Lori Rietze

As an Assistant Professor at Laurentian University's School of Nursing, I completed my undergraduate BScN at Laurentian University (2000), MSc at McMaster University (2003), and PhD (2022) at the University of Victoria. Prior to my appointment at Laurentian University, I practiced as a surgical registered nurse, at Health Sciences North (formally known as St. Joseph's Health Centre). My research interests are health systems, organizational culture, acute care nursing, leadership, qualitative research, advance care planning, and end-of-life care.
