REPORT ON GIVING PAGE 26 AMESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Autumn spurs reflection on the way things change and the ways in which we adapt to change. At the School of Nursing, our 75-year history is a model for adapting. Nursing education, in its early years at the University, reflected the evolution of nursing practice. Today, our educational programs are designed to mirror the needs of the rapidly changing health care system. Our innovative educational programs are addressing the nursing shortage and meeting the needs of health care systems across the country. Tangible results are seen in our range of degree and certificate programs. Initiatives like our accelerated programs and our MS and PhD Dual Degree are examples. Our accelerated bach- elor’s program enables eligible college graduates to build on their past education and experience in a course of study that qualifies them for RN licensure in one year. The accelerated master’s program, which can be completed in three years, allows nurses a fast track for broadening their skills and enhancing career mobility. Our first class, 23 full-time and 10 part-time students, shows great potential to advance nursing practice with their fresh perspective and renewed desire for a career in which they can make a difference in the world. This fall we welcomed our first full class to the School’s innovative Dual Degree Program. This program attracts nurses who seek teaching and research opportunities early in their careers. Qualified nurses can earn their master’s and doctoral degrees in less than five years of full-time study in our unique program. When students complete the advanced practice master’s degree, they are eligible to sit for the national nurse practitioner certification exam.

3 Making a Longer Life Worth Living

Center’s Research is Focused on Improving the Quality of Life for the Elderly IT IS ONE THING TO LIVE LONG, YET ANOTHER TO LIVE LONG WITH DIGNITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE.

This challenge is the essence of the work around which The Center for Clinical Research on Aging is focused. The Center draws upon the rich resources of the University and the Rochester community to define and implement interdiscipli- nary research aimed at improving the quality of life of the elderly as well as their families and caregivers. “Through research we hope to improve our practice of patient care,” says Nancy M. Watson, PhD, RN, director of the School’s Center for Clinical Research on Aging (CCRA). “This center is crucial to advancing knowledge in geriatric nursing.”

Nancy M. Watson, CCRA, along with the Center for High-Risk PhD, RN Children and Youth and the Center for Clinical Trials, are integral components of the Center for Research and Evidence-Based Practice within the School of Nursing. Established in 1999, the Center builds on years of research in the School to improve the well being of older persons. Dating back to the early 1970s, School of Nursing researchers were among the first to demonstrate the value of interdisciplinary care planning for the chronically ill. Their work illustrated how all facets of care must be addressed to fully meet the needs of those with health problems, as well as those who care for and about them. A recent emphasis of research at the School has been on improving the care and quality of lives of persons living in nursing homes especially those with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias.

WIDESPREAD IMPACT AND RECOGNITION The Center’s work has already had a positive influence on the overall health and well being of the elderly in Rochester and beyond. Widespread dissemination of research findings by the faculty has influenced health care practice and policy at the national level. (See highlights of key research from the Center on page 7.)

5 their studies and research in geriatric nursing. Among them is the Center’s first post-doctoral fellow, Patricia Coleman, PhD, RN, APRN, BC, whose research is focused on oral care of nursing home residents. In separate achievements, The John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University selected three School faculty members for its Summer Nursing Research Program. JAHF Institute Geriatric Nursing Research Scholars and Fellows are selected for in-depth mentoring with nationally recognized gerontologic nursing researchers. Goals are to foster successful programs of gerontologic nursing research with significant implications for practice. Selected from the School were: Diane Mick, PhD, RN, one of three JAHF Institute for Geriatric Nursing Research Fellows; and Hong Li, PhD, RN, and Sally Norton, PhD, RN, two of 12 JAHF Institute for Geriatric Nursing Research Scholars. In addition, at last spring’s Eastern Nursing Research Society Annual Meeting in State College, PA, Norton received the JAHF Junior Faculty Researcher Award, recognizing outstanding contributions of a faculty member to geriatric nursing research who is within seven years of their post-doctoral work. Mick received the award in 2001.

