Message from the Dean

Dear friends, I’m pleased to share our newest issue of Innovations in Nursing & Health with you today. This year’s issue features many inspirational stories about the people and teams who are impacting health in positive ways. Some of their roads were not easy, requiring self-reflection, focus, and even a change of course. As I read their stories, I was reminded that we are all students of life, always able to appreciate and learn from the experiences of others. Some of the major themes in this issue that I think you’ll enjoy include leadership, inclusion, partnership, collaboration and compassion. As health professionals, whether we’re providing bedside care, advancing use-inspired research, leading organizations and teams, or developing innovative solutions to improve health outcomes, compassion--and the desire to understand another person’s struggle--are often at the core of what drive us to do our important work every day. You will read about compassion in a number of our stories, such as Stephanie Holman’s decision to pay it forward as a new nurse (pg. 6), David Coon’s lifelong dedication to Alzheimer’s disease research (pg. 10), and Pamela Wadsworth’s PhD dissertation about the wellbeing of female sexual assault victims (pg. 11). The quickly-changing healthcare landscape keeps us on our toes as more people enter the system and practice models and payment systems change. It seems that being a lifelong learner is more than simply an option in healthcare, it’s a path to success. Adair Turner’s journey underscores that a mix of our current strengths and the knowledge (and confidence) we gain in a master’s program can be a powerful catalyst for professional achievement (pg. 12). Our associate dean, Kathy Kenny, who is a role model for lifelong learning, will soon be inducted as a Fellow by the American Academy of Nursing (pg.17). Interprofessionalism is growing stronger every day at the College of Nursing & Health Innovation. I’m proud to announce that the Center for Advancing Interprofessional Practice, Education and Research will soon be launched (pg. 18). As I welcome new students to the college each semester, I tell them that they will learn to bring innovative thinking, a collaborative mindset, and evidence-based decision making to every aspect of health and healthcare. Our new center will focus on new teaching models and many other valuable initiatives to ensure that collaboration is part of every student’s professional toolkit.

Many of our colleagues have answered the call to lead, each in their own way using their unique gifts. Chris Lyons shares her international adventures in community health in this year’s Alumni Profile (pg.14). Jennifer Bonilla, a graduate of our Master of Healthcare Innovation program, serves proudly as the CEO of a leading outsourcing company while teaching future leaders in our MHI program (pg. 23). And two of my wonderful faculty colleagues, Angela Allen and Carol Stevens, are actively shaping the future of nursing by serving as presidents of two nursing associations (pg. 7). ASU’s Charter states that we will be measured not by whom we exclude, but rather by whom we include and how they succeed. As nurses and healthcare professionals, we understand this. As teachers, students and researchers, we know that it often takes a village to create communities of health, and teamwork to develop the practitioners who will lead the charge. Students Jesus Nava (pg. 4), Olin Yarberry (pg. 9), Lei-Lani White (pg 16), and Jackie Kasnot (pg. 19) demonstrate that dreams plus determination--supported by that village--can reap success. I hope you enjoy reading this year’s Innovations in Nursing & Health. I wish you the best today and throughout the year.

Despite Obstacles,

ASU Nursing Grad Stays Focused on his Career Dream

hen Jesus Nava was 11 years old, he watched helplessly as his father suffered a ruptured appendix and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. “That started my passion for nursing,” he said. “If something happens, I want to be there for my family and for my loved ones. I want to be able to help people.” In 2012, Nava realized his dream, graduating with his BSN degree from Arizona State University’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation, but the journey was scattered with roadblocks. Through hard work and unwavering dedication, Nava was able to go the distance. As a child growing up in Mexico, Nava and his family frequently traveled to the United States to visit relatives in Arizona. On one visit, when Nava was 9 years old, his father decided the family should stay in Arizona so that Nava and his sister could learn English, and then go home to resume their lives. But instead of returning to Mexico, the family remained in Arizona. “My parents decided that everyone was better off here with more opportunities,” he said. Settling into his new life in the United States, Nava attended elementary school and middle school, and then graduated from Cesar Chavez High School in Laveen with a 4.5 grade point average. “Before I graduated, my counselor said, ‘I’m going to get you a full-ride scholarship.’” Facing a very bright future, Nava enrolled at ASU. Shortly before he started classes, Arizona voters passed Proposition 300, which requires college students who are not legal U.S. citizens to pay out-of-state tuition, rendering them ineligible for financial assistance using state monies. That news sent Nava into a tailspin.

“How am I going to go to school?” he recalled thinking. Through private scholarship funds, Nava was able to receive most of his tuition money based on his GPA and performing community service. He wasn’t able to secure a scholarship for his final semester and finished his nursing degree owing the university close to $14,000.

He was able to obtain a social security number through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an act administered by the Department of Homeland Security that allows certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several guidelines to request deferred action for two years, subject to renewal.

While going to school full time, Nava also worked for his father making furniture and cared for his then infant son. “I would only sleep two hours a night,” he said. “Sometimes I would fall asleep between classes for 40 minutes on the couches at school. I did overnighters studying for tests. I did whatever I had to do.”

Nava took a job as a case manager for Southwest Key Programs, an organization that shelters immigrant unaccompanied minors, and paid ASU monthly for two years until his debt was erased and he could finally pick up his diploma.

After graduating from the nursing program, Nava’s first order of business was to pay off his debt to the university. But because of his immigration status, he didn’t have a social security number and couldn’t get a job or register for the NCLEX-RN licensing exam.

Innovations in Nursing & Health

With his social security number in hand, Nava registered for the NCLEX-RN exam in early 2015, and began studying. After passing the test, he will be required to take a refresher course and complete 160 clinical hours because he’s been out of nursing school for more than three years. Since he works full time as a case manager, he will take an

Valley to oversee his clinical hours.

For others who are pursuing their dreams, but find obstacles in their way, Nava offers this advice: “When you think it’s going to get worse, that’s an opportunity to really show who you are. That’s one more reason to push harder and it will only make you stronger.”

Nava is eager to begin his nursing career and hopes to work in a hospital setting as a psych nurse or possibly in emergency or critical care. “I feel a little nervous because I’ve been out of school and doing other jobs rather than nursing,

Local Youth “Discover Nursing” at Arizona State University

lassrooms, hallways and lobbies at the College of Nursing & Health Innovation were buzzing with activity this summer as the college hosted a two-week program for 9th grade students from across Arizona called “Discover Nursing: Do you have what it takes?” The program, presented in collaboration with the Barrett Summer Scholars program, set out to engage students in learning and hands-on activities tailored to give them a sense of what it’s like to be a nurse. A team composed of college faculty, students, the Simulation Learning Resource team, and Community Engagement for Health facilitated presentations and activities. Students were provided with an overview of nursing education, specialty areas and practice settings. Interactive discussions addressed communication, personal boundaries, trust and vulnerability as they pertain to nursing practice. Students had a chance to meet Dean Teri Pipe, participate in a blindfolded trust walk, learn to take a pulse and blood pressure, and listen to heart and lung sounds. CPR and first aid instruction was provided,

and students earned certificates. The students also learned about global health concerns and worked in small groups to create posters depicting the causes and potential solutions for these issues. Three days were spent in the Simulation Lab actively participating in a hands-on simulation scenario and debrief, and creating a montage. Students assisted each other with transfers from a bed to a chair, learned what it felt like to be transported in a wheelchair and how to assist a blind person with eating.

