Tiffany Gibson is a Nurse Leader whose primary focus is creating emotionally intelligent Nurses to change the culture of the profession and demolish outdated norms.

Tiffany challenges nurses to master leadership in themselves so they can master the complicated industry of healthcare. She accomplishes this within her work as a full-time Nurse Director, part-time adjunct faculty member, and all-the-time in Nursing Education Professional Development and Equity & Inclusion Consulting for her business, New Nurse Academy, LLC.

Early on, Tiffany developed a devotedness to learning and leading that continues to this day. She is a graduate of Temple University (2005, Bachelor of Public Health), Drexel University (2008, Bachelor of Nursing), and Walden University (2017, Master of Nursing Education). Tiffany also has a post-graduate certificate in Healthcare Diversity Leadership from the Institute of Emerging Health Professions at Thomas Jefferson University and two national board certifications – one as a Nurse Professional Development Specialist (ANCC) and another from the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board.

With a profound commitment to driving nursing culture forward, Tiffany’s mission is to have unconventional conversations and present opportunities for learning to nurses and hospital administration on the importance of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, psychological safety, and inclusivity. Tiffany is creating a movement to amplify thought leaders and change agents that will change the narrative of nursing.

Statement of Need

The role of nurses in improving health outcomes is to provide inclusive health care in an environment inundated with persistent disparities. It is imperative that nurses understand the root causes of these disparities, including racism and the impact it has on patients, their families, and health outcomes. Nurses are positioned to improve care delivery for patients who seek medical assistance in the communities in which they live by implementing actionable countermeasures against health care disparities.

In this CME Outfitters Snack, expert faculty will open a discussion around the dynamic, evolving topics of bias and cultural humility and will review strategies and actionable steps for nurses to achieve inclusive and equitable patient management, including how to model respectful care.
