Annual Report 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT Choose to be a Blessing | I II | Choose to be a Blessing MESSAGE FROM Students have been enjoying spacious classrooms designed with learning in mind. There are little nooks and crannies all over our 4th floor home THE PRESIDENT at Rock Valley College for students to refresh themselves between classes or work on group projects. Four group study rooms are available and in use the majority of evenings. The library has gone high-tech with almost every journal available electronically, but we still have stacks and a wall of reference books. Many students cannot afford to purchase texts, so there is high use of the course texts placed on room reserve. In addition to the simulation and clinical skills labs at Guilford Square, we now have a simulated hospital room, four simulated clinic rooms for the graduate students, a large health assessment lab for both undergraduate and graduate students and high-tech classrooms. We have also retained our Mission and Catholic Identity both in our demeanor and through dedicated space for religious art work and a meditation room. The move culminated with the blessing of our new space by the Bishop August 8. While busy relocating, we sustained focus on our main reason for being. Academics and clinical skill development remain our priority. Student retention and progression remain consistent with rates exceeding national averages. Our pass rates for NCLEX-RN and board certification exams also remain above national average as well – 92 percent and 100 percent, respectfully. Graduate students and faculty have been engaged in scholarship that advances patient care, population health and nursing education. Some have received awards for their work – more on that later in this report. Our Global Nursing Initiative is also alive and well. We continue to host Japanese nurse leaders on our campus and send faculty to Japan to prepare people as Clinical Nurse Leaders. In August, one of the participants in this program passed the CNL exam. Clearly, the college is helping to What an exciting year 2016-2017 advance nursing on a global scale. was! While conducting business The beginning of every academic year brings the feeling that so much as usual, we sorted through a is possible. To that end, we are exploring ways to expand our academic programming and enrich our relationships with alumni, loyal supporters hundred years of history, packed and the community. My wish list is created each August 1, and this year up the college and moved into it includes creating a tutoring center for students, creating a teaching enhancement center for faculty and connecting with each person who is our new location. The sadness interested in SACN. of leaving one home filled with I am excited to begin my third year working with the college, and proud memories has been joined by the to share some of our successes. I hope you enjoy reading this report. Most joy of creating a new home filled importantly, I would like to invite you to come to the college for a visit! with new opportunities. Regards, Sandie Soldwisch Choose to be a Blessing | 1 MESSAGE FROM The OSF Healthcare Saint Anthony College of Nursing graduate program has had another excellent year in our endeavor to prepare future nursing THE DEAN OF leaders, educators and practitioners. Last year at this time we were waiting for formal notification of the College DNP program’s Commission on THE GRADUATE Collegiate Nursing Education accreditation. I am happy to share that we did PROGRAM receive that notification in fall 2016. Once again we had many exciting moments as students completed their graduate studies! In December, two faculty members completed their Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, Christine Krause and Libby Myers. Both completed projects in partnership with their respective communities aimed at improving health outcomes in asthma care and in promoting healthy behaviors. Three additional DNP graduates completed in May, one of whom is faculty – Lori Compton. The two other DNP graduates, Kim McCullough and Fiona Okoroti, presented their projects at national conferences. We had seven Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) graduates as well, consisting of six family nurse practitioner (FNP) graduates and one nurse educator graduate. To date, all practitioner graduates who have taken required board examinations have passed those exams. Student numbers continue at a steady pace in the college’s graduate program. The DNP program, launched in summer 2014, continues to grow, with 42 students currently enrolled. There are 24 students enrolled in the College MSN program. In all, we count among our numbers students from a range that stretches from Mendota, Illinois, to southern Wisconsin. We have also been blessed this year with the addition of a new faculty member. Mary Doyle, PhD, RN, a local nursing leader and consultant, has joined the faculty as an adjunct clinical assistant professor. She is currently teaching in the DNP program. Her experience in nursing leadership will foster learning and growth in our DNP students. In summary, this has been a wonderful and productive year for the graduate department. I am thankful for the opportunity to serve Saint Anthony College of Nursing. Respectfully, Shannon K. Lizer, PhD, FNP-BC, FAANP Dean, Graduate Program & Research 2 | Choose to be a Blessing MESSAGE FROM The 2016-17 academic year will go down as the year of change. After classes were complete in the spring semester all energy moved THE DEAN OF THE towards the move to the new Health Science Center on the Rock Valley College campus. The new space is beautiful and quite a change from UNDERGRADUATE the basement classrooms in the East State Street campus. We are now PROGRAM surrounded by walls of windows with great views of the campus and surrounding neighborhood. What does not change is our commitment to providing the best undergraduate nursing education in the area. Our undergraduate program continues to have strong outcomes with the highest pass rate in town for first-time takers of the NCLEX-RN exam in 2016. Our pass rate was 92 percent, well above the state and national rates of 85 percent. For first quarter 2017, our pass rate was 100 percent, reflecting the quality of our December 2016 graduatves. The second quarter 2017 pass rate was 97 percent, which says a lot about the successes of our May 2017 graduates. Our new RN to BSN curriculum – started in October 2016 – continues to be implemented. Current students are happy with the hybrid approach to each course, while some have asked for more face-to-face meetings. Face-to-face class meetings and individual appointments with faculty are the types of opportunities that set our program apart from online programs. There continues to be an opportunity for more enrollment in this program. We invite you to see our new space and join with us in enthusiasm over the great things Saint Anthony College of Nursing brings to the community. Beth Carson, EdD, RN, CNE Dean Undergraduate Affairs Choose to be a Blessing | 3 CHOOSE TO BE A BLESSING In August 2015, we selected “Choose to be a Blessing” as our theme for the next two years. The theme embodies how we as faculty, students, nurses and people engage the world. We make the choice every day to be a blessing to the people with whom we interact. We seek to better ourselves so that we are more equipped to improve the lives of those we are called to serve. 4 | Choose to be a Blessing GREAT HEALTH CARE IS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE Our Global Nursing Initiative continues to serve January 13-16, 2017 as an excellent example of our efforts to improve The President of our Japanese partner school – the Japanese Red Cross health care not just in our own backyard, but Kyushu International College of Nursing – and two nursing faculty everywhere.

