By the establishment of this structured contact with each family, the physi­ cians affirm my role and the fact that I provide at least the same level of preventive care that they do. Since CMG is a setting in which all families may chose their caregiv­ er, it is a privilege and a testimony to the acceptance of the role of NP that I am as fully booked for pre­ ventive and specialty care as the physicians for both day and evening sessions.

I have developed a specialization in the assessment and management of attention and learning problems within my practice. This enhances my role recognition, since the pedi­ atricians directly refer patients to me for this specialized care. It vali­ dates my expertise and allows CMG to provide services within the practice without referring families to outside, unfa miliar specialists. In truly collaborative fashion, I am able to refer to or consult with sev­ eral of the pediatricians who have specialties in hematology, cardiolo­ gy, pulmonary, and sports med i­ cine.

To the Community of the School of Nursing

It is my pleasure to announce the reappointment of Ca therine Gi ll iss as Dean of the School of Nursing for a second fi ve-year term, effecti ve July 1, 2003.

Under Dean Gilliss's leadership, the School has continued to strengthen its programs of research and doctoral education, maintained its excellent teaching programs across a range of nursing specialties, and undertaken an exciting new collaboration with Howard University. Dean Gi lliss's involvement in the national nursing community has raised the vis­ ibility and reputation of the School, wruch has helped our efforts to recruit outstanding fac­ ulty and students.

In my conversations with nearly forty members of the faculty, I was deeply impressed with the shared energy and passion for the School of Nursing and its mission. The School is for­ tunate that its faculty, staff, students, and alumnae/i are so strongly committed to its contin­ ued success in the years to come.

Sincerely yours, Ri chard C. Levin

16 YSN Remembers September11, continued

Night Train The train bumps along its lonely track, as I size up my fellow passengers. There are only four of us tonight and we will all be getting o. ff at the same stop. This will be my second trip to New Yo rk City, ever. When I was twelve I saw the usual sights; awe-inspiring buildings. I imagine it will be much different this time as I stare into the tights rushing by my window.

It has been a hectic day. Our morning class was interrupted by awful news, a plane crash. Classmates with loved ones in New York reveal themselves by rushing out of the room to make phone calls, while the rest of us flock to the only TV available. Class is cancelled for the rest of the day, buildings collapse; and I... I know I am going there. It takes me all day to figure out a way to get to New York, but eventually I am aboard this eleven-a-dock train with a classmate and two volunteer firefighters. Seeing that we are potential relief workers, the conductor agrees to take us all the way to Grand Central Station. He turns off the tights for us and tells us to sleep. Everyone is dozing, but I am wide-awake contemplating what I am doing. Why am I going? Willi be able to help? Is this dangerous? Is this a naive venture that is way over my head? Soon we are there, the conductor wishes us luck, and we step into Grand Central and make our way to the subway. The smell of the subway is odd. There are a few people around who seem to be conducting business as usual. We get as close as we can on the subway, which leaves us with about a three-mile walk. We start walking fast. It's nearly 1 am now and we are in New York City. We come to the first of many roadblocks, which is easily passed with a brief explanation. Emergency vehicles and utility trucks rush by and pay no attention to us. Another roadblock which requires more talking and some sort of ID. Having virtually no proof of why I should be there, I pull out my Yale ID in a last ditch effort. It seems to work and they let us pass. Now the streets and buildings appear to be empty. We are walking through a ghost town. For blocks at a time, power outages leave us in the dark. At this point we can see smoke, and lots of light from up ahead. It looks and sounds almost like a stadium in the distance, as we can start to hear deep rumbling. There is a very serious looking roadblock one block ahead. We decide to tum and avoid it, doubting that our IDs will work again. For awhile we follow the two fi remen around to various roadblocks. Since I have no connection there any­ way, I am unsure of what I will do even if I am able to get past the block. Finally, my classmate and I decide to approach. We walk up and casually tell them we are nere to help and flash our ID again and miraculous­ ly they let us pass. After another block or two, we start to see changes. Dust lines the street and sidewalk. Cars are smashed by pieces of concrete. As we get closer still, the dust in the air starts to make my eyes water and I notice that it is difficult to get a breath of air. We are given masks and told to go to the high school where we can help with the EMS crew. It's a noisy walk now, among generators, trucks and workers yelling and directing. The dust is an inch thick now and lies like light gray snow everywhere. After getting directions to the high school, we finally arrive one block away from ground zero. It's nearly 2 am. We step inside the high school and the world of EMS lies before us. EMTs, firefighters, paramedics, and an assort­ ment of other personnel busily work with purpose as we stand there, in the way. There is a huge area set up for food and water and Gatorade right as we walk in. We take a look around, hoping that we can find out what to do, where to help. There is a darkened gymnasium upstairs that has scattered sleeping firemen and other rooms with a few people having conversations. My classmate decides to take a nap (its 2 am).