A few student comments on the program evaluation included: “ A wonderful experience and you learn so much. You get the actual feeling of what it’s like to be a nurse.” “ It showed us both the fun and difficult parts of being a nurse.” “ I felt more aware of the nursing career and it made me want to be a part of it even more.”

ASU Nursing Grad Promotes Hospital Procedure Change to Improve Neonate Health Outcomes

hen Stephanie Holman’s husband was critically injured and rushed to the ICU several years ago, the nurses cared for him around the clock, treating him with compassion, respect and dignity. Not only did the nurses provide excellent care to her husband, they provided excellent care to her. “One evening my husband’s nurse observed me sleeping in the waiting room,” she said. “She approached me and invited me to stay with my husband at his bedside in the ICU. Being present in his room was a remarkable gift. It brought me peace of mind and comfort knowing I could be next to him.” While the experience made Holman feel vulnerable and completely reliant on other people, something she was not accustomed to, she also learned about the positive impact that nurses can have on patients and their families, including the lasting impact it had on her. “The care provided by these incredible nurses empowered me to dedicate my life to others,” she said about her decision to become a nurse. “I want to pay it forward by advocating and caring for patients during their time of need.” Holman graduated in May with her BSN degree through ASU’s Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP), passed her NCLEX-RN exam in June, and started a new job as a med-surgery nurse with HonorHealth in August. The 21-month CEP program allows eligible students to earn an associate degree at one of the Maricopa Community Colleges while earning a BSN degree though ASU’s online RN-to-BSN program. “The students have a very heavy course load as a result, so the work Stephanie put in was quite impressive,”

Innovations in Nursing & Health

said Heidi Sanborn, Clinical Assistant Professor with ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation. Holman selected Mesa Community College and ASU’s CEP program because she learned that they are considered top nursing schools in the community by nursing and healthcare professionals. One of the best advantages of the program, Holman said, was the opportunity to graduate with her BSN degree. “ASU has prepared me to take on a leadership role, opened up my mind to creative and innovative problem solving, exposed me to global issues, made me aware of several evidence based practice topics, and has made me passionate to promote change within the community,” she said. Holman’s capstone project allowed her to use her critical thinking and leadership skills to make a difference on a large scale for the most vulnerable of patients. As a student nurse at Chandler Regional Medical Center, Holman proposed a procedure change designed to improve health outcomes for neonates. “They supported her work, and eventually allowed her to present her change to the nurses on one of their two impacted units,” Sanborn said. “Her work was being used as the starting point for a planned policy change.” According to Holman, the procedure change—delaying neonate baths to 24 hours postpartum, can significantly decrease life threatening complications, while also reducing nursing interventions, hospital resources, NICU admissions, and hospital re-admissions. Holman set out to educate the nurses about the complication of hypothermia in neonates due to removal of the vernix caseosa. She presented the clinical issue, potential

I want to pay it forward by advocating and caring for patients during their time of need.” complications, evidence-based practice recommendations, and long-term benefits of delaying the neonate bath until after the vernix has been absorbed by the baby’s body. Elizabeth Crandall is a labor and delivery nurse at Chandler Regional Medical Center, as well as a clinical nursing instructor at Mesa Community College. She supported Holman’s capstone and helped her get her project in front of the hospital’s major stakeholders.

“Her capstone project actually came at a key time,” Crandall said. “Chandler Regional Medical Center was reviewing evidence based practice and evaluating how we could implement delayed infant bathing.” The nurses who attended Holman’s presentation were very interested in the resources she provided, and agreed that delaying the neonate bath was a positive practice which should be implemented. Two other hospitals have since expressed interest in the procedure. Holman’s idea would involve a significant practice change, Crandall said. “While it may seem simple on the surface, it involves rearranging workflow and utilizing personnel in new ways,” she said. “Stephanie’s project emphasized the

evidence based reasons and the benefits that this could provide to our most vulnerable population, our newborns.” While she is encouraged by the positive momentum, Holman believes that reaching out to a variety of additional stakeholders and gaining their involvement will be an important next step, including parents, OB offices, nursing associations, and hospital administrators and their boards. “A simple intervention of delaying the initial neonate bath has the potential to make a tremendous positive impact within the neonate population,” Holman said. “This leads to a healthier neonate population, happier parents, and improves patient satisfaction rates--making this project a win-win for all parties involved.”

ASU Professors Shape the Future of Nursing and Health

through Association Leadership

“I believe that Arizona, especially ASU, gives great opportunities to those who are seeking culturally diverse learning environments, but we often lose minority students due to the lack of mentorship and guidance” she said. Allen hopes to engage and sustain student members, especially minority students who are non-residents of Arizona, and ultimately improve the quality of life of persons who share the African American heritage and other ethnic groups.

wo faculty members in the ASU College of Nursing & Health Innovation have taken on leadership roles in the community by serving as presidents of local nursing associations. Angela Allen, clinical instructor, serves as the president of the Black Nurses Association of the Greater Phoenix Area (BNAGPA), and Carol Stevens, clinical associate professor, serves as the president of the Arizona Nurses Association (AzNA). As president of the BNAGPA for the past 4 years, Angela Allen has served as the executive officer and official representative of the association. She is the chair of the executive board, presides over all official association meetings, and provides guidance and direction on the association’s programming.

As president of AzNA since 2013, Carol Stevens leads the statewide organization that represents all nurses in Arizona. The AzNA works to advance the nursing profession, providing opportunities for nurses to advocate for nursing, patients and healthier communities. The AzNA fosters high standards of nursing practice and provides educational advancement opportunities to Arizona’s registered nurses. “With the evolving paradigm shift in healthcare, Arizona nurses have an unparalleled opportunity to shape the future of healthcare in Arizona,” she said. “I see AzNA as playing a crucial part in leading this charge.” Stevens looks forward to serving a second term as president and representing AzNA as its champion to advance professional nursing. She will focus on nurse staffing, professional practice and mentoring models, member engagement, and increased opportunities for nurses to be involved in advocacy.

Scholarship Recipient Motivated TO SE RVE OTH E R S AN D I NSPI R E H IS CH I LDR E N TH ROUG H E DUCATION

hen Olin Yarberry graduates with his BSN degree in December, his accomplishment will signify a new beginning for him and his three children.

