Tara Chitwood, DNP, RN, CNE

With over two decades of nursing and education experience, I began my career in 1995 after earning an ADN from the Community Hospital of Roanoke Valley College of Health Sciences. I worked in various clinical and leadership roles while completing my BSN and MSN. In 2005, I began teaching at Jefferson College of Health Sciences, which later merged with Radford University in 2019. As a full-time faculty member, I teach courses in Critical Care, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Leadership, Informatics, and more. I also serve as President of Sigma Theta Tau Epsilon Psi and earned a DNP in Educational Leadership in 2019.
