The guidance provided by the IOM report on the Future of Nursing (2010) helps us frame our strategic initiatives and vision. The Michigan State University College of Nursing is contributing to progress in meeting the recommendations while succeeding in all areas of our mission. One of the major themes of this magazine is partnerships. Almost all of our initiatives have a component of partnering with the community, other institutions, and other disciplines.
The ability to work collaboratively is one of the essential skills for dealing with the complexity of systems and addressing the challenges of the IOM. You will read about our partnership with the Lansing Public Schools to promote workforce diversity, partnership with community colleges to promote seamless RN to BSN education, a partnership with Sparrow Hospital to establish a Dedicated Education Unit, partnership with our donors and friends who contributed to the completion of our new nursing building, a research partnership with the College of Communication Arts & Sciences and the College of Engineering called the “Trifecta.” In addition, almost all of our nurse researchers are conducting community based research in schools, homes, WIC clinics, and primary care clinics. This level of connectedness is a symbol of the vibrant engagement of the MSU College of Nursing with the complex systems that surround us. The administration, faculty, and staff are committed to assuring success and moving the College to the next level. It is a pleasure to share our story with you.
LEtter From The Dean
“The College of Nursing at Michigan State University is an academic community where values of hard work and creative productivity are embedded in our culture and produce outcomes that strengthen the entire fabric of the organization. The newest outcomes we are proud to share include receiving 10 years of continuing accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) for the bachelor’s and master’s programs.

OVERCOMING OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO A NURSING EDUCATION The College of Nursing: Overcoming Educational Barriers Program is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration Nursing Workforce Diversity Grant #D19HP19031. The program was established to create an educational pipeline to nursing education.
Third ACCESS Cohort
IOM Recommendation 4
In the summer of 2010, the College of Nursing kicked off an exciting new program to expand access to nursing education for students who are educationally or economically disadvantaged. Working in partnership with the Lansing School District and a number of MSU and College support service offices, the College of Nursing designed the program to engage middle and high school students, build student interest in a nursing career, and then provide the financial and academic assistance to support them on the path to completion of the BSN and NCLEX-RN licensing exam. Student interest and participation, as well as partner and volunteer support, have exceeded expectations. Lively middle school career fairs attracted 432 students in the first two years. High school student participation in the Future Nurse Clubs, including the residential Summer Camp, has increased each year as have applications to the BSN early admit option. “As we near the end of the grant cycle this spring semester, we are excited and proud to welcome the program’s first student cohort to the nursing curriculum,” reports Dr. Viau.
Increase the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree to 80 percent by 2020. Academic nurse leaders across all schools of nursing should work together to increase the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree from 50 to 80 percent by 2020. These leaders should partner with education accrediting bodies, private and public funders, and employers to ensure funding, monitor progress, and increase the diversity of students to create a workforce prepared to meet the demands of diverse populations across the lifespan.

“Many students with the interest and ability to enter the nursing profession encounter a range of barriers to pursuing a BSN. The MSU College of Nursing Overcoming Educational Barriers Program, funded by a HRSA Nursing Workforce Diversity Grant, identified and addressed these barriers. They include: building awareness of nursing as a career, creating peer groups, setting college as a goal and preparing for it with the right courses and study skills, and working with the university’s and college’s many services to support them from admission through graduation. It is rewarding to see these students succeed and to participate on a team that encourages, guides, and mentors students on the pathway from middle school to graduation.” Terry Viau, PhD, Associate Dean for Student Services

The ACCESS (Achieving Culturally Competent Education and Student Success) Program provides incoming MSU freshmen who qualify as disadvantaged and who identify pre-nursing as their major with financial and educational support. It begins with an alternative early admission application to the nursing major and continues through to completion of the BSN and preparation for the NCLEX-RN licensing exam. The early admission process is competitive with ten to twelve seats available each year.

As I reflect on the two and a half years I have been a student here at MSU, I realize that life is truly about the choices we make. Participating in the ACCESS program has been one of the best decisions that I could have made in my life, as it has helped me in a tremendous way. From the beginning, I realized that I was given the opportunity to have a family away from home. My transition was smoother than I would have expected because of the tutoring resources, financial support, student peers, and personal advising. It was easier to adjust because of the accessibility to faculty mentors and the various resources that serve as a support system. This program truly helps students excel academically, financially, socially, and personally. With sincere empathy and the desire to care for others in need, I am poised to help make a difference in the healthcare profession. Thanks to the help of faculty, tutors, and my colleagues participating in the ACCESS program, I am taking the academic steps necessary to develop into that great nurse that I aspire to be.

