She involves all the nurses so that we can communicate how we learn best and the topics we are most interested in or struggling with. She makes all of us excited to get involved, especially with new projects and EBP work.
Lindsey fosters a compassionate environment where learners flourish by being constantly present on the unit. Lindsey writes a unit education newsletter every month, which includes unit policy updates, a new article every month from our field that is featured in a medical journal, a new book suggestion for a book relevant to our field, and a new opportunity for free CEUs available. She provides new educational topics monthly and is present at unit and shared governance meetings to share and update new education and policies.
Lindsey's office door is always open for any questions, and she is willing to search high and low for answers. She provides constructive feedback during our unit competency check offs and is always so approachable and kind.

Lindsey promotes the development and advancement of the learner's professional identity by assisting floor nurses in achieving certification. Lindsey has helped walk me through the process of finding, completing, and entering my CEUs, has offered study resources and assistance, and has supported me through the process of certification. She also encouraged me to participate in unit projects, which will help me advance my career and role in the unit.
Lindsey also facilitates a spirit of inquiry and lifelong learning by inspiring others as a lifelong learner herself! Lindsey is a huge reader and is always recommending new books and articles related to mental health, our unit specialty. She always posts a new book in her monthly newsletter, and many nurses on the unit have been able to read her suggestions and discuss them together. It really helps to grow empathy for the patients, knowledge about various illnesses and treatments, and things our own unit should consider improving. Lindsey always makes education fun and interesting rather than a chore, and we are so lucky to have her on our unit!!
