Mary Carney has been an RN for over 40 years- working in neonatal, pediatric, and adult critical care – 38 years of that on night shift. She worked as a bedside RN until completing her DNP in 2016. Her master’s and doctoral research focused on the lived experience of night shift healthcare workers, and the role that the ‘culture of fatigue’ impacts that work.

Mary is a graduate of Purdue, Western Governors, and Touro Universities. She is a popular conference speaker and currently works with WGU’s innovative BSN program from her home in Lake City, Florida.
