We are #ECUHealthProud of the amazing nurses who lend their talents to eastern North Carolina, and the many ways they serve our region. In recognition of the exceptional work done by Nursing Professional Development Practitioners, we caught up with Donnie (DJ) Johnson, a nursing professional development specialist in the Center for Learning & Performance at ECU Health Medical Center. Donnie started his career at the Medical Center more than 14 years ago. Here’s what he had to say about his role and the impact it has on nursing and patient care.

“I’ve always had a love for education, and in the ED I was able to function as a clinical coach and as a charge nurse. Such roles allowed me to help other nurses grow and after seeing that impact, I decided to transition into the nursing professional development specialist role. I’ve always thought to myself, “How can I give back to nursing, which has given me so much?” Through education and professional development, I am able to give back by training and educating future nurses or team members and through their development, I’m able to make an impact in patient care.”
