After being appointed director of the university's nursing programme in 2010, she oversaw nursing's transition to full school status and became head of school in 2013. Under her leadership the Massey University School of Nursing has been the top-ranked nursing faculty for research quality in successive Performance Based Research Fund quality evaluation rounds.{{Cite web|url=https://www.tec.govt.nz/funding/funding-and-performance/funding/fund-finder/performance-based-research-fund/pbrf-2018-quality-evaluation-interim-results/quality-evaluation-results-by-teo-and-subject/#/|title=Quality Evaluation results by TEO and subject}}

As chair she oversaw the complete redesign of nursing regulation in New Zealand following the passage of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003. She was also honorary colonel-commandant of the Royal New Zealand Nursing Corps from 2005 to 2016, and has held a variety of national and international roles, including membership of the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal, the 2018 Performance Based Research Fund health panel, and the editorial board of The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research.
