Biography

Sarah Flores’s areas of interest center on preparing B.S.N. students for the transition to professional nursing and navigating the healthcare environment. Flores enjoys facilitating thought-provoking discussions around the intersection of the Christian faith and topics such as ethical issues in nursing, patient and professional advocacy, allocation of healthcare resources, and the complexity of healthcare systems. She also has experience in nursing informatics, project management, and performance improvement, which she integrates into courses. Flores’ research interests center on pediatric injury prevention, specifically prevention of unintentional window falls, and emergency preparedness in the ambulatory setting.
