Biography
Nanci Reiland, DNP, RN, has worked in nursing higher education since 2004 when she received her master’s in nursing education. Prior to that, her nursing background focused on community-based care including roles at Visiting Nurse Associations, Home Care agencies, school and parish nursing, consulting for a home medical supply company and staff nursing at a university clinic. Reiland enjoys exposing students to the vast array of opportunities to serve clients’ needs in diverse settings outside the four walls of the hospital. Traveling to Bolivia and London with students heightened her interest in global initiatives.
During her preparation for her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, Reiland became more involved in the public health field including serving on several boards of health and health advisory committees. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a wealth of experiences and ability to share her expertise in the local community, including the university setting. After two decades at a Catholic and Lasallian University, Reiland is excited to come to St. Mary’s University to assist in the preparation of the inaugural BSN program.