Yarberry began working at the age of 14 to help his single mother make ends meet, became a father himself at 17 and a single father soon after, juggled two jobs when necessary to pay the bills, and then accepted a full-time position with the state Department of Corrections in order to provide health insurance for his children. But the prison environment was turning him into a person he didn’t recognize. “I spent nine years working in maximum custody units across the state,” Yarberry said. “After seeing six suicides, four homicides and being in numerous violent altercations, I decided I could not continue to work in the violent atmosphere for the next eleven years. I resigned in October of 2011.” During his time with the state, Yarberry was able to save some money so that he could go back to school. He decided to pursue nursing at Arizona State University. “My nursing ambition is based on public service and helping those who cannot help themselves in their time of sickness,” he said. “I have been driven toward community service since I was a teenager. My strongest drive in becoming a nurse was the idea of spending year after year helping someone’s child, dad, mom, sister or brother become stronger and healthier through the healing process of nursing.” Yarberry’s aunt graduated from ASU’s College of Nursing in the 1970s, and provided over forty years of service in the military, public sector and the private sector of nursing, he said. “She was the biggest influence in selecting ASU for my nursing education,” he said. “Also, the partnership with the Maricopa Community Colleges has made my education inexpensive and less complicated with the CEP program.”

The CEP program allows qualified students to earn their two year degree from a Maricopa Community College and their baccalaureate degree from ASU concurrently in two years. “Without this program I would have to wait and graduate from the community college, and then start my bachelor’s degree program shortly after,” he said. “This would add an additional two to three years after earning my associate’s degree.” He also chose ASU because of its reputation for producing excellent nurses, he said. Yarberry knew that completing his degree and becoming a successful nurse would involve some financial challenges. “I have three children I provide for full-time,” he said. “This makes it a little more difficult on me from a financial standpoint.” Earlier this year Yarberry became the recipient of the Sharon L. Thorson Endowed Nursing Scholarship, which provides juniors and seniors in the nursing program with tuition assistance. Yarberry realizes how fortunate he has been to receive this award. “Receiving scholarship money will ease the burden of applying for student loans for this semester and future semesters,” he said. “This financial assistance goes beyond any words, I am beyond grateful.” After graduating with his BSN degree in December, Yarberry would like to gain experience as a nurse at the County hospital or the VA Medical Center. He also plans to earn his master’s degree in nursing from ASU and become involved in community or public health nursing. “The most important goal in all my endeavors is to graduate from ASU and show my children what hard work, determination and persistence will achieve,” he said. “I want to show them that education is the key to achieving happiness and fulfilling our goals.”

EXPLORING MUSIC & MEMORY:

An Interprofessional Partnership in Care

The study took place at Huger, a 48-bed assisted living facility in Phoenix under the auspices of Barrow Neurological Institute, which provides directed care for persons living with ADRD. Huger residents and staff, family members of the Huger residents, and musicians from the Phoenix Symphony were research participants. In addition, the musicians helped create the project’s music events. The first phase of the study included a series of focus groups to determine how music might impact the residents with dementia, their family caregivers, the staff and the musicians. After conducting a review of the literature and obtaining Institutional Review Board approval, the research team began with a goal of measuring mood and behavior immediately before and after music-based events.

r. David W. Coon, associate dean and professor at ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation, has been tackling Alzheimer’s disease research since early in his career. Coon’s latest project grew out his involvement with the Arizona Alzheimer’s Consortium led by Eric Reiman, Executive Director of the Banner Alzheimer Institute and University Professor of Neuroscience at ASU. Last year, Reiman convened a meeting connecting Coon, The Phoenix Symphony, and other interested colleagues to begin developing and implementing a pilot study of music’s impact on people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). The symphony’s interest in ADRD is reflected in its recent award from the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation to develop The B-Sharp Music Wellness, a W.O.N.D.E.R. Project: Alzheimer’s Expansion Pilot Initiative program. Key investigators with Coon on the project team were Marianne McCarthy, associate professor at the College of Nursing & Health Innovation (pictured above); Robin Rio, associate professor of Music Therapy in the School of Music at the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts; Lisa O’Toole, manager of Huger Mercy Living Center; and Michael Todd and Darya McClain, associate research professors in the College of Nursing & Health Innovation.

Innovations in Nursing & Health

The measures included resident emotional well-being and behavior as well as the emotional well-being of caregivers, staff, and the musicians. Over a six-week period, groups of symphony musician volunteers went to Huger to play for the residents. ASU music therapy students, a DNP nursing student, and Huger staff members assisted during the music events, many of which took place in the residents’ cottages. In most cases, residents became actively involved, dancing, clapping, tapping a drum, or singing. Initial results showed significant increases in positive mood and reductions in negative mood before and after music events. Musicians, staff, and residents submitted to saliva tests at different time points across the project to measure certain biomarkers that indicate behavioral arousal, both positive and negative. Coon reported that while the results are preliminary, changes in biomarkers appear related to positive energetic mood. The results also suggest that music may have enabled the residents to better regulate their stress response before and after a stressful event, such as showering. “One of the most fascinating pieces to me was watching these relationships develop between musicians and the individuals who are on the journey of dementia,” Coon said. “To see that connection happen, to observe music as a vehicle to help trigger long-term memories and bridge gaps in the moment, and to connect to someone in a way when they’ve struggled to connect—all that is pretty powerful.”

FEMALE SEXUAL ASSAULT – WELLBEING AND AWARENESS

Focus of PhD Grad’s Doctoral Dissertation

hen Pam Wadsworth started her PhD dissertation about the wellbeing of female sexual assault victims, many people warned her that recruiting women for the study would be difficult. She was told that nobody would want to talk about the subject. But that didn’t deter her. She set up a website to recruit women, and then a reporter in a neighboring Michigan town wrote an article about her research. “My voicemail was flooded with women who wanted to talk,” she said.

In August of this year, Wadsworth received her PhD in Nursing and Healthcare Innovation from ASU. Her dissertation was titled “A Constructivist Grounded Theory Exploration of Wellbeing in Female Adult Sexual Assault Victims/Survivors.” She also holds a master’s degree from ASU with a concentration in women’s health nursing. Before Wadsworth decided to pursue nursing, she was interested in women’s studies and planned to become a midwife. “I went a slightly different path,” she said. “I decided to become a women’s health nurse practitioner instead.” She has since spent more than 15 years working as a nurse practitioner in labor and delivery, women’s health and cardiology. She also served as a sexual assault nurse examiner and noticed gaps in the way women received care after an assault. “We would care for them physically and mentally, but there was no help for the spaces in between that affected the women, such as in their jobs and their relationships,” she said. “So I wanted to fill in some of that information.” Through her website, and as a result of the newspaper article, Wadsworth was able to recruit 22 participants, 21 of whom had received long term counseling following their sexual abuse, which is rare, Wadsworth said. “Most people don’t get counseling.” While interviewing the women, Wadsworth focused on the concept of wellbeing after sexual assault, including the barriers to and facilitators of improving wellbeing. “What I found--women were affected in every area of their lives, and that decades later they were still really affected,” she said. Some of the women shared that when they sought help from their churches, they were accused of lying about the

