Field of Nursing is More Than Bedside Care; a Specialty with Limitless Possibilities

Missy Fleck has been serving in the nursing field for the past 45 years, although she has a hard time believing that it’s been that long. For 10 years, she was a bedside nurse and director of nursing, and for 35 years, served in the role of nurse educator at a college of nursing. Her educational background includes an associate’s degree, bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in nursing. She acquired her Ph.D. in Family Science.

“As a student for quite a few years and as a professional nurse, I had a great support network from countless role models, mentors, and colleagues along the way,” said Missy.

During her nursing career, Missy worked at CHI Health Midlands Hospital in Papillion, CHI Health St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lincoln, and the Johnson County Hospital as a practicing nurse. As a nurse educator, Fleck worked with students in Lincoln area hospitals as well as the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine organizations when she transferred to Omaha.
