Linda Goodman

Dr. Linda Goodman has been a registered nurse for 32 years on the Johns Hopkins Bayview Campus. The first 19 years were spent in Neonatal Intensive Care as the Advanced Clinical Nurse Educator. Linda received her Associate Degree in Nursing from Essex Community College and her Bachelor Degree in Nursing and Master of Science in Nursing Education from the University of Maryland.

Dr. Linda moved to a campus-wide education role in 2001 as a Nursing Professional Development Specialist and has held ANCC certification in Nursing Professional Development for the past 10 years. She is the Senior Clinical Administrator of the on-line learning management system for Johns Hopkins Bayview. She serves on many campus-wide committees covering diverse topics including regulatory compliance, point-of-care laboratory testing, and patient care policy. Linda has served on the Fall/Restraints Advisory Committee for the past 14 years and took over as chairperson 3 years ago. She is also a member of the Fall Prevention Strategic Committee that focuses on preventing falls in the community.

In this capacity she began a campaign to decrease falls across the Bayview campus. This campaign led to the focus on fall reduction in the difficult gero-psych unit that had more falls than the rest of the campus combined. Our success soon evolved into our campus-wide Quest for Zero Falls program.
