Paul Weingartner is an Assistant Professor of Nursing at Chico State. He has been an adjunct instructor in the nursing department since 2017 and received his MSN with a specialization in nursing education at Chico State in 2019. As a practicing nurse for over 20 years, mostly in the area of emergency nursing, Weingartner is a nationally-certified Emergency Nurse, a member of the Emergency Nurses Association, and maintains a clinical practice in the emergency department at Glenn Medical Center in Willows, CA. Weingartner is adamant about the scientific basis for nursing and teaches a course in evidence-based practice to first semester nursing students, instructs clinical courses at Enloe Medical Center, and teaches the capstone simulation practicum at the Rural SimCenter. As a lifelong learner, Weingartner is currently enrolled in the Doctorate of Nursing Practice program at San Jose State and plans to do his doctoral project on the use of simulation-based technologies to train nurses and nursing students how to identify risk factors for workplace violence, de-escalate violent situations, and engage in self-defense when necessary. Before becoming a nurse, Weingartner earned a master’s degree in sociology from the University of Kentucky and taught university-level social science courses at schools in Kentucky and New York, and, most recently, Washington State University.
