Liana Hain

I am Liana Hain, RN, BSN, MS, CCRN and am working with Dr. Tom Nolan as a TA for Nursing 400. I am a full time nursing instructor at Evergreen Valley College (ADN program) and am presently on sabbatical to learn more about distance learning. My bedside nursing practice involves critical care transport through a national ambulance company. I transport patients between hospitals in a mobile intensive care unit.

I received my BSN from San Jose State University in 1985. I received my MS from UCSF where I majored in critical care/trauma nursing and minored in education & AIDS. I am also nationally published on the issue of stigmatization of persons with AIDS in ICUs. I have been a tenured faculty at EVC for 7 years now and really enjoy teaching.

My philosophy of nursing education is to keep the learning environment as non-threatening as possible to maximize the students' abilities to think and learn.

I am very happily married, live in Santa Cruz, have 2 teenage sons and lots of friends. My hobbies are canning, knitting, traveling, reading non-fiction, gourmet cooking, and hiking.