Academic support begins the summer prior to the freshman year with encouragement to attend MAGIC (Maximizing Academic Growth in College), a MSU summer transition program for incoming freshmen. College staff members meet individually with students during summer academic orientation to develop an academic plan and class schedule that completes prerequisites in a timely manner. At the start of fall semester, all ACCESS students attend a luncheon at the College colloquium to meet the whole program team and each other. ACCESS students receive a $2,000 stipend, paid in eight monthly installments of $250 over the academic year, as long as they meet all participation agreement requirements. Stipend support is intended in part to relieve students from the pressure of working too many hours.
The expansion of opportunities for disadvantaged students, including underrepresented minority students, responds to the nursing shortage as well as to the need for a more diverse and representative workforce, as recommended by the Institute of Medicine. This, in turn, will improve access to culturally competent healthcare for our increasingly diverse population.
This program clearly demonstrates that educational support is key to overcoming barriers that prevent disadvantaged students from accessing nursing education and entering the profession. The three-year federal grant that funded the establishment of the program concludes this year. It is imperative that the College of Nursing raise endowment and expendable funds to sustain this worthy and effective program.
Academic support continues in the second year, but meeting topics shift focus to the nursing curriculum, clinical education, and nursing research. Encouragement to think toward graduate work is embedded from day one. Sessions with students currently enrolled in the nursing coursework offer participants a chance to ask questions and get advice from students just ahead of them in the pipeline, but closer to their own age and experience. Study sessions and general information regarding financial planning for nursing students are also provided.
We thank you. Our future nurses thank you.
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED
Ensuring BSN Success with Retention Programs The pipeline leads into the nursing coursework, where students continue to receive support. As coursework becomes more demanding, meetings shift to a monthly format. Due to course content, tutoring needs are addressed solely by nursing graduate assistants. Study sessions and NCLEX-RN review sessions help prepare students for coursework and the licensing exam. Support is also available after graduation for those preparing for the NCLEX-RN.
SUSTAINING SUCCESS: Give Hope to Aspiring Nursing Students from Disadvantaged Backgrounds
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NURSING • nursing.msu.edu
Once on campus, ACCESS students participate in a wide range of support activities. During the first year, biweekly networking/ academic support sessions emphasize connecting students with the campus resources they need to succeed, including sessions that promote the study and writing skills necessary for pre-nursing coursework. An “intrusive tutoring” approach closely monitors student progress. Those in need of help are required to take advantage of tutoring offered by program graduate assistants or other MSU support services.

the BSN by identifying and working through educational barriers.
In collaboration with Lansing and Macomb Community Colleges, the MSU College of Nursing is enrolling students concurrently in both Associate and the BSN degree programs. The purpose of this program is to encourage students to pursue the BSN immediately upon completion of the associate degree.
Providing a Seamless Completion of the Nursing Major in a Timely Way
This program, the only one of its type in Michigan, reflects the hard work and high level of cooperation between nursing leaders, MSU’s central administration, admissions, financial aid, registrar, and their counterparts at LCC and Macomb. The primary aim of this strategic partnership is to facilitate students’ progression into
Nursing education is an ongoing process, and the first step towards professional leadership is earning the BSN. The IOM Future of Nursing report encourages nurses in leadership positions to be full partners in healthcare delivery. The BSN is key to promotion and graduate education, preparing nurses to play a vital role in planning quality healthcare for our citizens. This carefully crafted partnership aligns academic advisors and faculty at each institution to work together on advisement. The
program moves baccalaureate degree completion ahead by one semester by offering online asynchronous coursework that can begin before completion of the associate degree and facilitates precepted BSN clinical experience in the students’ home communities.
Welcoming First Students to MSU Nursing Courses in May 2013 Applications are currently being accepted and the first group of students has been recommended for admission to MSU. The College looks forward to developing similar relationships with other associate degree programs as this model evolves.
This agreement is an innovative option for Macomb Community College nursing students. The agreement illustrates our ongoing commitment to collaborating with high-quality educational partners, maximizing use of educational resources while increasing opportunities and benefits for our students.

FOSTERING FOSTERING A GLOBAL VIEW OF NURSING: STUDY ABROAD IN CHINA EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
Connecting with International Peers The summer 2012 Study Abroad program to China is the latest in a series of educational exchanges occurring under the general agreement for academic cooperation between the MSU College of Nursing and Chongqing Medical University (CQMU). The three-week trip from May 28 to June 17, 2012 included three students and two faculty members.

