Lucas Alan Manning, DNP, RN

Coordinator, Simulation

Assistant Professor

I obtained my Practical Nursing Certificate and License in 2009, and began working as an Acute Rehab nurse. While working in acute rehab I completed my associate's degree in nursing and obtained my Registered Nurse license in 2011.  I continued working on the acute rehab unit for one year as an RN. I moved to the Omaha area in May 2012, where I began working on an inpatient medical surgical- telemetry unit.  In December of 2012, I began working in the Emergency Department, as an ER/Trauma nurse and I remained working in the ER until 2018. I also have clinical experience in pediatrics and case management. I have worked as a full-time nursing faculty member since 2016.  I joined Creighton University College of Nursing as the simulation lab coordinator and instructor in June of 2020. I received my certification as a simulation educator in 2022. I completed my Doctorate of Nursing Practice, with a focus on Publc Health Policy, in 2023. My doctoral project focused on improving food donations for a midwestern suburb within a food desert.
