Dr. Christine Anne Townsend has been a nurse since 2001 and has had the joy of serving in maternal–child health, intensive care, community health, oncology, medical–surgical care, case management, leadership, management, government, and education. Nursing is in her heart, mind, body, and spirit, and she cannot imagine a better career. She earned her BSN, MSN, and doctoral degrees later in life as part of her commitment to personal growth. She enjoys spending time outdoors, running, and hiking. Reading research is genuinely enjoyable for her, and her love of seeing people grow is what inspired her to become an educator.
