Sharon McGuire, OP, PhD, RN-C
Assistant Professor
Hahn School of Nursing and Health Science
University of San Diego

My background includes general responsibility for the development of curriculum in accordance with NONPF domains, and of clinical sites/preceptors in a new Family Nurse Practitioner program geared toward health care with an underserved, Hispanic/Latino population on the U.S. Mexico border (1994-1998). As coordinator of the FNP option, my work included teaching, structuring the criteria for performance, assignments, substantial input into the creation of a Web based clinical log data-base, and other administrative aspects of a nurse practitioner program. Participation in a state wide NP faculty group that met periodically to address issues in advanced practice education nurtured my own sense of collegiality with other faculty and program administrators. I believe my strength would be in assisting new programs that need the nuts and bolts of curriculum development and programming that are responsive to regional health problems and that incorporate the NONPF domains. Both my personal and clinical background includes extensive experience in working successfully with culturally diverse ethnic groups, especially Hispanics/Latinos. When I relocated to another state to complete doctoral studies I served in a consultant role to the new director of the program in her transition. I am currently on faculty at the University of San Diego, teach the health assessment and advanced health assessment courses, and am developing a Web based advance health assessment course.

The consultant report reflects the views only of the consultant and does not signify an official position of NONPF nor an organizational endorsement or approval of the NP educational program.
