Alumni Spotlight: Dr. Tatiana Laitano, DNP, MBA, RN
We were so honored to have Dr. Laitano, a 2023 graduate of our Accelerated BSN program, speak at our induction ceremony. She inspired everyone in the room!
Her path to nursing is a unique one. Tatiana trained as a physician in her home country of Honduras, then moved to Indiana and worked as a clinical researcher at the IU School of Medicine. After earning her MBA from IUβs Kelley School of Business, she chose to start a new career in nursing right here at AU.
In just three years, she has gone from oncology bedside nurse to Oncology Operations Manager at Hancock Health, where she also leads the organizationβs partnership with the Mayo Clinic Care Network. She recently earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice in Executive Leadership from IU, serves as an adjunct graduate nursing faculty member, and is a 2026 AARP Indiana Legislative Fellow and a passionate bilingual advocate for underserved communities.
Thank you for coming back to share your story with our sophomores, Tatiana. We are so proud to call you a Raven! Tatiana Laitano