Letter from the Alumni Office

It was a weekend to remember as the School of Nursing community of alumni, friends, faculty and staff turned out to celebrate another Reunion and Fall Weekend in style. The following pages depict the array of festivities held October 3-5, cele- brating the pioneers who paved the way for nursing education in the 21st century. The weekend commenced with the dedication of the Jane Ladd Gilman, ’42 Nursing Skills Lab honoring one of the early leaders in Rochester nursing and her dedication to the School over the years. Friends, family, alumni, faculty and students then gath- ered for a reception kicking off the celebratory weekend. Touring Strong Memorial Hospital and the new Emergency Department, alumni were able to see first hand how the commitment to patient care still remains a hallmark of Rochester nursing. Pamela Austin Thompson, MS ’79, addressed alumni, friends and faculty at the 44th annual Clare Dennison Memorial Lecture. A full house gathered with Dean Patricia Chiverton in Helen Wood Hall Lounge for the annual School of Nursing Luncheon celebrating the successes and highlights of the new programs and initiatives under way. The weekend closed with a Celebration of Life for those alumni and friends who have passed on as well as a Colonial Belle Boat Tour along the Erie Canal and Class Dinners at the Hutchison House. I sincerely want to thank everyone for their support in making this a wonderful weekend and salute the alumni and friends who were able to return to the School and connect with old friends. It was a pleasure to meet each of you and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Please save the date for Fall and Reunion Weekend 2003, September 18-20, 2003! Watch the SON web site for the complete schedule in the coming months at www.urmc.rochester.edu/son. I hope to see you then!

By Christopher Raimy, Director of Development and Major Gifts for Nursing

“From my earliest memory I always knew I wanted to be a nurse,” says Jane Curtiss Watkin BS ’44,’45 BS, RN, who this year decided to fund a Gift Annuity at the School of Nursing. She retired after working 40 years for Strong Memorial Hospital and the University of Rochester. Shortly after graduation, she contracted tuberculosis and after a two-year struggle back to health, she returned to the School of Nursing to work for Ms. Winona Abbott. Later she worked with Ms. Hanna Peterson in the Outpatient Department at Strong and eventually became Administrative Director of the Outpatient Department. She retired in 1985 and is enjoying sharing in the lives of her husband’s five children, 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Jane Watkin (right) with Dean Patricia Chiverton She and her husband Keith have been helping their family with education costs of their grandkids but they also believe strongly Jane Watkin, senior photo 1945 in supporting the U of R School of Nursing.

Jane funded a Gift Annuity at the School of Nursing and, at age 79, receives a guaranteed income of 8.6% in the form of quarterly payments from the University. During a visit with Dean Chiverton in August, Jane said, “I always felt I wanted to make an investment in the School that prepared me for a career I loved. I funded this gift with savings that were making less than 1% interest and some other funds that were performing very poorly after the downturn in the market. I felt I’ve wanted to invest in education and give back to the School of Nursing. With the market going down this seemed like a good opportunity. Besides, my mother lived to age 95 and I expect to live long enough to enjoy my annuity payments! This was really a very easy decision to make.” We welcome Jane as the newest member of the Eleanor Hall Society.

By Christina Mancini during first international trip Associate Director of Medical Alumni Relations

Spectacular scenery. Wonderful friendships. History, art, culture galore. Amazing food and wine – all the ingredients for an enjoyable travel experience. The 19 alumni and friends who took the jaunt to Tuscany are likely to rave about this recipe for some time. It was the first international alumni trip sponsored by the URMC Alumni Programs Office of Alumni Relations, and our time in Italia was “magnificato.” For eight glorious days, we traversed the Tuscan countryside, traveling to Siena, Assisi, Perugia, Montepulciano, Florence and other beautiful destinations. We were fortunate enough to call Pienza our home away from home. This charming, sleepy town has a population of 400 and was named after former resident Pope Pius III. English is a language familiar to all but known to few here, so body language and smiles were the common denominator. A friendlier town could not be found. And the wine and cheese made in this area of Tuscany were delicious! Although such entrees as “Wild Boar Stew” raised a few eyebrows, they were soon discovered to be a treat for the taste buds. Enticing entrees, delectable desserts, and wine, wine, wine were in order at every meal. Culinary delights were but one wonderful aspect of this trip. Seymour Schwartz, M.D. (R ’57), participated as the faculty enrichment lecturer. He gave several interesting lectures on map-making and on the history of surgery in Italy and the United States. While in Florence, our group had the opportunity to learn from his expert insight on Galileo’s globes. We also visited a vineyard, cathedrals and basilicas, including the basilica in Siena, where we saw Catherine of Siena’s actual preserved head, skin and all. About half the group also took advantage of the optional side trip to Rome. Alumni were from all three of the URMC’s schools-medicine, dentistry and nursing. Friendships grew throughout the week, and a post-trip party was planned for mid-July before we even left Italy!
