LANP is designed for people who have experience in academic administration and aspire to more senior administrative or executive positions within the nursing academic unit.

“Being selected for this program is an honor and presents a significant opportunity to advance my career,” Myrick said.

Program participants come from 25 states and represent an array of institution types, including small liberal arts programs, public and private schools and large academic health centers. They were selected following a competitive review process.

Myrick earned her bachelor’s, master’s and doctor of nursing practice degrees from the University of Connecticut and received a post-master’s certificate in nursing from George Washington University in 2002. She is certified as both a family and adult nurse practitioner and has a strong background in orthopedics, sports medicine and emergency/urgent care.
