Guided by a lifelong passion for service and education, Collins has built a distinguished career focused on supporting nurses at every stage of their professional journey while helping healthcare organizations maintain high standards of safety and clinical excellence.
Inspired by a strong family legacy in nursing — including her grandmother, mother, and aunt — Collins began her healthcare career as a Licensed Practical Nurse before becoming a Registered Nurse in 1996. Early in her nursing journey, she gained valuable bedside experience working on a medical-surgical unit with a neurology focus, where she developed a strong clinical foundation and deep appreciation for compassionate patient-centered care.
Over the years, Collins steadily advanced through a series of leadership positions, including assistant nurse manager, nurse manager for geriatric and surgical units, and coordinator for nurse residency programs supporting newly graduated nurses entering the profession. Her extensive leadership background has allowed her to combine operational oversight, staff development, mentorship, and education into a career dedicated to strengthening the nursing workforce.
Since 2012, Collins has served in director and associate director roles focused on nursing leadership and education. She currently serves as Director of Nursing Education at The Brooklyn Hospital Center, where she oversees nursing and ancillary staff education across multiple clinical specialties, including emergency services, critical care, maternity, procedural areas, and operating room departments.
In her current role, Collins manages orientation programs, clinical skills development, annual competency training, and education surrounding new devices and emerging healthcare technologies. Her leadership helps ensure nursing staff remain prepared to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality patient care in rapidly evolving clinical environments.
Collins earned her Associate’s Degree from New York City Technical College, followed by her Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree from SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University in 2000. She later completed her Master of Science Degree as a Clinical Nurse Specialist from St. Joseph’s College in 2009.
Committed to continued professional involvement and leadership development, Collins remains active in organizations such as the Association for Nursing Professional Development and the New York Organization of Nurse Leaders. She is especially passionate about mentoring emerging nurses and helping shape the future of the profession through education, guidance, and advocacy.
Recently, Collins served as a guest speaker at Long Island University Brooklyn graduation ceremonies, where she encouraged new graduates to embrace mentorship, resilience, and lifelong learning as they begin their careers in nursing.
“I have a passion for having a caring nature and a passion for new nurses and teaching them the right way to do things,” says Collins. “Being a mentor and supporter is incredibly important. Our new nurses need experienced people to guide them because everyone is new at some point. That’s my passion — being a change agent and supporting the next generation of nurses.”
Collins also emphasizes integrity, adaptability, and doing one’s best regardless of circumstances or challenges. Through her work in nursing education, she believes she has an opportunity not only to support healthcare professionals but also to directly improve patient safety and quality of care throughout the organization.
