About Lauren Vogel
Lauren Vogel, RN, BSN | Clinical Educator – WVU School of Nursing
Graduate of the West Virginia University Bachelor of Science in Nursing program with clinical experience in emergency nursing at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital since 2021. As a Clinical Educator, I integrate evidence-based practice and real-world clinical expertise to create meaningful, practice-based learning experiences for undergraduate nursing students. My teaching approach emphasizes mentorship, student engagement, and the development of clinical confidence through tailored instruction, structured reflection, and innovative educational tools. In addition, I design and implement targeted learning resources—such as clinical guides, documentation tools, and interactive activities—to reinforce foundational skills and support competency development. These strategies have resulted in measurable improvements in student confidence, independence, and accuracy in performing essential clinical skills, as well as enhanced ability to interpret bedside monitoring data and apply it to patient care. Committed to advancing nursing education and preparing competent, compassionate nurses equipped to meet the evolving demands of healthcare.
