Dr. Sharon Nazarchuk R.N.

Part-time Faculty - College of Health and Human Services

Dr. Sharon Nazarchuk has worked in health care for over 40 years, providing her with much insight into the courses she teaches in the health sciences. In addition to her other degrees, her educational philosophy is based on principles that emphasize the search for meaning, freedom of choice, personal responsibility, self-awareness and compassion directed toward self and others. Dr. Nazarchuk believes that education is a process that prepares each individual to deal with life and to search for meaning and is a life long process of evolution aimed at the development of intellectual, aesthetic, and professional interests that advance the learner toward personal and professional goals. Dr. Nazarchuk also believes quality teaching is accomplished through a dialogue with the learner whereby the teacher and learner pose questions and explore choices in action.
