Melissa Bennett, DNP

Instructional Faculty,
Department of Nursing

I've been a nurse for over 30 years focusing primarily in the long term and long term acute care arena due to my love for geriatrics!  I am passionate about developing nurse leaders and supporting professional growth.  I am active as an appraiser for Pathways to Excellence through ANCC, and I volunteer on the Ohio Board of Nursing's Education Advisory Council.

Personally, my husband and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2020.  We have three adult children, one of whom is a BSN almost MSN/ MBA nurse, and one grandson!  

I love to garden, read, waterski, cook and workout!  My favorite workouts are HIIT, Tabata and Sculpting.