It was a trip of a lifetime! Making connections with other countries when people are young is very beneficial for our school and our country. It was exciting to learn about alternative medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, in light of rising healthcare costs here and in China. Being a foreigner there and dealing with a big language barrier was a new experience for me. I hope to translate that into patience and understanding in my work here with patients from other cultures. Interacting with the Chinese students offered multiple levels of social and academic knowledge. I keep up with my new Chinese friends online and hope to return there one day.�
Brittany Parzuchowski, College of Nursing Student, Class of 2013
This first Study Abroad to China (NUR491) set objectives to: • Identify the cultural, social, economic and political variables that influence health and healthcare in China • Discuss the strategies used to improve health in acute and community settings • Identify nursing roles and the evolving image and status of nurses • Describe quality of, access to, and costs/ payment for healthcare services
Immersing Students in Chinese Culture and Healthcare Classroom learning sessions focused on Chinese language, art, and culture, as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine. Students also toured a number of CQMU healthcare facilities including adult acute care hospitals, the children’s hospital, the new center for aging that includes independent to skilled capacity, and the dental hospital. It was at the Second Affiliate Hospital where students had the unique opportunity to observe individuals receiving acupuncture and traditional Chinese massage in the clinical setting, bringing the classroom lec-
tures and demonstrations to life. The group also visited laboratories filled with medicinal herbs and interacted with CQMU medical students involved in testing them and other biologic products for efficacy.
Experiencing Places, Building Relationships Arriving in Beijing, the students’ introduction to China took them to the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, and the Great Wall, among other famous sites. Once in Chongqing, cultural activities were interwoven with academics and included tours of the city known as “China’s Chicago.” Students experienced the historic and the new, visiting markets, the Great Hall of the People, and the 9th–13th century Dazu rock carvings. Students participated in hot pot dining and visits to Chinese families. The most important student interactions were often those less formal situations in which students shared their backgrounds, education, and plans. On two evenings, more than 20 CQMU students met with the MSU students in small groups in which they discussed how things are done in their respective countries, revealing similarities and respecting differences.
CHINA As part of the continuing educational exchange between MSU and the Chongqing Medical University, the next College of Nursing study abroad to China is planned for 2014, and will provide a new group of students from both countries the opportunity to gain a global perspective on the profession.
LONDON Now in its 4th decade, the Nursing in London study abroad program offered by Louise Selanders, EdD, RN, FAAN, nurse historian and Nightingale scholar, compares U.K. and U.S. nursing education, practice, and healthcare policy with emphasis on nursing’s historical development.

LAUNCHING LAUNCHING A DEDICATED EDUCATION UNIT
Partnering with a Community-Based Hospital
The MSU College of Nursing-Sparrow Health System Designated Educational Unit marks another milestone in the academic practice partnership between these two organizations. Over the past two years nursing leaders from both the College and Sparrow have collaborated to design an enhanced learning environment for students and staff that will also support the highest level of patient outcomes.
In fall 2012, the pilot Dedicated Education Unit (DEU) offered undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in a clinical learning experience with individualized mentorship. The pilot participants were Accelerated Second Degree BSN program students who were assigned to 4 Foster, a cardiovascular stepdown unit, for their second semester NUR 360 Acute Care of Adults/Medical Surgical Nursing course. Eight students were partnered with clinical mentors for full shift experiences with the support of MSU instructor Peggy Campbell, MSN, RN. Each mentor is a baccalaureate prepared nurse with special training for this role. The students were immersed into the real life experience of working as a nurse and benefited from consistent professional role modeling.
My experience being part of the DEU and having the one-to-one student to nurse ratio gave me ample opportunities daily to become not only proficient but confident in fundamental clinical nursing skills such as medication administration, assessment, documentation, and IV therapy.” Matthew Bruno Accelerated Second Degree BSN Student Class of 2013

Promoting Educational and Practice Innovations in Clinical Education
It was a great opportunity last semester to build a relationship with the students each week, which allowed us to see how far they’d come. They helped us think about why we do what we do. We were able to direct them to see admissions, discharges, rapid responses, and all kinds of learning opportunities. We could also then talk through the critical thinking process about why we did what we did. As a nurse, it helps me keep improving my own practice when someone is asking ‘why’ and ‘how’.” Chelsea Jones, BSN, RN, PCCN CON BSN ’10 Clinical Mentor at Sparrow Health Systems
The integration of didactic content into the psychomotor and affective behaviors that are the process of planning and providing nursing care is the real goal of clinical education. Working with highly competent clinical mentors allows students to see and model professional nursing behaviors in an intense way and integrate practice with education. On this cardiovascular stepdown unit dedicated to the College of Nursing partnership, faculty work closely with the nurse manager and nurse mentors as they provide clinical learning opportunities and guidance to the students. Faculty members continue to provide educational experiences for the students, but take on the additional role as coach for mentors as they develop their teaching skills.

