About
I am a trained specialist nurse (pediatric nursing) with many years of experience in nursing care for children at Oslo University Hospital. I have a bachelors degree in sociology from UiO, as well as a masters degree and a doctorate from the Center for the Study of Professions (SPS), OsloMet. My research interests are centered around (inter-)professional interaction, educational and professional leadership, nursing education, as well as topics related to children in hospital (i.e. pain assessment and treatment).
I administer and teach several courses in, among other things, knowledge-based practice, scientific theory and method, research ethics, as well as the bachelors thesis in nursing. I have broad experience from supervising students in practice in primary and specialist healthcare, both at Bachelor level and masters level in childrens nursing. I supervise students in several masters programs and am co-supervisor for a PhD-student in pediatric nursing.
In addition to my position as associate professor here at OsloMet, I am a senior researcher (10%) at the Department of Childrens Surgery at Oslo University Hospital, associated with InteRSurg, an interdisciplinary research group established in 2021. I was research group leader for InteRSurg from its establishment until the end of 2023.
From January 2024, I lead the research group Learning and Collaboration at the Department of Nursing and Health Promotion, OsloMet.
