Laura Reckamp MSN ’15 transitioned into her current position as assistant professor of nursing
with the help of the late Trudy Dewaters, who held the position before her. As a student here,
Reckamp counted Dewaters as a mentor.
“And now, I’m truly honored and blessed to teach at North Park,” Reckamp said.
Previously, Reckamp has worked as an advanced practice nurse for several major hospital
systems, including Northwestern and Endeavour Health. Her nursing background is mainly in
emergency nursing and neurology and neurosurgery.
In addition to teaching, Reckamp, a certified stroke nurse, works one day a week at an outpatient stroke clinic and is pursuing her doctorate of nursing practice degree at North Park.
