Mariah Foster

I started teaching at Michigan State University (MSU) in the College of Nursing in 2017 where I was clinical instructor and adjunct faculty. I started teaching full time for MSU in the College of Nursing in May 2022 where I have taught in the undergraduate, as well as the graduate programs. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Master of Science in Nursing, and my Doctor of Nursing Practice at MSU. I obtained my certification as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in 2017.

I have experience as a CNS in the progressive care and medical intensive care units. Most recently I have begun a position as a CNS within the Nurse Practitioner clinic at HCI where I am beginning a quality improvement initiative.

I am an active member in the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists where I collaborate with a committee to coordinate educational offerings for CNSs. I am also a member of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses and Michigan Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists.
