Dr. Rudisill enjoys teaching clinically and experientially. She also teaches interprofessional development courses, such as ACLS and PALS, and nursing development courses, such as TNCC and ENPC. Dr. Rudisill’s professional interests include nursing communication and empowerment, quality and safety, and caring for the behavioral health patient in the emergency setting.
Dr. Rudisill enjoys spending time with her family; which includes her partner, Don and their dog Chuck. When not teaching, she enjoys spending quiet mornings on her mountain home deck drinking hot tea. She also enjoys reading and watching sports—especially the Carolina Tar Heels and the Carolina Hurricanes- and trying to make the world a better place, in general. She is relatively ‘new’ to Boone, however, but has roots at App as her mother and sister are both alumnae.
