Let’s celebrate our nurses at the Center for Healthy Aging.❤️🩺🔬🌡️
Today we celebrate:
Dr. Whitney Smith
DNP, APRN, AGPCNP-BC
Dr. Smith is a three-time alumna of the Medical University of South Carolina (BSN, 1999; MSN, 2001;
DNP, 2017) and has served on faculty in the College of Nursing since 2013. She has been Lead AGNP and Post-MSN faculty since 2014 and currently serves as Interim Assistant Dean of Graduate Practice Programs.
Dr. Smith has extensive teaching experience across all APRN clinical and DNP project courses and serves as CoChair of the Center for Healthy Aging (CfHA) Education and Outreach Pillar alongside Dr. Lindell.
She became a nurse to become a nurse practitioner and was in the first class that MUSC CON allowed
BSN graduates to go straight into their MSN APRN program. As a Nurse Practitioner, she has worked in women's health, skilled nursing, workers compensation and primary care. She says she has always loved being a nurse practitioner, and even more so educating the next generation of NPs!🫶🏻
Outside of work, Dr. Smith enjoys spending time with her family, daughter, Anna (19), son, Aidan (24), family dog, Toddy, a Boykin Spaniel. ❤️🩺🔬🫶🏻🐶
