Aimee Watts

MSN, RN

Clinical Instructor

Instructor Watts joined the UConn School of Nursing faculty as a clinical instructor in August 2024. She previously taught at Goodwin University and Curry College and has extensive clinical experience as a Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) in the pre-operative area at Hartford Hospital. From 2006 to 2019, she worked as a registered nurse with specialties in emergency medicine, oncology, hospice care, and venous access.

Her love for teaching began early in her career as a preceptor to new nurses, which inspired her to pursue a master’s degree in nursing education from Post University (2024). She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from UConn (2006) and maintains active licensure as a registered nurse in Connecticut. She considers it a privilege to teach the art and science of nursing and believes in creating a supportive, student-centered learning environment that encourages growth, confidence, and professional integrity. She looks forward to continuing to contribute through teaching, service, and ongoing professional growth.
