Three Questions With Paula Glass

  • What do you enjoy doing outside of academia?
    • I enjoy quilting and gifting to loved ones or those who need a hug. I also enjoy reading novels
  • What is the best advice you ever received as a nurse, and how has it influenced your practice?
    • The best advice I received was to complete my Adult Nurse Practitioner MSN so I could practice and/or teach.
  • If you could give one piece of advice to new nursing students, what would it be?
    • Although you may feel overwhelmed or defeated sometimes, keep your eye on the goal! Aspire to continue learning, studying, and applying concepts you learn in clinical experiences. Lastly, you should communicate more with your faculty, especially if you’re struggling, as they cannot read your mind.
