SHANNON Cullens

I am a devoted Registered Practical Nurse with nearly 16 years of experience working full scope. I strive to teach students and engage them in a wholesome, compassionate, and approachable manner to ensure they are successful and confident in themselves and their skill ability delivery. With my skills and experience, I am able to adapt to new situations positively, work efficiently under pressure, and thrive in group dynamics and independently. I am extremely interested in the Full-Time Professor position for the Personal Support Worker Program at Cambrian ColIege. I'd like to further utilize my knowledge and skill base to encompass and expand on my love of nursing and teaching at a higher level. I am currently holding a casual position at Health Sciences North on 4 North Medical, Oncology, and Palliative Care Unit while continuing my love of teaching as a sessional Clinical Instructor for the Personal Support Worker Program at Cambrian College presently.
