Latina Brooks, an influential figure in nursing education and assistant dean of academic affairs at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, emphasizes the crucial role that nursing school education plays in shaping the future of aspiring nurses.

She advocates for a comprehensive curriculum that not only covers essential medical knowledge but also fosters critical thinking, compassion, and effective communication skills.
