I recently shared my VN project at Virtual Health System Round Table, with 11 health systems (in and outside North Carolina), with attendees range from leaders of centers for innovation to C-suite, on June 20, 2025.
Clearly, the audience group is excited about the virtual nurse project, and I learnt from the audience about patient care equity and hospital financial evaluations in launching a technology program, such as Virtual Nursing.

I love plants and flowers. Recently, NC has been very hot, and I’ve been caring for my plants, rose bushes during the hot weather.
I’m working with my dog Ollie on more command trainings.

This May, I’ve got the first teaching award in my entire life, UNC Business School Latané Outstanding Student Teaching Award.
According to our PhD Program Coordinator Ali Parlaktürk, “This is a well-deserved honor–Blair did a fabulous job teaching BUSI 403, also served as teaching assistant for several key courses. I reached out to the instructors of those courses, and all enthusiastically supported her nomination.”
I’m so grateful for our Operations Area, all the faculties, lecturers, and prior PhD students for coaching me on teaching.
