Her interest in risk management led to a decision to pursue a doctorate in health administration.  Her dissertation study focused on the nursing process as a factor in allegations against nurses involved in malpractice lawsuits.

Dr. Johnson has taught nursing at many levels, including practical nursing, associate degree nursing, baccalaureate degree nursing, and graduate degree nursing levels.  Her clinical practice has taken her from the Midwest to the Pacific islands and now to Florida.  She has been involved in teaching legal nurse consulting for Florida Atlantic University since 2011.