On the main floor of the high school, a small makeshift ED is set up and I ask if I can help. I am introduced to the staff consisting of two doctors, four medical students, three nurses, and one paramedic and I am given the job of assessing firemen as they come in for routine checks. Groups of 1-12 would come in at a time. After vital signs and a listen to lung sounds, I send them to eye irrigation where the dust is removed from their eyes. Less than half had goggles, some had no dust mask. Some needed nebulizer treatments. Others were severely dehydrated. What struck me most was that often this was the first time these men sat down. This was the first time they had a chance to process what was going on here. Everyone looked swollen under their eyes, almost bulging from holding the inevitable rush of tears back. Others could cry no more, as the dust and tears formed a sort of crust on their cheeks. Huge firemen were crying on my shoul­ der and I felt helpless. What was I supposed to do? The only thing I could think to do was look straight in their eyes and try to relate, which seemed impossible. I had brougnt my stethoscope, my emergency med­ ical kit, and knowledge from the varied emergency medical training I have been through. I felt sharp in my skills and keen at recognizing life threats. None of that was useful except that it allowed me to occupy myself with something other than the reality of the situation. I didn't need training for this. I just needed to be there, nodding my head and saying, "It's okay...... lt's okay."

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Thank you to all who, once again, put the Yale School of Nursing ahead of all the graduate and professional schools at Yale in our participation in Annual Fund giving. Fifty one percent (51%) of thousands of YSN nurses (79 years of history) contributed over $150,000 toward scholarships for students.

You've just received your YSN fall update, di.rectl y from the Dean, which goes to all YSN graduates. (Please do let us know if you did not receive a letter!) After the Dean's letter last year, many YSN grads became newly involved in the Annual Fund and we hope that will happen again. The early growth of the Annual Fund is so supportive to YSN, to the Dean (from whom you receive thanks directly), and to the Class Agents who are dedi­ cated to keeping their colleagues involved in YSN.

And speaking of Class Agents.... we know that the system is not perfect and we often hear your frustrations. We know that there are too many letters from confusing Yale/ YSN sources which focus primarily on your generosi­ ty (which we really treasure), but which miss opportunities to maintain connections and relationships. There are YSN classes with Class Agents who maintain old friendships and collegial relationships, but there are classes without Agents at all!

We know that the YSN experience has changed, with the growing numbers of students, as well as with the many levels of specialization. But we want our alumnae/ ito remember and retain the strong ties that are built during the years here at YSN. Not only is it important for scholarships and Annual Fund giving, it is important fo r reunions, continuing education, and the networking which can be personally and professionally invaluable.

The YSN Task Force (see separate article) is reviewing the broad questions of our Alumnae/i Association and Board. We are more specificall y looking at the definition and role of Class Agents and systems for better, deeper, more permanent relationships among YSN alums and to the school itself. We want to make the system work better. We want to hear about your experiences and frustrations and get your ideas about how to make this structure work better for you and for YSN.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, both fiscal and intellectual. Please take advantage of the Annual Fund 2002-2003 return card and envelope you received in the mail to make an early contribution.

Best wishes fo r a Happy and Healthy New Year,

Nina Adams [email protected]

19 Alumnae/i Association Task Force

By Carol Ann Wetmore '94, President, YUSNAA

The Yale School of Nursing Alumnae/ i Association (YUSNAA) exists to support the mission of YSN. The function and purpose of the YUSNAA, as stated in the bylaws, is to further mzd strengthe11 the irzter­ ests of YSN, to promote professiorzal standards and education adva11cement of llllrsing, and to promote fellowship amo11g our graduates.

During the past year, we have engaged in preliminary discussions about the most effective ways for the Alumnae/ i Association to support the SchooL We believe that some of our national and international alumnae/i are not well represented in the current structure and operations of the Alumnae/i Association and Board. Additionally, we know that many of Yale's professional schools have undertaken similar reviews and recently modified their alumni association and board structure and operations for similar reasons. We believe it is time to address these questions.

To that end, we solicited suggestions from the current Alumnae/i Association Board members for alum­ nae/ito participate on a Task Force to examine these issues. The Task Force, comprised of six noted alumnae representing varying generations and geographic locations, has been charged to recommend an approach to structure the operations of the Alumnae/i Association and its Board. We have had three meetings to date and anticipate a final meeting to present the recommendations in April, 2003.

Specifically, the Task Force will address the following questions:

• What should the role of an alumnae/i association be in providing advice to the School?

• How can an alumnae/i association best represent the fu ll range of its members in its relations to the School?

• How can the activities of an alumnae I i association best be supported by the School to strengthen the relationship between a group of diverse alumnae/i and the School?

• How can the Board of the alumnae/i association best carry out its executive functions on behalf of a diverse group of alumnae/i?

We are very grateful for the time and expertise that the Task Force is contributing to this important effort and we acknowledge their participation:

More Than 60 People Certified in CPR at Emergency Nursing Team Workshop

By Mei-Ling Smith '04

This fa ll, over 60 people-many of them incoming GEPNs-were CPR cer­ tified at a workshop held by the Emergency Nursing Team, a YSN stu­ dent interest group that organizes events to enhance emergency skills and knowledge. Last spring, the group put together a workshop where students learned lV starts and phlebotomy. Due to the success of these events and student demand for increased ED skills and experience, the Team is currently planning workshops for suturing, casting and splint­ ing, EKG and X-ray interpretation, and additional IV / phlebotomy train­ ing. The group is also looking into events focusing on wilderness medi­ cine, as many people have expressed an interest in this topic.

The Emergency Nursing Team supports supplementing interested stu­ dents' curricula with education and experience in emergency care. "We want to offer students the opportunity to pursue their interests in emer­ gency care, whether that means attending a workshop or d oing a rota­ tion in the Adult or Pediatric ED," commented Aaron Huston '04, one of the students who helps coordinate the group.

The Emergency Nursing Team is led by YSN students in all years and specialties, with faculty input. For more information or to get involved, Georgmm Jolmsoll (R) practzced 011 email em [email protected]. Chris Keatmg.
