"I have been thinking about contributing to Nursing in Antigua for a while; so it is an exciting opportunity to lead this Academic Nursing Program and prepare students to become future leaders of the Nursing Profession. Dr. Gordon started her career in Nursing at the Holberton Hospital, continued in the United Kingdom, then practiced Nursing in New York State.

She also plans to utilize theory, practice and research to lay the foundation for Evidenced - Based - Practice.
