Dr Skillen has worked as a public health nurse and nurse practitioner in Canada, and as a nurse researcher (community development) and regional nursing officer (public health services) in Colombia, South America. She taught advanced health assessment in Spanish to nurse-educators in partner faculties in Latin America.
