UTHSC News: Nursing Professor Mentored Generations of Nurse Leaders

Professor and Department Chair Mona Wicks, PhD, RN, FAAN, says her "superpower" is the ability to see the potential in people and help them achieve their goals. She's been doing that for almost 40 years at the UT Health Science Center College of Nursing.

Dr. Wicks will retire at the end of February after 39 years of teaching at the college, where she has held nearly every faculty role, from instructor to professor to associate dean of research to department chair. Her impact has been felt from Washington, D.C., to small-town Kentucky.