assault or rebuffed by their ministers because they didn’t want to talk about it, she said. “Some women lost their faith and faith communities,” she said. Others, when they sought help, were blamed or told they deserved the abuse because they put themselves at risk by drinking or didn’t actively fight against the assault. Several women haven’t been able to have or sustain sexual relationships since their assaults. Women in committed relationships reported sexual abuse by partners. Her study showed that rapes and assaults by people the victim knew, including husbands and boyfriends, involved more violence than rapes by strangers. “I had several women who were assaulted for years in their marriages. They just thought it was something that happened (in a marriage).” Much of the research previously conducted has focused almost exclusively on college and university women, Wadsworth said, but many of the women in her study were factory workers and had never been to college. “I think we’re neglecting that outside of college population,” she said. With her dissertation behind her, Wadsworth hopes to take the research back to her community and educate others about sexual assault resources for women. One of the ways to increase awareness is by placing informational flyers in work places and doctor’s offices, she said. One of the local organizations in her community that does counseling is now collaborating with area churches. “I think that’s a really important place to work with the community to educate them about what sexual assault actually looks like and how common it is.”

CRM Alum’s Skills, Vision Benefit Growing Life Science Company

hen Adair Turner graduated from Rutgers University in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in Communications, she thought she would gravitate to a career in public relations. Yet, the growing pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in her home state of New Jersey, and their need for clinical research professionals, steered her in a different direction. With her communications background and willingness to blaze new trails, Turner landed a full-time temporary job as a regulatory affairs associate. “I was at the right place at the right time,” she said. Turner organized materials, managed case report forms, and coordinated the company’s submissions to the Food and Drug Administration, which allowed her to learn the technical and operational side of the business, she said. At that time, submissions to the FDA for clinical trials were paperbased, a big job, Turner said. She worked closely with chemists, researchers, manufacturers, statisticians, and others--each who contributed to the reports she processed. Her communications background was a valuable asset, allowing her to work with these stakeholders to translate, edit and manage the materials for their final submissions.

“I loved working with all of the different types of people,” she said. “I was intimidated at first since they are mostly PhDs, but I learned quickly that I had an aptitude for communicating what was required by regulations and how to organize information, and I think the scientists respected that.” When Turner decided it was time to go to graduate school, she felt she would benefit most by gaining contentspecific information related to the clinical regulatory industry. She discovered ASU’s Clinical Research Management (CRM) program, an online master’s degree program that prepares students to understand the fiscal, ethical and regulatory aspects of clinical research, and the management of clinical trials.

After entering the industry as an associate, Turner moved into management roles, which took her from New Jersey to Arizona and back again, until she accepted her current position in 2011 as Director of Regulatory and Clinical Operations with arivis, an information management company that provides integrated solutions for life science companies, including regulatory operations support and cloud-based clinical trial submission management. “I was hired for my current job partly because of the CRM program,” she said. “We had a client who needed help organizing clinical trial documentation in preparation of an FDA inspection and I was able to manage the project because of my clinical operations knowledge. I also helped to build our electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) software and services offering, and now we are one of the main providers in the life sciences industry.” Turner met Dirk Beth, managing director at arivis, back in 2006 when she was working as an associate for OrthoLogic in Phoenix. When she left OrthoLogic, she did some consulting work for Beth, and when it came time to do her master’s capstone project, she needed a mentor and contacted Beth. Turner’s capstone project described a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) in regulatory information management, and included a CEA case study of Beth’s company’s regulatory software implementation at Ventana Medical Systems, she said. Beth provided her with information on the company’s software and introduced her to the regulatory people that she needed to interview at Ventana, she said. Six months after graduation, he offered her a full time job. “Adair realized that there could be great value in end-toend connected information in the highly complex pharmaceutical product development process,” Beth said. “Her vision aligned with ours and we saw someone who could help us realize this greater view with our clients.”

Turner graduated with her CRM degree in 2010 as a member of the program’s first cohort.

Having someone with Turner’s combination of communication skills and regulatory knowledge is a great benefit to the company, Beth said.

“Adair has become a leader in her field,” said Sandra Shire, clinical associate professor in the CRM program. “She has stayed connected to ASU with support of our academic programs, served as a guest lecturer for one of our courses, and has provided our students with internship opportunities.”

“Companies like ours are very process oriented, he said. “How, what and when we communicate internally and with our clients is critical and Adair fully understands this. She is continually improving our processes and the way we work with our customers.”

Members of China Cohort Share Perspectives of Healthcare

hen deciding on a career, Lu Zheng chose healthcare because she knew the demand for health professions would never fade. As a nursing student in China, she found the medical information interesting and believed it would equip her with very useful skills--especially the ability to take care of people in need and reduce their pain, something that made her feel valuable. Zheng’s perspective on healthcare and her ability to create impact has come a long way in a short time. The Master of Healthcare Innovation (MHI) program at ASU welcomed Zheng and four fellow graduate students from China in the fall of 2014 for the first ever on-ground international cohort for the College of Nursing & Health Innovation. The Chinese students completed their undergraduate degrees in various disciplines--from biochemical engineering to nursing, through Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Xi’an Jiaotong University in China. The students then completed one year of online studies with the MHI program starting in the fall of 2013, followed by one year on-campus at ASU. During their final two semesters in the program, the cohort lived on campus at ASU and engaged in student life, while continuing their studies in the MHI program and taking coursework in a variety of subject areas across the university. The students graduated with their MHI degrees in the spring of 2015. “Having the students on campus gave all of us an opportunity to exchange ideas and perspectives of healthcare delivery,” said Cathy Lalley, Interim Director of Healthcare Innovation programs at ASU. “We were able to tell of our experience of healthcare as consumers and as innovation leaders in order to improve healthcare around the world.” Lalley explained that cross-cultural learning is a benefit for all students enrolled in the program. She shared how

several of the Chinese students noticed that patients and providers in the U.S. collaborated to determine a patient’s plan of care, something the students said they had not experienced in China. “Once this practice pattern was identified in a discussion, students explained their experiences of healthcare and they all identified ways to improve care in China and the United States,” she said. Zheng and her peers also had a chance to explore American culture. On breaks, they traveled to the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York. The students also had an opportunity to participate in college events, such as the college’s annual Dream, Discover, Deliver event. Their 8-week internship at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale was a highlight for the students. They were provided with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience through an internship that was tailored to each of their professional interests and experiences. “I witnessed the practical utilization of innovative tools and management methods which originated from staff members’ ideas,” Zheng said. “This was an exciting and new experience for me.” Looking forward, Zheng is most interested in providing effective measures and information that will help prevent illness, which she said is the best way to eliminate suffering and save medical resources for society. For her capstone project, Zheng developed a smart phone application that provides patients and their families with practical information and instructions for streamlined outpatient medical care. “I am placing more attention on new patterns in the healthcare system, which combines with new mobile technology to broaden access to healthcare services,” she said. “Cutting-edge mobile technologies could catalyze the healthcare process and bring the greatest benefit for patients with limited resources.”

