Akaki Luhahi, DNP, R.N., CIC

I have been a Registered Nurse for over 20 years and earned my DNP in 2020 from the University of Saint Francis, Joliet. My professional experiences include community health, clinical education and Infection control Prevention, along with providing leadership in quality improvement initiatives and research within clinical settings. I am passionate about teaching, mentoring and empowering nursing students as they grow throughout the program and into their professional roles. Outside of nursing, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my husband and children.
