A conversation with Rheba de Tornyay, EdD, RN, FAAN

According to Houser and Player (2004): She is renowned for her leadership role as the dean of the University of Washington, for her early election to the Institute of Medicine, and for her role as the founding president of the American Academy of Nursing (1973). If I had my wish for PhD students who intend to assume or continue in a faculty role, I would encourage them to have some preparation in curriculum development, teaching-learning theory and techniques, and program evaluation. [...]I would expect that these PhD students would serve as teaching assistants with an accomplished faculty member.