Alumni Profile

with CONHI Alumna Chris Lyons, MS (‘99), BSN (‘93) Why did you want to become a nurse? My mother was a registered nurse and I loved how she looked in her uniform, like a hero! She was trained in a hospital diploma program in Indiana and worked as a public health nurse for a time. The family moved to Phoenix and she went to work at St. Joseph’s hospital as a labor and delivery nurse. She loved her specialty and often shared lovely stories about the babies. I have fond memories of the Sisters of Charity who ran the hospital at the time and visiting mom at the hospital. I found the environment both exciting and comfortable. I was attracted to the science of nursing, but intrigued by the “art” of applying that science to improving the health and well-being of an individual.

After working in patient care for several years, you came to ASU to explore a new direction. How did that change things? I had more or less decided that I was in need of a big change. My entire professional experience had been in the hospital—and I was getting burned out. I loved working with patients but was drawn to health promotion and wellness. In those days associate degree programs prepared nurses to work in a hospital, not in community health, so I was considering a psychology degree. I had been working with an ASU nursing advisor who made me promise to meet with one of the faculty before I made up my mind to switch majors. I kept my promise and met with a brilliant woman who would become instrumental in my professional development. Her name was Dr. Ellamae Branstetter. She told me that there were many opportunities that I was unaware of, but first I needed to complete my BSN.

Innovations in Nursing & Health

Chris Lyons (center) in the mid ‘90s with her CONHI Community Health Services team.

Community health has always been important to you. Tell us about that. My love for community health started when I experienced it first-hand with my return to ASU nursing. The BSN program required a community health clinical experience along with the coursework. In the Town of Guadalupe, my chosen site, I made home visits to patients of the local clinic, and learned how to work with individuals in their own environments with the resources available to them. I was faced with a lot of challenges but great feelings of satisfaction with the work. Dr. Branstetter had asked me if I was interested in working part-time, and gave me the name of my future boss, mentor, and friend, Elizabeth Holman, RN, MS, director of the Community Health Services clinic, the college’s nursemanaged primary care clinic. I performed health screenings, marketed clinic services, worked with clinic staff, community resources and other healthcare providers to support the healthcare needs of our patients. Of course, my activities changed considerably over the 18+ years that I worked there, with my last four years serving as the clinic’s director.

You decided to take your nursing talents into the military. What did you learn about teamwork and leadership? The breadth and depth of my experiences in the clinic prepared me for my entry into the Air Force, and the leadership and humanitarian opportunities I would encounter. In fact, if I hadn’t returned to ASU and gone to work at the clinic, I wouldn’t have had a military career at all! One day, a BSN student was doing her rotation at the clinic and she shared with me that she was a reservist. We talked, she encouraged me to contact her chief nurse, and I decided, “Why not?” The rest is history! The student graduated and

of smiling, laughing and pictures would ensue whether we were in Asia, Africa or Central America.

An ASU nurse that I knew from my BSN program had the same idea. We joined together, worked together, and recently retired together—what a ride we had. The military became my second family--it’s hard to explain how that happens, but it does. We work so closely together on our weekends and annual tours, and we form strong bonds. Some tours can be very emotionally, spiritually, and physically taxing, but we are in it together, working together and supporting each other until the work is done. As a nurse officer, we have leadership and command responsibilities. As a professional nurse, we are respected for our knowledge and skills and expected to share those talents by training others, while providing care to patients—whoever and wherever they are.

What remains with me from those tours is how much alike we all are—as individuals and professionals. We care about others. A smile evokes a smile, a touch connects two people from very different cultures and countries, and you don’t need to understand the language to know that someone has said “Thank you.” While the minimal services that we offered at our traveling clinics didn’t seem to be enough in our minds, the people receiving the care were happy and appreciative. It was a humbling experience. Working alongside health professionals, social workers, and the military of other countries was inspiring. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve – it was an honor.

I was fortunate enough to participate in a few humanitarian tours with the Air Force as a member of traveling health clinics with military doctors, nurses, technicians, and dentists. Sometimes we even had doctors and nurses from the visiting country’s government with us. It’s enlightening to speak with health professionals from other countries and hear their perspectives and practices. After the earthquakes in El Salvador several years ago, I went down to work with a traveling clinic. The differences in healthcare infrastructure are sometimes startling. We had a tour of the local hospital where I saw they were disinfecting and reusing catheters and using old-style equipment for many lab and clinical procedures. We are so fortunate in this country, and we take a great deal for granted.

Chris Lyons’ experiences have prepared her for her current role with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health. As the Nurse Healthcare Coordinator for the Office of Preparedness and Response, she builds partnerships with Maricopa County’s healthcare stakeholders to facilitate response plan development, disaster training and exercises, disease surveillance, and more. She is currently involved in three different projects that address issues for different types of emergencies. Get prepared and get involved! Your professional nursing talents are needed to build disaster-resilient communities! Chris is looking for licensed nurses to volunteer.

How did your cross-cultural experiences broaden your perspective of community?

Calling all ASU alumni nurses and healthcare professionals!

What I’ve come to understand from all of my experiences is that the definition of a community is as flexible as the definition of a family—it is what you define it to be. Given that, we as individuals belong to multiple, overlapping “communities,” and any one of them can support a meaningful personal connection. That was never more evident to me than when I worked with health professionals in other countries. When I met foreign nurses on our military tours, we had an immediate bond. Nothing else mattered but that we were nurses! We were so excited and would desperately try to converse despite the language barriers. Lots

ASU Nursing Grad Achieves her Dreams with ASUN Scholarship and Support

usiness owner. Scientist. Dentist. Social worker. Everyone gets asked what they want to be when they grow up. For Lei-Lani White, the answer was easy – she wanted to be a pediatric nurse. White knew at a young age that she wanted to make a difference in people’s lives and improve the health of children. When it came time to decide where to go to college, she knew she wanted to stay close to home. For White, home was Arizona. She had heard many good things about ASU, and she felt comfort knowing she would have friends and family nearby when she left home for the first time to go to college. As a young Native American, she also knew that ASU had a strong Native American program, which was an important factor in her decision.

In order to increase the number of qualified, educated and trained health care professionals, the ASUN Project requires students to work at an IHS health facility for three or four years following graduation, depending on the duration of their scholarship. IHS has a significant health professional shortage, including nurses, which means job placement for ASUN students is 100% guaranteed. White was one of the lucky recipients of the ASUN scholarship. Not only did the scholarship cover her tuition, it reimbursed her for her books and supplies. It also provided her with a stipend to use for living expenses so that she could focus on her studies.

White was accepted into the undergraduate (BSN) nursing program with ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation. As she explored scholarships and programs for Native American students, she found the American Indian Students United for Nursing (ASUN) Project.

When times get hard, or students get stressed or homesick, the ASUN office at ASU provides support. ASUN staff provide students with access to computers, mentoring, tutoring services, tailgating parties, dinners, special gatherings, and much more. They are available to provide assistance in any way possible to help nursing students get through college.

