In 2020, Dr. Brooklyn Loxtercamp graduated with her DNP in Nursing Leadership from the College of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, MN. Throughout her doctorate program, her practicum experiences focused on academia, nursing leadership, and community health. It was during a practicum experience with M Health Fairview that she was introduced to the Augsburg Nursing Department faculty and the Health Commons model. She was immediately drawn to the work done at Augsburg along with the mission, values, and intentional diversity lived out every day. In her role as Nursing Faculty in the department, she teaches a variety of classes in multiple tracks including the BSN completion and the Masters of Arts in Nursing. Brooklyn has spent many hours at the multiple Health Commons sites and champions the Living Room in the Harrison neighborhood in North Minneapolis.

For the focus of her DNP project, Brooklyn researched peer mentorship and its effects on students’ perceived levels of stress, collaboration, and overall well-being at the undergraduate nursing level. She presented her findings to defend her DNP this past August. Since then, she has started to develop a New Faculty Mentorship Program as well as a Formal Faculty Reflection, Growth, and Wellbeing program with hopes of conducting research on mentorship and its effects on faculty development in the School of Health at Augsburg. Brooklyn has also joined the Advancing Religious Pluralism Fellowship with the hopes of better understanding the many different religions and how to best teach and mentor her students with an inclusive, individualized instruction approach. Brooklyn’s experience as a registered nurse was in a medical-surgical oncology unit where she assumed the role of nurse, preceptor, mentor, council member, and unit safety champion.
