From a very young age, 罗宾Cournoyer, Goodwin College Assistant Professor of 护理 and Course Coordinator Pedi/OB, knew she wanted to be a teacher. Her lifelong goal was to obtain a position at a college that served a diverse population — and she’s done just that.
“When contemplating my career path in the 80’s, I realized there was a severe lack of open positions for teachers,” she recalled. “I did know, however, if I went into 护理, I would be guaranteed a job.”
护理 school wasn’t easy for Cournoyer, and when she graduated in 1981 she decided she wanted to return to school to teach nursing, capitalizing on her experiences as a student. “I felt that I could be a good teacher because I could relate to the students who struggled.”
She started a master’s degree program that year, but marriage and a new family delayed her plans.
Cournoyer是一名全职护士，并成立了一家儿童保育咨询公司，促进为儿童和工作人员创造安全和健康的环境。
Thirty-four years later, Cournoyer completed her master’s degree and was offered a full-time position at Goodwin College starting just days after she graduated.
“You can always go back,” she said. “It’s never too late.”
康诺耶希望她的学生能让护理领域变得更好。 “I’m here to serve the students and help them see their potential.”
