My name is Lesslie Bull, and I am the lead instructor for NURS 4305: Maternal & Newborn Nursing Care. I also co-teach NURS 3512: Nursing Pathophysiology & Pharmacology as well as NURS 3325: Health Assessment.

I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2010 with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and began my career as a pediatric emergency nurse at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. I later transitioned into women’s health at a small rural hospital in Clinton, Oklahoma, where I practiced labor & delivery, antepartum, and postpartum care.

I went on to earn my Master of Science in Nurse-Midwifery from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in 2018 and practiced as an APRN in women’s health here in Stephenville for four years. I also served as a sub-investigator for Javara Research, participating in nationwide clinical trials evaluating emerging drugs and vaccines.

I completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at Arkansas State University in 2025 and remain passionate about nursing education, competency-based curriculum design, and improving student learning experiences.

Outside of nursing my husband, Wes, and I have been married since 2010 and we have four children—Eli, Brooklyn, Wyatt, and Ellington. We enjoy camping, traveling, and keeping up with all of our kids’ sports and after-school activities.

I am also an avid reader and long-distance runner, having completed a 50K trail run, three full marathons, more than 30 half marathons, and countless 5Ks and 10Ks. My goal is to run at least a half-marathon in all 50 states! When I am not running, you can almost always find me with a book (or kindle) in hand—my personal record is 366 books in one year—and I especially enjoy romance and thriller genres.

I look forward to meeting and getting to know each of you and am excited to support you on your educational journey.
