After becoming a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP) she practiced in several settings: military health clinics, contraceptive management, and private OB/GYN practice. She has twenty years of experience as a nurse educator teaching both as a didactic and clinical instructor full and part-time with students in pediatrics, medical-surgical, peri-operative, and maternal-child clinical rotations in an ADN program.

Using the available evidence found in the literature, Dr. Knowles developed the Academic Clinical Nursing Instructor Preparation Course. The course was developed to be accessible anytime and anywhere to meet the needs of working nurses transitioning into the novice clinical nursing instructor role.
