Why I selected this individual and/or team and how they will support my success in the MSN program and as a practising nurse: Notes:

I consider Dr. Nina Bell as an important part of my academic and professional network. Firstly, I believe she can support me academically as I continue to learn how to be a competent nurse practitioner technically and in other soft skills. Dr. Bell has already accomplished academically in matters of healthcare and nursing. She currently holds a master’s degree and a PhD in public health. In addition, she is my major academic and professional network because she got both her master’s and PhD from Walden University. Dr. Bell also has extensive experience teaching in physical classrooms and online. She has over seven years of experience teaching virtual classes and full-time teaching experience in multiple higher learning institutions, including Ashford University, the former Argosy University. Besides teaching, she has experience spanning over 20 years in public health and is also the author of a community and public health textbook. Dr. Nina Bell is also a resourceful academic network as she is currently a member of Walden’s PhD committee for the Health Education and Health Promotion area. At the committee, she is tasked with supporting students in the development of their dissertations. This means that, as a member of my professional and academic network, Dr. Bell will provide much-needed guidance throughout my academic career in the MSN program as well as in understanding the healthcare market during my practice as an NP.
