Field of work
I am a Registered Nurse (RN) with a PhD in Nursing Science and I have been teaching and supervising in nursing at bachelor's, master's, and PhD levels.
My research interests include home healthcare services, diabetes nursing, and urological nursing.
Disseminating future-oriented professional and research-based literature in nursing is central to my work. In nursing education, dissemination concerns supporting students in developing clinical competence through reflection and scientific perspectives of nursing. This is the motivation for beeing involved in education, research, and academic leadership.
From 2018 to 2026, I held a fixed-term position as Head of postgraduate specialist nursing programmes at HVL in Haugesund, Bergen, and Førde. During this period, six nursing specialisations within 1 master's degree programme was expanded to thirteen nursing specialisations within 3 master's degree programmes - including one externally funded new programme. The portfolio comprised approximately 50 academic staff members, with annual admissions of around 170 new master's students in even-numbered years and 330 in odd-numbered years.
