Pamela G. Watson RN, Scd Pamela G. Watson RN, ScD Dean and Professor, School of Nursing Rebecca Sealy Distinguished Centennial Chair UTMB Vice-President for Education School of Nursing Winter 2013 Newsletter Season’s Greetings Here we are amidst the holiday season as another calendar year draws to a close. 2013 has been an exciting year for UTMB School of Nursing. We have seen our largest graduating class ever, the first class of McGovern Scholars, initial accreditation of the new Doctor of Nursing Practice Program, and the addition of many new faculty and staff. There are many people whose work contributes to our school fulfilling its mission: faculty, staff, students, clinicians, members of the SON Advisory Council, our community, clinical partners and many more. I thank you all for your many contributions. Happy Holidays, Pamela G. Watson Dean and Professor, School of Nursing Rebecca Sealy Distinguished Centennial Chair UTMB Vice-President for Education Programmatic Achievements Doctor of Nursing Practice Program Granted Initial Accreditation Photo: DNP students slated to graduate in Spring 2014. Left to right - Sharon Marshall, Bushra Manakatt, Cathie Campbell, Sharisse Hebert, Aimee Jackson and Eva Blight The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) has granted initial accreditation to the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program after a review of the program on October 9-11, 2013. In a debrief on the final day of the evaluation, the CCNE evaluators were complimentary of the program, stating that all standards were met without any recommendations for improvement. They also noted that the program “shines” in its approach to clinical experiences. Accreditation has been granted through 2018, at which time the program will be reviewed again. Development of the DNP program began in 2008. The first class of DNP students entered http://son.utmb.edu/news/Winter2013News.htm[1/28/2014 8:20:18 AM] in Spring 2012 and are expected to graduate in Spring 2014.

Dr. Pamela G. Watson and representatives from each of the five institutions participating in the Graduate Nurse Education Demonstration (GNE) Project hosted a reception for members of congress at the Memorial Hermann Health System offices in Houston late this summer to discuss the progress of the project. The GNE Project is a $200 million project, funded through the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS), that aims to create a model of APRN training and funding intended to increase the number of advanced practice nurses (APRNs) who will provide primary, preventative, transitional, and chronic care and care management to the general public. The GNE model will be refined over the course of the project and thereafter will be formally presented to Congress with hopes of legislative adoption as a means to provide cost effective and readily accessible care to consumers. The five participating institutions include Texas Woman’s University–Houston, Prairie View A&M School of Nursing, Memorial Hermann, the University of Texas School of Nursing at Houston, and The University of Texas Medical Branch School of Nursing. http://www.memorialhermann.org/careers/graduate-nursing-education-demonstration/ Holiday Style Raises Over $150,000 for Honors Program Photo: Dr. Pamela G.
