Mrs Darlene Archer serves as Lecturer in Nursing within the School of Nursing and Midwifery in the College of Health at Adelaide University. Possessing over 35 years of experience in the nursing field, she has worked across diverse clinical settings and fulfilled a range of roles. Her areas of clinical specialty are emergency nursing, paediatric nursing, and allergy nursing. For more than 10 years, Archer has contributed to higher education by teaching undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students, drawing on her extensive practical background to inform her pedagogical approach.
Archer completed her Masters in Nursing Education in 2021 and is presently a PhD candidate. Her doctoral research examines pain assessment as a social transaction, specifically investigating how current curricula can be adapted to improve students' grasp and implementation in clinical contexts. Additional research interests include employing non-clinical skills to identify early signs of deterioration in adult patients and developing interventions to lessen preoperative anxiety experienced by paediatric surgical patients. These scholarly pursuits underscore her dedication to elevating nursing education and clinical competencies. Archer is currently finalizing her initial publication, which addresses adult patient deterioration.
