ACN Member Spotlight

ACN Member Robin Schafer was recently highlighted in the spring issue of NYU Rory College School of Nursing publication for her work as health director at two New York summer camps. Schafer received her BS from NYU Meyers in ’99, and will complete her DNP in ’21.

During the school year, Schafer is at Iona College, in New Rochelle, NY, serving as the director of health services and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. She also has a private practice specializing in adolescent and young adult psychiatric issues.

She finds that her summer camp work includes not only the first aid pieces of bites, stings, sprains and strains but increasingly the mental health issues that kids have today. She is incorporating her work at camps for her dissertation: “I’m trying to figure out if an educational program for counselors and staff at a summer camp helps in improving their knowledge of mental health disorders.”

We’re glad you’re an ACN Member Robin, and look forward to all that you can contribute to our organization!
