School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene

Magnussen is a professor and director of faculty development in the School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene.

She is the point person for the Systemwide Nursing Consortium, which has developed an integrated, cohesive and uniform statewide curriculum for nursing.

Demonstrating exemplary leadership in administration, scholarship and instruction, Magnussen believes a nursing teacher should show students how to “think like a nurse” so they can effectively transition into the practice world.

Magnussen has taught at all levels of the curriculum, with current emphasis on working with doctoral students.
