Biography

Dr. Carroll is an adult health nurse practitioner with a focus on gerontological psychiatric care. She has worked and taught in acute care, acute rehabilitation, long-term/ subacute care, and home care settings. She earned her BSN from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, her MSN from the University of Connecticut at Storrs, and her PhD from Boston College. Her doctoral dissertation was a qualitative phenomenological study on the communication experiences of patients who are ventilated and non-vocal. She has also published a metasynthesis on this topic as well as articles related to the inclusion of people with disabilities into nursing. Another area of research interest is how nurses are portrayed in the media, and she has published a qualitative media analysis on the role and image of nurses in children’s literature. Dr. Carroll serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Nursing Education and reviews for other nursing journals periodically. She teaches in the master’s program at Rush University.
