Dan’s Biography

Hello,

I am Daniel Lane, DNP, RN, CNE, NE-BC, and I am an OSU graduate.   Thank you for visiting my teaching portfolio blog.

I graduated in May 2020 with my DNP & a Nurse Educator Certificate.

This year is my 30th year in the healthcare field and 21 years as an RN.   I started my healthcare career working in the laundry room at a local hospital. My college roommate persuaded me to become a nurse aide on one of the nursing units and that started my long journey of becoming a nurse.  After graduating with my ADN, I worked on Med-Surg units, the Emergency Department, and Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).  While in the PACU, I started working on my BSN.  Around the time of finishing my BSN, I also became the manager of the PACU.  A year later, I started my MSN program.  Since graduating with my MSN, I have been a manager over Med-Surg units, Telemetry-Step Down Units, Pediatric Unit, Nursing Informatics, and now Quality Management.

I have taught weekend clinical rotations for Kent State University, and I am currently an on-line, adjunct instructor for South University’s RN to BSN program.

 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family.  This summer, we visited Washington, DC on the way to the beach!  Our 2019 OSU Rose Bowl Trip!