They did some shadowing at OSF Saint Anthony and asked Christine Krause questions about the work of a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. August 2017 Akemi Kijima becomes the first non-American educated person to achieve Clinical Nurse Leader certification.

Nurse A British nurse caring for a baby in 2006 Occupation Names Nurse Occupation type Healthcare professional Activity sectors Nursing, Health care Description Competencies Caring for general well-being of patients Education required Qualifications in terms of statutory regulations according to national, state, or provincial legislation in each country Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Nurses practice in a wide diversity of practice areas with a different scope of practice and level of prescriber authority in each. Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this traditional role has come to shape the historic public image of nurses as care providers. However, nurses are permitted by most jurisdictions to practice independently in a variety of settings depending on training level. In the postwar period, nurse education has undergone a process of diversification towards advanced and specialized credentials, and many of the traditional regulations and provider roles are changing. Nurses develop a plan of care, working collaboratively with physicians, therapists, the patient, the patient's family and other team members, that focuses on treating illness to improve quality of life. In the U.S. (and increasingly the United Kingdom), advanced practice nurses, such as clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners, diagnose health problems and prescribe medications and other therapies, depending on individual state regulations.

  • Comparison of the Home Care System for the Elderly in Japan and Korea: Towards an Advanced Home Care System
    Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing (2001) Vol. 31, No. 7 Comparison of the Home Care System for the Elderly in Japan and Korea: Towards an Advanced Home Care System Jeung-im Kim, RN, PhD1, Sachiyo Murashima, PhD, RN, PHN2 The purpose of this study is to provide the directions for the further development of the home care services in Korea, through comparison of the home care system and visiting nursing activities for the elderly in Japan and with those of Korea. The results of this study were summarised as follows: The major difference between the two countries was that Japan emphasised the development of home services by visiting nurse service stations (VNSS), especially in the community. In contrast, Korea has emphasised provid- ing hospital based home care services and assuring the quality of services through the preparation of home care nurses before beginning services. And many elderly in Korea have used a public health center when they have health problems. According to the result, the establishment of a VNSS system and activation of a public health center in the com- munity must be considered as the direction to advance home care systems for the elderly. Key Words: Home care; Elderly; Korea; Japan toward a home care system (HCS) for the elderly more INTRODUCTION pressing and has triggered the need for changes to make the health care system more available and more conve- The number of elders in the population is increasing all nient in both countries. over the world; it first occurred in Europe, and now also The most prominent change of the care environment has become a reality in Asia.

  • Greetings from the Dean of the Graduate School of Nursing
    Greetings from the Dean of the Graduate School of Nursing The Faculty of Nursing was established in April 2015, and the first graduates spread their wings to take their places in the society in March 2019. In April of the same year, the Graduate School of Nursing's day/evening master’s program and doctoral program were established. The campus of the Faculty of Nursing and Graduate School of Nursing is located on Port Island in the city of Kobe, where a wide variety of projects in advanced healthcare are currently underway. Thus, our goal is to promote educational and research activities that take advantage of the area’s unique characteristics. The term “community of practice” refers to a group of individuals who share similar interests, issues, and enthusiasm about a particular topic and develop their knowledge and skills through continuous mutual exchange. On the basis of this concept, we believe that students from the Faculty and Graduate School will establish a learning community where students from all years and courses learn nursing skills from one another. The incorporation of the reciprocal teaching methods will enable us to maintain coherence, consistency, and effective continuity of the education that we offer. By incorporating these educational methods, the Graduate School of Nursing aims to develop nursing models that support community health and medical care and to train specialized nurses, educators, and researchers for these models. We encourage you to consider acquiring abilities that can be applied in practice, developing nursing skills to support people in the community, and working toward the advancement of nursing studies in the Graduate School of Nursing at Kobe Women's University.

Nishida, MSN, CNM Patricia D’ Antonio PhD, RN, FAAN The leadership at St. Luke’s International Hospital and its nurse training program were very vocal about being a state of the art medical facility that sought through its nurse training program to raise the quality of nursing education and practice in Japan. They very clearly sought to reproduce American styled nursing education at St. Luke’s. To achieve this they brought nurses from the United States to teach and manage the nurse training program and brought Japanese nurses from Japan to the United States for post graduate studies and observation experiences.
