I’m Sabrina Palmer, RN from Louisiana Delta Community College. I practiced as a nurse for several years and then started my journey in higher education in 2020 as a Practical Nursing instructor. I am passionate about nursing, teaching, and making a difference.
Our program is a Technical Diploma and we serve populations of students that would highly benefit from OER materials. I am excited to be a part of this and see how the process unfolds.
I feel like not only is this a service to my community and students, but I firmly believe that I will get personal benefit from participating in a project of this scale.
Nice to meet you all. I can’t wait to see all the end results!

My name is Tonya Gauna and I currently teach Nursing Microbiology at Louisiana State University. I also taught the majors Micro for 5 years before transitioning to the non-majors. I have been a nurse for 31 years and find that my experiences help in the classroom. Prior to LSU, I taught at Bunkie Magnet High School in Bunkie, LA. I taught all science and medical related courses.
I am very excited about this new challenge that I am a part of . Technology is not my forte so not only am I getting to work with some of the best in the business developing a resource to benefit students, I am getting to learn some new and exciting things!
