About Lyn Stevens
The youngest memory Lyn Stevens, DNP, has was when her mother and cousin visited her in Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital (now the Lurie Children’s Hospital) in 1964. “I believe this implanted a seed that just continued throughout my childhood,” she says. “In 1978, I saw an ad for nurse aide at the local critical access hospital. That position was the beginning of my healthcare career.”
Lyn began her studies at Indiana University School of Nursing, Indianapolis, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She then went on to Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, where she obtained her Master of Science in Advanced Practice Nursing. This was followed by time spent at Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, IN, where she completed her Master’s Certificate in Family Advanced Practice Nursing and then her Doctor of Nursing Practice.
Curiosity and the desire to continue to provide needed care led Lyn to become a DNP. Her role, as she describes it, is to meet total strangers and try to get to know their understanding of health and their goals so that she can help them. She hopes patients see her as compassionate, educational, sincere, optimistic, resourceful and helpful.
Her philosophy as a provider is to have respect for ALL patients. “Practice with integrity and always show accountability,” Lyn says.
