Says Candace Stidolph, UW DNP Clinical Coordinator, “Nancy Brown is an accomplished advanced practice nurse who warmly welcomes our students for clinical placements. DNP students respect her skill in the specialty of dermatology, mingled with her understanding of primary care and aptitude for teaching. She is a role model for advanced practice nurses throughout our state, and we honor her for the holistic, patient-centered nursing care she provides.”
DNP student Shawn Snyder writes, “The care and attention Nancy takes with each one of her patients enables her to establish long lasting patient/provider relationships. Her patients are fiercely loyal to her and she is well known throughout our community as a quality provider. She pushed me to step outside my comfort zone and encouraged my independence. My time with her was a huge confidence builder and helped me to be more successful in subsequent clinical rotations. One of the greatest things I learned from Nancy was how to approach patients and establish a strong patient/provider relationship. She approaches every patient the same way every time and takes all the time necessary to explain everything she is doing or thinking, which helps patients relax and feel comfortable. This same approach made me feel comfortable as a student and made for a great learning experience.”
Brown will be honored at the UW Doctor of Nursing Practice "Willow Ceremony" to be held November 19, 2015 on the University of Wyoming campus.