Funded by a grant from Indian Health Service (IHS), the ASUN Project provides scholarships to promising American Indian/Alaskan Native students pursuing a career in nursing and health. IHS is the primary Federal agency responsible for delivering health care services to American Indians in the U.S.

Ten years after earning her BSN degree, White returned to ASU to pursue her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree and specialize in pediatric nursing, an advanced practice nursing degree that would allow her to fulfill her childhood dream of helping kids.

Innovations in Nursing & Health

While she pursued her DNP degree, she also worked in the ASUN office as a nurse mentor. She helped with recruitment efforts, participated in community networking events, and enjoyed meetings and cultural events hosted by ASUN. As a role model, she coached what she lived and experienced. “For anyone attending college for the first time, I tell them the main thing is not to stress the little stuff and take care of yourself,” she said. “Eat well and sleep well, because it can affect your academic performance. Find a mentor and get involved. Everything is about balance.” With her DNP completed, White now works in a pediatric primary care office in Mesa, Arizona where she provides care for young patients--from newborns up to 18 years of age. She loves her profession and her clinical practice, and continues to remain close to the ASU community through volunteer work at the Native American Alumni Association. As the Association’s incoming president, she is excited to

welcome more alumni into the Association and encourage them to get involved in alumni events. White is a member of a team of clinicians who are developing new models of improved care delivery for children. They are focused on decreasing health care costs, improving provider satisfaction and increasing access to health care. She is excited about the future of nursing and her ability to create impact as more advanced practice nurses fill the growing need for primary care providers, especially those in interprofessional settings. “Improving care delivery for children will require a multidisciplinary approach that includes physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, care coordinators, and other specialists working together,” she said. “An educated, diverse workforce that provides evidence-based care will ensure that children receive the highest level of care necessary.”

ASU Nursing Professor Inducted as Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing

he ASU College of Nursing & Health Innovation is proud to announce that Katherine Kenny, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, was selected for induction as a Fellow by the American Academy of Nursing. Kenny is one of only two Arizona nurses who will be inducted with 163 nurse leaders from across the country during the Academy’s 2015 Transforming Health, Driving Policy Conference to be held on October 17, 2015, in Washington, DC. Fellowship in the Academy is highly selective and is considered one of the highest honors in the country for the nursing profession. Kenny was selected because of her leadership in nurse education, national reputation as a nurse practitioner, interdisciplinary student mentorship, participation in health policy arenas, and her commitment to the advancement of innovation and interprofessionalism in nursing education. “Dr. Kenny’s leadership in the nursing profession is seen most clearly in her passion for innovation in nurse education,” said Teri Pipe, dean of the College of Nursing & Health

Innovation. “Her commitment to innovation and collaboration as a means to improve patient care delivery can be felt by her students, mentees, research partners, colleagues and patients. She is a visionary who inspires others, and for that, we are grateful.” Kenny is celebrating her 40th year as a registered nurse and 20th year as a certified adult nurse practitioner with an uninterrupted career as a clinician, leader, and educator. Kenny has been awarded $1.4 million in HRSA funding. She is the recipient of Preceptor of the Year (2006), AANP’s Outstanding Practice Abstract Award (2009), Outstanding DNP Faculty Award (2012), and was inducted as a Fellow of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners in 2013. The American Academy of Nursing is comprised of more than 2,300 nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy, and research. Academy fellows include hospital and government administrators, college deans and renowned scientific researchers.

ASU’s New Interprofessional Center puts Collaboration at the Center of Health Care By Gerri Lamb, PhD, RN, FAAN Director, Center for Advancing Interprofessional Practice, Education and Research Gerri.Lamb@asu.edu

aunching a new center in the midst of so many changes in health care is exciting. As we move from vision to planning to impact, prepare to experience a center that is different from interprofessional centers that have been around for years. We’ll have the opportunity to create our own model that reflects our strengths at ASU—one that evolves with the needs of our academic, clinical and research partners. Currently there is a lot of experimentation nationally with different teamwork models and combinations of team members. We’d like to explore what models work best for different patient populations, and learn what provides an excellent patient experience. In 2010, the World Health Organization stated that interprofessional education occurs “when students from two or more professions learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.” We’re very fortunate to have outstanding collaborators across ASU and the academic and health care communities who have joined us on our interprofessional journey. Our new center will welcome all-comers who want to work together on teamwork education, team-based processes of care such as care coordination or population-based care, as well as research designed to improve team-based education methods and care delivery. We’re currently exploring different center models to support broad engagement and provide value to all participants. Our health professions students have been working for quite some time with students from many different colleges and programs, including architecture and engineering, which are often overlooked in the growing interprofessional dialogue. For the last several years, I’ve had the amazing experience of traveling to Africa and Australia with students from our Design, Nursing & Health Innovation, and Health Solutions programs. Students learn from each other as they design facilities matched to community need and culture, often referring to the interprofessional component as life changing. These are the kinds of experiences we want to expand. The center will facilitate the continued growth of our interprofessional initiatives already underway between our college and our academic and clinical partners, such as our collaborative study abroad programs. We are also testing new ways to teach teamwork and collaboration through simulation, distance education, and team-based clinical practice. We’ve partnered with faculty from AT Still University to launch faculty

Innovations in Nursing & Health

development workshops in interprofessional education. With our partners from ASU’s School of Social Work and the University of Arizona’s (Phoenix-based) Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy, we introduced a new primary care teaching model that includes faculty interprofessional coaches and distance modules in team-based decision-making. This work has been made possible with generous grants from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation and the Arizona Graduate Nursing Education Project, led by HonorHealth. Our relationships with our clinical partners are critical to the center’s success. On a national level, there is considerable focus on connecting education and practice. The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education refers to this connecting point as the “Nexus.” Making meaningful and lasting connections between education and practice is key to preparing a future health care workforce for new and emerging delivery models that aim to increase quality and manage costs. We’re working closely with clinical partners, like the Wesley Clinic, to provide team-based clinical experiences for students and current practitioners. Our Nursing and Healthcare Innovation PhD students, including nurses and students from several other disciplines, have also shared their interest in developing programs of research around teamwork and patient outcomes. Our first year will be a time of trying out different ways to structure our collaborative think-tank. It’s important to create an inclusive, flexible model. Our partners will--and should-expect us to practice what we’re preaching about teamwork and collaboration. I find it ironic that we still tend to create hierarchical and traditional structures at the same time we talk about flexible teamwork and leadership. The good news for us at the College of Nursing & Health Innovation is our commitment to leadership training and education and our attention to innovation science and culture. Along with experimenting with new structures and processes, we’ll continue to develop our interprofessional initiatives. Faculty are well along in integrating interprofessional competencies in undergraduate and graduate programs. We’ll continue to develop and share interprofessional teaching materials, and we’ll continue our work with clinical partners to advance core teamwork processes like care coordination, integrative care,

UP CLOSE, continued population-based care and the like. These are areas of great interest and expertise among our faculty and collaborating organizations. Millions of new people with health insurance are entering the health care system. New delivery and payment models-and a lot of change in general, are creating both excitement

and trepidation. It’s a time of considerable experimentation as we learn what works better and how to prepare our students to think differently, push boundaries, and work collaboratively to deliver improved, accessible and cost-effective health care--not just for now, but also for ten or fifteen years down the road.

