Dr. Geist received her Eddy at Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship with the NSF funded Vent Engineering Research Center (a collaboration between Vanderbilt, Northwestern, The University of Texas and Harvard Universities) where she developed and implemented Legacy Cycles as part of a curricular change in Biomedical Engineering aimed at increasing flexible knowledge and adaptive expertise of students. In her classes, nursing students engage in critical reasoning and clinical decision making via Legacy Cycle modules on complex topics such as management of anticoagulants, and care of the older adult client in the emergency department setting. She currently works at a regional medical center which experiences approximately 50,000 visits per year. Close
