the next generation of nurses. I believe in the power of lifelong learning, both in my nursing practice and in the classroom. I try to foster an environment of trust with my students, guiding them with honesty, sincerity, and patience. These values help build strong, supportive relationships, enabling students to thrive in both clinical and academic settings.
Special Certifications:
I am certified in Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support.
Personal Interests:
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, photography, and traveling to Washington Island, Wisconsin where I spend much of the summer with my family.