ASU DNP Grad Creates Model for Provider Collaboration

esley Health Center, an established Federally Qualified Health Center located in south central Phoenix, provides comprehensive care to patients of all ages. Many of Wesley’s patients have multiple chronic diseases, and an equal number are largely uninsured. Wesley’s providers are able to treat most of the conditions that come through their doors, including chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and acute episodes such as the flu and infections. Preventative medicine is a high priority at Wesley, which includes health screenings for various cancers. Wesley is also committed to educating future primary care providers on the patient centered medical home -- Wesley’s hallmark practice model, which places nurse practitioner and healthcare students who work with them in the mainstream of current health issues. ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation joined forces with Wesley several years ago through a grant from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation to provide nurse practitioner students with hands-on opportunities to learn this new care model from Wesley’s experienced providers, alongside students from other health disciplines. “Our providers are teachers at heart,” said Betty Mathis, CEO of Wesley Health Center. Jackie Kasnot recently completed her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project at Wesley by developing a framework for an interprofessional practice team focused on Wesley’s most medically complex patients—those with three or more chronic conditions. She set out to determine if a team of practitioners from different disciplines could increase patient satisfaction while increasing providers’ ability to manage high risk patients. “We created a panel of qualifying complex patients and, with the supervision of the full time staff, all the students from different disciplines worked collaboratively on their care,” Kasnot said. “What was great was how open everyone was at the onset of the project to formalize the process and create an actual team of individuals focused on collaborative efforts.”

Wesley already had a basic system of interprofessional collaboration in place where providers from different disciplines worked together on their more complex patients, Kasnot said. But they did not have an interprofessional collaborative panel or regular debrief meetings, both introduced by Kasnot. “What Jackie did made a Jackie Kasnot (R) with Katie Brite, MD, difference,” said Donna Wesley Health Center’s Medical Director. Velasquez, DNP program director at ASU. “She put a system in place to begin to measure the effect of interprofessional collaboration on patient outcomes.” DNP projects focus on translating evidence into practice, Velasquez said, searching for the preponderance of the evidence and implementing changes in clinical practice. Meeting the needs of the practice site is another key element of DNP projects, she said. “Jackie’s leadership style made a difference in the success of the project,” Velasquez said. “She took the time to engage stakeholders, and she focused on teamwork.” Before she graduated, Kasnot met with the incoming group of DNP students sponsored by the Macy grant to discuss strategies for expanding and sustaining the project. Wesley continues to work toward measuring long term outcomes, Kasnot said, using her initial study as a framework. “The future of organizations in healthcare is to find ways to take better care of patients and spend less money doing so,” she said. “The optimization of your workforce is a pretty good option to achieve this.”

The Perfect Gift at the Perfect Time

here is a saying that timing is everything. It was timing, as well as a love for Arizona State University, that led Evelyn Cesarotti, PhD, FNP-BC, GNP to make a generous gift of real estate to ASU. Dr. Cesarotti has spent 22 years on the faculty of the College of Nursing & Health Innovation--as an assistant professor, associate professor and now as the Associate Dean for Operations. “I consider ASU my home,” she said. “Most of my social activities are connected to the university. Though I’m slowly phasing into retirement, I want to stay connected.” Dr. Cesarotti was planning for the future when she received information from the university about alternative ways to give, specifically using property to make a gift either now or through one’s estate plans. The timing was right. She had a condominium and needed to make a decision to either rent it or sell it after her move to Sun City. “Using it to make my gift was the perfect solution,” she said. Her condo held a special place in her heart, mainly because of how she came about owning it. “I was a young assistant professor, just starting out with

very little. I was renting another condo in the area when a For Sale sign appeared in front of a nearby condo with more room. I put in an offer to rent it. The owner, a real estate agent, told me he had a buyer but took my phone number. A few weeks later he called to say he was going to make me a deal. Of course, I was skeptical!” “He offered me a 15-year private mortgage and my first year’s rent would be my down payment, calling this his wife’s retirement plan. As it turned out, he passed away two years later. I continued to make the payments to his wife. She later told me he had a cash buyer for the condo but the Lord had told him I needed it more. He did that out of the goodness of his heart.” When it came time to make a decision, Dr. Cesarotti gifted the condo to ASU in support of a new mindfulness center that will focus on the science and practice of mindfulness and compassion. This new initiative will teach stress reduction techniques to strengthen the health and overall well-being of its participants. “These days everyone, whether in good health or facing an illness, needs to learn to deal with stress better,” she said. “This approach is proven to work with patients who have recently undergone surgery or are being treated for cancer.” Dr. Cesarotti’s generosity will make a difference in the health and well-being of many for a long time to come.

MHI Alum Focuses on Value through Innovation

rowing up, Jennifer Bonilla would never have imagined herself as CEO of the number one global outsourcing company in the world. In May of 2014, Bonilla, a graduate of ASU’s Master of Healthcare Innovation (MHI) program, became just that when she took on the role of CEO for ISS Facility Services-North America, where she is responsible for 15,000 employees. “I don’t know that many people actually aspire to become a CEO, but it’s a really an amazing opportunity,” she said. “There’s so much potential to capitalize on a lifetime of educational and work experiences. I also value having the ability to positively impact the performance of other companies, and to develop people across my organization.” Building on her education and her client and employee relationships have been cornerstones of Bonilla’s success. After graduating with her BS degree in Hotel Administration, she took a position at Aramark Corporation directing support services for their Business Services and K-12 Education sectors. In 2001, Bonilla earned her MBA and left Aramark when she was recruited into a senior position at Pitney Bowes, Inc., a global B2B technology company that provides shipping and mailing solutions, data management and software to companies. “This transition represented the chance for me to leverage the skills that I learned in my MBA program and in the service sector to a completely different industry,” she said. “This is also where I really began to gain experience working with health care clients.” Bonilla worked for Pitney Bowes for about 10 years before deciding to reinvent herself again and increase her focus on the health care field. That decision steered her toward earning her MHI degree. “As I researched programs, ASU seemed to have the only program of its kind in the U.S. and I was really intrigued by that,” she said. “Health care is undergoing tremendous reform due to the ACA legislative changes, and being able to create and execute innovative solutions to deliver best-in-class patient care and drive financial results could not be more crucial for graduates. The MHI Program was the clear choice to hone these skills.” While completing her MHI degree Bonilla worked for Sodexo as Division President within their health care segment. She was responsible for all support services for 400 hospitals and senior living facilities in the United States. In 2014, she

