Welcome to a new feature of the Blue and Grey, “Faculty Spotlight,” where the paper interviews a professor to introduce to the student body to get to know more about.
The first faculty member that we will be spotlighting is Evelyn Nieves, the assistant professor from the Department of Nursing.
Nieves came to Hood College with a PhD from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, a master’s from Walden University and her diploma in nursing from the Northeastern Hospital at Temple University.
“I’ve always wanted to be a nurse,” Nieves said.
At a young age, Nieves experienced first-hand the impact nurses have on a patient. Losing a family member and friend changed her outlook when she saw how the nurse impacted them. “I always felt I was either treating my best friend or father,” Nieves said.
Nieves said she discovered her position looking at the Hood website. “I chose Hood because of the opportunities to grow as a professional, along with contributing to a diverse community,” she said.
She said he enjoys Hood’s diverse student population.
She said she would like to see the nursing program grow to be the best in the area. “A program that others want to emulate, a program that excels in producing excellent nurses that will impact not only Maryland but maybe the world,” she said.
Nieves, teaches adult health, pathophysiology/pharmacology and leadership and management.
“Hood College is small but mighty, and I’m glad to be part of it,” Nieves said.
