Meet Britt Stace, a new faculty member in the School of Nursing!

One of Professor Stace's favorite courses to teach is NSG 635: Care Delivery and Coordination: Pediatrics.

Before joining the faculty full-time, Professor Stace completed her Doctor of Nursing Practice at JMU and served as an adjunct instructor. She always knew that if the opportunity to teach full-time at JMU came along, she would take it!

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, toddler, and three rescue pets.

We’re so glad you’re here, Professor Stace!
