  • Who We Are Dean’S Welcome
    WHO WE ARE DEAN’S WELCOME Dear friends, This month I took part in my fifth year of graduation and commencement ceremonies at NYU as dean. What an excit- ing time! To see students work so hard and then finally walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, and, for many, enter a new stage in their lives, is the highlight of my year. We have prepared our recent graduates to become leaders at a critical moment in healthcare—a time to reimagine how best to deliver high-quality, affordable care. As nurses, we are uniquely positioned to develop and implement the inno- vation required to tackle this challenge, and more broadly, the world’s most pressing issues like poverty, mental health, climate change, chronic illness, substance abuse, and the effects of an aging population. We know our new graduates—the extraordinary class of 2017—will rise to the challenge. I hope you will join me in saluting them. In the spring issue of NYU Nursing, we are proud to STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY showcase who we are and you will: AND INCLUSION • Explore the US-China relationship and the two countries’ WELCOME. shared healthcare challenges; NEW YORK UNIVERSITY RORY MEYERS COLLEGE • OF NURSING is committed to the inclusion and Meet Assistant Professor Yzette Lanier, a developmental support of individuals and ideas from all who psychologist studying HIV behavioral intervention; comprise our multicultural community.

  • Alverno's Nursing Tradition
    Alverno’s Nursing Tradition: From Sacred Heart School of Nursing to the JoAnn McGrath School of Nursing September 22, 1930 - Today Alverno’s Nursing Tradition - The Sacred Heart Years To tell the story of the Alverno College School of Nursing, one has to step back in time and look at the nursing roots laid down by the School Sisters of Saint Francis. The School Sisters of Saint Francis established the Sacred Heart Sanitarium under the guidance of their foundress, Venerable Mother M. Alexia Hoell. Built on land adjacent to the School Sisters of Saint Francis St Joseph Convent, the sanitarium was located at 1545 South Layton Boulevard and opened December 1893. It would provide a vehicle to further the Sisters’ philosophy of ministering to the health needs of others. Alverno’s Nursing Tradition - The Sacred Heart Years Sisters, trained in the methods of nursing and ministering to the sick, would serve as the sanitarium’s nursing instructors. They would teach the young women entering the religious life and prepare them for the field of nursing. Mother M. Alexia was instrumental in bringing hydrotherapy techniques used in Europe to the sanitarium. Doctors were appointed to assist the Sisters in the nurses’ training process. Expansion and reorganization of the sanitarium’s medical therapy regime took place in 1902. Additional doctors, specializing in specific diseases and disorders, were appointed to the staff to help with the increased patient load. Patients with various types of ailments, ranging from physical to mental diseases, were coming to the sanitarium for treatments. Alverno’s Nursing Tradition - The Sacred Heart Years Mother M.

  • Nursing Practicum in Kenya 3
    THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, NURSING, & ALLIED SCIENCES SUMMER ‘12 Nursing practicum in Kenya 3 Student-athletes shine 4 Distinguished alumna offers advice 6 Workforce shortage addressed 8 1 Carla Gross, chair and associate professor Phone: 701-231-7772 E-mail: [email protected] a message from Carla Gross Th is is an exciting time for the nursing profession and nursing education. Since its inclusion in Gallop Poll’s survey of the trustworthiest professions 13 years ago, nursing topped the list for the 12th consecutive year. Other national movements reinforce the public’s trust in nurses. Our country is challenged to balance providing broader access to health care while controlling costs. Nurses will play a key role in addressing these challenges. Th e country relies on advanced practice nurses to meet the growing need for primary care providers. Recommendations in the Aff ordable Care Act (2010) and the Institute of Medicine’s report, “Th e Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health” (2010), call for nurses to assume greater leadership roles, collaborate fully with other disciplines and practice to the full extent of their education, training and scope of practice. NDSU is committed to preparing graduates who are up to the challenge. Faculty maintain a rigorous curriculum that meets educational regulations and needs of the practice arena. Both undergraduate and graduate curricula have been revised to meet standards outlined by our accrediting body, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the N.D. Board of Nursing. Th e department has been preparing for site visits from both entities this past year and a half.

  • CSU Fresno Student Memories
    FRESNO STATE NURSING STUDENT MEMORIES List any student nurse experiences you may remember and any faculty: Joan Fiorello was my master‘s level teacher and she was fabulous —April Aleman, Class of 1985 Student Nurse Experience I lived at home while I attended school. My education was financed by my parents, with a modest assist from me my senior year. Tuition cost about $35 a semester, and the general parking fee was $8. Initially our class was large, maybe 50 students. Everyone who applied to the nursing program was accepted; there were no restrictions other than meeting the admission requirements of the school. 21 students went on to graduate. Our student uniform was a blue pin striped shirt dress, and each student was measured individually by a representative from the uniform company (Barco, I think.) We wore white stockings, white shoes, and pants were not an option. At that time, no one in nursing wore pant suits. Our nursing cap was initially made of white organdy, but we replaced it after about a year with a ready made cap from Kay‘s Caps. None of us could wash and starch the organdy cap so it looked like the original. Lois Pisano, a classmate, designed both the nursing pin and the nursing badge. Our clinical experiences were held at the following hospitals: St. Agnes, Community, Fresno County, Kings View, and Valley Children‘s. —Pat Scheidt Austin , Class of 1962 My best experience was with the teacher watched me place an NC tube. The patient was moving and I got faint and the world went black.
