Dr. Brenna Morse is an Associate Professor in the Solomont School of Nursing, Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. She also holds four board certifications: Nationally Certified School Nurse, Certified Nurse Educator, Pain Management Nurse, and Family Nurse Practitioner. Dr. Morse currently provides direct nursing care to children with chronic pain and complex conditions on a part-time basis outside of her duties as a faculty member. Dr. Morse conducts team and independent research related to pain in children in both the community and acute-care settings. She is also involved in quality improvement and original research aiming to improve experiences for children and families with complex conditions at Boston Children’s Hospital. In the community setting, she is recently conducting a study with parents of children with complex needs to: ascertain parents’ perceived characteristics of child pain experiences, determine the extent to which parents feel caregivers adequately address pain, and identify ways in which pain collaboration between parents and caregivers may be improved. She is now in the data collection phase for a study describing school nurse experiences during the COVID19 pandemic. Outside of her clinical research areas, Dr. Morse takes interest in examining theory-guided research and student success in nursing programs.
