Biography
Dr. Jamie Hansen joined the nursing faculty at Carroll University in Fall 2010. Prior to transitioning to academia she worked as a Registered Nurse on a cardiac care unit. Dr. Hansen earned her Ph.D. in 2016 from Marquette University. While at Carroll, Dr. Hansen has established a strong research trajectory focused on interventions to improve student outcomes using simulation learning experiences. She is well published and has presented at numerous regional, national, and international nursing conferences. She has mentored over a dozen honors nursing research students who have presented their work at local and national nursing conferences. Dr. Hansen was awarded the Benjamin F. Richardson Jr. Faculty Award for excellence in teaching, research and educational innovation in 2021.

What is your teaching style?
I use a student-centered teaching style. I feel this approach helps me to best facilitate students learning process.
Why do you do what you do?
I became a nurse educator because I love the profession of nursing and wanted to be around students who share the same passion as I do.
How do you make learning engaging?
I try to use a variety of learning activities such as case studies, games, and role-play activities throughout the course of the semester to help engage students in the content being discussed.
What should students know about you?
Students should know that while I am serious in class I am very approachable and understanding.
