Nursing News 2025
We celebrate the retirement of Dr. Cherry Guinn, EdD, RN who has faithfully been faculty in the School of Nursing since 1984. Dr. Guinn joined the faculty as a Pediatric and Obstetrics instructor. Her research using the Lasater Clinical Judgement Rubric for nursing education evaluating and assessing clinical judgment in simulation scenarios and other clinical experiences has been foundational for our faculty. The tool scores and assesses a student's performance in four phases, providing a clear and objective measure of clinical judgment skills. Dr. Guinn has presented her findings at international conferences as well as publishing findings in peer reviewed journals. Always with a smile and kind word, we will remember the impact she had on all with whom she came in contact. Enjoy your retirement, Cherry. It is well deserved!
