Dr. Bonita Moore, DNP, RN, CHSE, CNE

Co-Director of Clinical Simulation and Learning Center, Lecturer

My nursing journey began in May of 2013 when I graduated with an associate degree in nursing from Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) and accepted a position at UK Healthcare in the clinical decision unit (CDU) caring for ICU, progressive, and telemetry patients. In January 2014, I transferred to a medical surgical/telemetry unit at UK Healthcare Good Samaritan and continued to work there until July 2022. I graduated with a BSN from Indiana Wesleyan University(IWU) in December 2015 and accepted an adjunct clinical instructor position for BCTC in January 2016 serving in that role until May 2020. I graduated with an MSN in clinical education from IWU December 2018 and began working as part-time faculty for the University of Kentucky College of Nursing in the Clinical Simulation and Learning Center (CSLC) transitioning to a full-time faculty position August 2022. I also worked part-time as an instructor for Kaplan Inc. from 2019 - 2024 teaching strategies to students to prepare for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). While working at Kaplan I had opportunities to write course content for i-Humanpatients, and Next Generation NCLEX questions for Kaplan review courses. In May 2023, I received Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Kentucky College of Nursing as well as obtaining a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) in October of 2022. I am currently enrolled in the University of Kentucky’s College of Nursing’s Postgraduate Certification Program for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
