Darlaine Jantzen (she/her) has focused her academic career on how nurses learn to nurse well across the continuum of education, from undergraduate nursing education to continuing professional education,
and across settings. Specific areas of interest include philosophy of nursing and nursing education,
experiential learning theories, moral philosophy, (virtue) ethics, and nurses’ experiences of organizational change. Darlaine teaches across the TWU programs (BSN, MSN, PhD) communication,
ethics, nurse-patient relationships, qualitative inquiry, nursing education (elective), Advanced Nursing
Philosophy, Advanced Academic Leadership, and Doctoral Seminars. Darlaine has conducted narrative
inquiry and ground theory research; completed a scoping review and a Qualitative Systematic Review
(JBI). Prior to her academic career she practiced nursing in medical cardiology, including critical care, telemetry, and post-intervention cardiac care. Darlaine Jantzen current interests are around: What are
“good nurses” and “good healthcare places;” what do we need to do to create this “good place;” and how will we know if we are being successful?
