Alexandra Maye, MSN, RN is a PhD candidate and NIH T32 predoctoral research fellow in the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research (CHOPR) at Penn Nursing. She is also a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Research Scholar (HPRS) and Dr. William Fontaine Society Fellow. Her research focuses on the nurse work environment, nurse burnout, safe nurse staffing, health care access, health policy, Medicare & Medicaid, and nursing resources within safety net hospitals.
Her research interests stem from her clinical work as a registered nurse in the cardiac catheterization lab and experience as a caregiver to her family. Maye plans to use her research to reduce disparities in health outcomes, improve clinician well-being, and inform health-related policy that fosters environments where nurses can thrive. She maintains clinical practice as a registered nurse working with the nursing team and interventional cardiologists to care for patients experiencing heart attacks and cardiac abnormalities. She earned a Master of Science in Nursing Leadership and Health Systems Management from Drexel University.