left Sodexo for her current position at ISS. She graduated with her MHI degree in 2013, and started teaching Financing for Innovation for the program. “ASU has a great reputation and I think their online programs in particular are really progressive,” she said. “ASU is continuously striving to enhance the whole online experience, and immerses students in an environment that has the feel of a real brick and mortar classroom.” When she designs her curriculum, Bonilla looks at it from the perspective of an employer. She believes students should be able to immediately apply learnings to a work setting. “What motivates me is ensuring that what we teach today translates into tangible results for the students in securing a job or a promotion,” she said. “We must provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge so that they bring value to any organization from day one.” She makes a point to incorporate real world principles into the curriculum to keep students engaged. This is important because many of her students are unfamiliar with finance. “I think a lot of them come into the class thinking, ‘How am I going to get through this?’” she said. “By providing real world examples, the class is more relevant, and it enables the students to feel more confident when approaching new concepts and developing problem solving skills.” In 2014, the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals named ISS the number one global outsourcing company in the world for the second year in a row. Another top award followed this year for the company. “It is really a testament to ISS’ innovative self-delivery service model and to its integrated facility solutions that drive value for clients across industries,” she said. “I’m very proud to represent the company and that I have been able to continue to capitalize on the education that I received at ASU every day.”

Many will remember the SLR as the Learning Resource Center (LRC). The name change underscores our growing commitment to develop faculty and staff prepared to facilitate high quality experiential learning based on state and international healthcare simulation standards.

A Lasting Legacy L

ongtime friend and donor to the College of Nursing & Health Innovation, Thomas “Tiny” Connors, passed away on June 28, 2015. Tiny Connors’ relationship with the college began in 1998 when he memorialized his first wife Barbara by creating and endowing the Barbara Browne Connors Nursing Scholarship to support RN-to-BSN nursing students. The scholarship honors the memory of Barbara Browne Connors, RN, who always dreamed of returning to school to earn her baccalaureate degree in nursing. Barbara Browne Connors, known to her family and close friends as Barbi, was born on October 28, 1927, and passed away on January 26, 1996. Barbi began her nurse training as a U.S. Navy Cadet student nurse, and completed her degree at Faulkner Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts in 1949. After five years as an industrial nurse, Barbi left nursing, became a full time mother and homemaker, and focused on building a family, yet she always intended to continue her nursing education. She and Tiny had nine children, eight of whom were adopted and each with special physical or emotional circumstances, which meant that Barbi was always a full-time nurse. Tiny always wanted the scholarship to be about Barbi because her love of nursing inspired the gift. Yet it was Tiny’s generosity that made the scholarship a reality. Since its inception, forty Barbara Browne Connors Scholars have received significant financial support to pursue their own dreams of formal nursing education. Some of the scholars received the scholarship for both their undergraduate and graduate degrees in nursing at ASU. Each feels a personal connection to both Barbi and Tiny Connors as a result of their educational support, paying it forward to their patients and students with excellent nursing care and education. For Cynthia Holcomb, former Barbara Browne Connors Scholar, the scholarship was personal. “Tiny was there for us,” she said. “We felt like a family of scholars.”

Barbara Durand was the dean of ASU’s College of Nursing & Health Innovation when Tiny first created the scholarship. “His love and admiration for his wife, Barbara, a nurse, was boundless, and his commitment to this scholarship and the Barbara Browne Connors Scholars was total,” Durand said. “I, personally, have never met a man who cared so intensely. His heart and soul were huge.”

Norine, a retired nurse and proud CONHI graduate (class of ’65) was the first nurse in Arizona to earn the ANA’s designation as a CNA--a Certified Nursing Administrator. Having spent 25 years working as a public health nurse with the Maricopa County Health Department, which included being a supervisor of nursing staff, visiting nurses, and health aides stationed in several of the county’s clinics, Norine knows first-hand about the needs of the health care industry. Norine and Robert are concerned about the future of health care, and they understand that there is a shortage of nurses to deal with an aging population. They also believe that their enjoyable working life and successful retirement are a direct result of their ASU education. As members of the Dean’s Society, the Heinrichs have taken steps to include the college in their estate plans. “We feel proud to provide support to help prepare future graduates who are facing an even more complicated and challenging world than ours was,” Norine said. This past May, the college invited members of the nursing class of 1965 to come back and celebrate their golden reunion. Norine served as chair and helped organize a great event. Both Norine and Robert were amazed at the advancements in the nursing profession, and feel excited about the college’s future. Through their generous contributions and active service, Norine and Robert are helping to provide academic opportunities for current and future students. “We are so grateful for our experience and want to fuel the continued growth of our Sun Devil Community,” she said.

Real-world focus garners honor from AACN for CONHI partnership with Mayo Clinic Arizona

recision education or stabs in the dark? It’s the former that has won both the ASU College of

Nursing & Health Innovation and the Mayo Clinic Arizona the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s Exemplary Academic-Practice Partnership Award for their collaborative efforts to produce nurses who can hit the ground running. The 8-year-old joint effort has centered on ASU listening to what Mayo needs in a nurse, and then precisely educating that nurse to meet those needs. “Often in universities around the country we come up with curriculum and classes for the learners,” nursing dean Teri Pipe said. “We want to make sure they’re exactly relevant to what our clinical partners want. When we graduate a nurse, we want that nurse to be prepared to work in their environment and that there aren’t any learning gaps.” Kinley Brownsberger completed the Mayo program in May 2014, earned a bachelor’s in nursing, and is currently working as a registered nurse at Mayo on the orthopedic, urology and acute rehab floor.

“We hire the nurses we need,” she said. “Those master’s prepared nurses are also employed at Mayo. Everyone benefits.” Pipe meets monthly with Mayo chief nursing officer Teresa Connolly to discuss how the collaboration is progressing. “We want to make sure everything is working,” she said. “We also want to get ahead of anything that’s not... This collaboration is at all levels and involves a lot of people. It’s not just on the surface; it’s really hard, roll-up-your-sleeves work. The students and the patients benefit the most.” The partnership was the brainchild of ASU President Michael Crow and the then-CEO of Mayo, Vic Trastek, who is now a faculty member at ASU in the College of Health Solutions, Pipe said. “They really came up with this vision of how the two organizations might collaborate,” she said. Receiving the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s Exemplary Academic-Practice Partnership Award is an incredible honor, Pipe said. “This is a national award, and lots of organizations go into this competition,” she said. “To the college, it really means a lot to be recognized for the work that has gone into this collaboration over the years.

understanding of what’s going on in nursing. I was able to apply that knowledge in a better way. “Sometimes instructors haven’t worked in a few years. I was better able to integrate into the nursing world because I had instructors who were working. I already knew the (electronic medical record) system when I started.” Nursing students go to Mayo for clinical experience during their junior and senior years.

“We actually have a physical presence on the Mayo campus,” said Pipe, who added that nurses with master’s degrees are hired as faculty at ASU.
