Bio

Dr. Tasker-Weaver became Director of the nursing in 2017. Susan has diverse clinical experience as a critical care/emergency/trauma nurse for over 15 years as well as five years in nursing administration. Additionally, Dr. Tasker-Weaver has an advanced practice nursing license in psychiatric-mental health nursing and is board certified as an individual/family nurse psychotherapist since 1992. She was Co-Founder/Director and therapist of an out-patient mental health facility Covenant Counseling Ministries, Inc. (CCM) located in Cumberland, MD.

Often working two jobs simultaneously, Susan has been a nurse educator for over 35 years. She was employed as Professor of Nursing at Allegany College of Maryland for over 20 years, was an adjunct faculty in the graduate online nursing program at Liberty University for five years and was employed for three years at Frostburg State University. In addition to her nursing education, Susan also attended Zion Bible Institute in East Providence, RI with a focus on missions and was mentored by Dr. Richard Dobbins at Emerge Ministries, Inc. through the Institute of Pastoral Counseling (IPC) program located in Akron, OH.

Dr. Susie, as her students refer to her, was always involved with youth – from teaching Sunday School classes to Fine Arts Festivals (FAF) and as a nurse at youth camps. She and her husband Dale are involved in the SEU community as well as their church home at Victory Church. They have four adult children and seven grandchildren located in Maryland, Virginia, and New York.

It has been Dr. Susie’s dream for Southeastern to have a nursing program preparing the next generation to meet the healthcare needs of individuals, families, and communities (locally & globally) because nurses are in a unique position to accomplish those tasks as they rely upon the Holy Spirit and the call of the Lord as written in Luke 4:18.
