Florida State University Faculty Member Inducted as Fellow in American Academy of Nursing

A member of the Florida State University (FSU) College of Nursing faculty has been selected for induction as a fellow into the American Academy of Nursing. Professor James Whyte IV, ND, PhD, ARNP, FNAP, is one of 195 distinguished nurse leaders who will join more than 2,500 academy fellows who are nursing’s most accomplished leaders in education, management, practice, and research around the world.

Whyte tells News.FSU.edu, “It is an honor to be recognized as a fellow by the American Academy of Nursing. I am hopeful that being admitted into the academy as a fellow will open new doors to me as a researcher and leader in nursing. I intend to keep working hard to forward my program of research.”

Whyte began his career in the US Marines and was later selected for a commissioning program in which he chose the Nurse Corps option. After traveling extensively and serving all over the world during his service, Whyte later entered academia to further his work with young people and engage in his research free of the demands of military service.

Now Whyte maintains active clinical practice as a nurse practitioner, with a focus in family and pediatric care, orthopedics and sports medicine, and people living with HIV/AIDS. His research focuses on the development of expert performance in nurses and other health care professionals, along with care of people living with HIV/AIDS.

Whyte holds a doctorate in nursing from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and a doctorate in public health from the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom. To learn more about his induction as a fellow into the American Academy of Nursing, visit here.
