Associate Professor and Coordinator, Family NP Program

Dr. Fiandt was prepared as a family nurse practitioner in a post-Master's program in 1976.  Since that time she has actively involved in both practice and nursing education.  She became involved in nurse practitioner education in 1993 and has been the coordinator of the UNMC Family Nurse Practitioner Program since 1994.  Her curriculum strengths include a clear understanding of the NP role, both clinically and professionally.  That strength is operationalized in her curriculum work as a focus on functionality and core knowledge.  In addition to having strength in curriculum content, she has been involved in distance education since 1993, initially using interactive television to sites across Nebraska and more recently has successfully used web-enhanced and CD-ROM technology for delivery of her program.
