Tordis Tróndarson earned her MSc in Nursing from Aarhus University as part of the first group of students in the Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) programme. She now teaches at the University of the Faroe Islands and is a PhD student working to develop a Master's programme in APN tailored to Faroese health care needs.
As a lecturer, she has focused on fundamental nursing and integrating the fundamentals of nursing framework into the curriculum to ensure core principles remain central to nursing education. Additionally, as a facilitator for simulation-based training, she strives to bridge the gap between theory and practice, enhancing students' clinical skills.
Her PhD project is a collaborative effort involving the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), the University of the Faroe Islands, and the Faroese Nurses Association. Through this partnership, they aim to establish a sustainable APN Master's programme that meets the evolving health care needs of the Faroese community.
