Dr. Randy M. Caine was appointed the new dean

“
Dr. Caine will lead our nursing programs in new opportunities
and into new and more effective approaches to nursing education,” said
President Wright.
With over 24 years of experience in nursing education and administration
at the university level, Dr Caine brings to HPU a record of excellence
in teaching, mentoring, administration, and scholarly activities,
including research and publication in the field of cancer and
nurse practitioner participation in end-of-life decision making.
Her approach to nursing education is based on personal philosophies
of credibility, mentoring, and caring.
“
These philosophies,” she said, “have guided me both
personally and professionally in my role as an academician, nurse
professional, and human being.”

and served in the administrative post of director of Graduate

courses as well as content and delivery of graduate programs
in nursing, including distance education. She also brings to
HPU professional experience and leadership in the accreditation
of the Nurse Practitioner programs for the California Board of
Registered Nursing and the first accreditation of the Nurse Practitioner
programs through the Collegiate Commission on Nursing Education
(CCNE).
Dr. Caine holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University
of Miami School of Nursing, a Master of Science in Medical-Surgical
Nursing and Education from Hunter College of the City University
of New York, and a Doctorate in Education from Pepperdine University
