Lancaster Community College, recently was notified that she has been accepted as an Ambassador for the National League for Nursing. McAllister, who has headed the DSLCC nursing program since 2012, was one of only 142 new ambassadors accepted into the program nation-wide. Her duties as an ambassador will include encouraging other colleagues to participate in NLN programs and apply for research grants, keeping a line of communication open between DSLCC and the NLN, and providing feedback about the organization and its programs, among other duties. McAllister, a 2000 graduate of the DSLCC Nursing Program, received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Old Dominion University in 2003, and a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Phoenix in 2010. McAllister is a doctoral candidate, enrolled in the Ed.D. program at Walden University, and plans to complete her degree research next spring. She is a member of the Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society of Nursing, and faculty advisor for the DSLCC Nursing Student Association. The NLN promotes excellence in nursing education to build a strong and diverse workforce to advance the nation’s health.
