Elizabeth Gallagher, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC

Associate Professor of Instruction

I earned my BSN at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. I started my nursing career in the pediatric intensive care unit. After seeing all the truly incredible lifesaving measures modern acute care medicine has to offer, I moved into the primary care realm with a passion for health promotion. I worked for a year on women’s health in rural Honduras. In 2013, I completed my MSN with a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) specialty at University of Illinois at Chicago while working as a community health nurse. After this, I moved to Seattle, WA to complete an FNP Primary Care Residency. Since then, I have practiced as FNP in primary care. I have been teaching nursing students since 2016. My leadership experience includes medical director and FNP program director. My clinical interests include primary care, sibling aggression prevention, LGBTQI care, promoting health care delivery by Advanced Practice Clinicians, and global nursing education.
