Winston brings more than 30 years of experience as a nurse, educator and administrator to AllCampus
CHICAGO, Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AllCampus, a leading higher education management company partnering with top universities and employers to solve their biggest academic program and workplace benefit challenges, today announced the addition of Kathleen Winston, PhD, RN, and Dean Emeritus for the College of Nursing at the University of Phoenix to the growing AllCampus University Solutions Advisory Council.
Kathleen's extensive experience in undergraduate and graduate nursing education spans more than thirty years and includes directing an externally-funded National Institute of Health (NIH) research grant for graduate education in high-risk home healthcare nursing practice. As a curriculum expert, Dr. Winston was a lead author for the California Healthcare Workforce standardized nursing curriculum project. She has served on academic and community advisory committees, acted as a graduate student thesis advisor, and provided curriculum consultation to schools across the country.
Dr. Winston was also a Nurse Educator in the California University System (CSU) at three premier universities, three California Community Colleges (CCC's), a private for-profit institution and non-profit University.
The AllCampus Workplace Network has recently expanded its nursing program offerings to meet the growing demand from healthcare employers looking to upskill their workforce and build their talent pipelines. Traditionally, AllCampus' University Solutions division has focused on helping its partner institutions develop and evolve their academic programs across its four primary verticals – business engineering, social work and law – due to deep expertise in each of these areas. Now, the company is building on the growth of its Workplace division and introducing a fifth focus area of nursing to its core business to bring qualified students to nursing programs.
"Dr. Winston brings an impressive breadth of higher education experience to AllCampus' growing nursing practice area," said Joe Diamond, CEO of AllCampus. "Her enthusiasm for mentoring the next generation of nursing professionals and higher education leaders is obvious and inspiring. As we work more closely with nursing programs at leading universities across the country, we knew that Kathleen's years of nursing leadership experience would strengthen our relationships, strategy, and programs we help our partners provide."
As a recognized leader and administrator in nursing education, Dr. Winston was also invited to serve as a member of the Governors Nursing Shortage Taskforce in California which began in 2008 and resulted in the creation of an enrollment growth project funded by the state legislature that is continuing today. Dr. Winston formed strategic partnerships with healthcare agencies throughout Southern California helping to create a blueprint for clinical access for nursing education programs.
In her new role at AllCampus, Kathleen will consult with current and potential university partners on program selection and structure, the benefits of online program management, and best practices for accreditation and clinical placements within programs.
"After an extremely fulfilling career that spanned clinical practice, academia and leadership, I'm excited to take on a new challenge and step into an advisory role for AllCampus and guide our nursing vertical," said Winston. "Having been in the nursing field since I was 19 years old, this role closely aligns with my passion for expanding access to specialized nursing education, fostering industry expertise and preparing the next generation of nurses for their jobs of the future."