An important innovation to this DEU model is the focus on transitions in care. Students complete a home care visit of a patient to observe progress, care effectiveness, and patient adaptation to illness post hospitalization. This provides an increased opportunity to understand the full spectrum of the illness as students observe patient and family progress across the continuum of care. Long term, there are projected positive outcomes for the students in terms of enhanced clinical learning, for unit staff in terms of enriched professional practice, and for patients in terms of improved patient care. The model also offers the potential for graduate level research and evidence based practice.

PREPARING NURSE LEADERS IN PRACTICE AND EDUCATION Integrating Clinical Practice Expertise and Educational Skills The MSN Clinical Specialist-Education (CNS-ED) concentration is designed to prepare Advanced Practice Nurses for the role of clinical experts for adult and aging populations. Course content also develops their expertise as nurse educators. This program prepares nurses to assume professional leadership roles in hospitals, schools of nursing, and healthcare organizations. Along with expanding clinical expertise, they
are prepared as educators to serve in integrated roles that create change in healthcare systems. The CNS-ED specialty is fully online with preceptor guided clinical experiences in the CNS and educator roles. Upon completion of the program, graduates are prepared to sit for the ANCC certification as Adult CNS and for the National League for Nursing (NLN) Education Certification.
Nurses, nursing education programs, and nursing associations should prepare the nursing workforce to assume leadership positions across all levels, while public, private, and governmental health care decision makers should ensure that leadership positions are available to and filled by nurses.

Prepare and enable nurses to lead change to advance health.
I was in a staff nurse position until I completed my MSN-CNS ED degree, so the move to an Advanced Practice Nurse role was a big leap professionally. My current position blends the clinical expertise I gained from working as a staff nurse with the competencies I studied and practiced in my graduate program. Nurse education is part of my role. Working as a clinical nurse specialist, I also engage in patient care, collaboration, and consultation with all members of the healthcare team, research, system leadership, and ethical advocacy. As students, we worked on projects that had real impact at our clinical sites. This gave me the confidence to dive in to similar projects in my new role. I could not have completed my master’s degree without the flexibility of the online program, logging on to watch lectures or contribute to discussion forums at any time of the day or night.

The MSU College of Nursing stepped up to the opportunity to prepare more nursing faculty by increasing the size of its doctoral program and accelerating the time for students to complete their PhDs. The College helped increase faculty capacity to address the state’s nursing shortage – true to the University’s mission to serve the needs of the community.” Jeanette Klemczak, MS, RN, FAAN, and MSU Assistant Professor Chief Nurse Executive for the State of Michigan during the Granholm administration Currently Health Care Talent Director, State of Michigan Workforce Development Agency

“In 2007, the State of Michigan projected a critical shortage of nurses. At the same time, nursing programs in the state were unable to admit over 4,400 qualified applicants due to a lack of faculty and clinical placements. Furthermore, a majority of the programs reported difficulty in filling faculty positions.” Barbara Given, PhD, RN, FAAN University Distinguished Professor, Director of PhD Program

Increasing the Ranks of PhD Prepared Faculty The MNC Division II-A grant enabled seven PhD candidates at the dissertation phase to complete their education in a 12 month period, helping to produce the College’s largest number of PhD graduates in 2011. All seven went on to tenure track faculty positions in nursing education programs in Michigan. As a symbol of the quality of their work, three candidates received Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) funding: Elizabeth A. Byma and Sandra L. Spoelstra in 2010, and Lori D. Houghton-Rahrig in 2011. “The three-year Michigan Nursing Corps grant ended in May 2012. It would be ideal to find comparable funding so the majority of PhD students could devote themselves full-time to completing their dissertation in a shorter timeframe and move into their careers,” said Dr. Given, Director of the PhD Program.
Creating Nurse Researchers and Faculty for the Future
EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

The College’s doctoral program prepares PhD scholars to assume leadership roles in academia and research. In these roles they will create new knowledge and evidence, disseminate research findings and evidence to practice, and translate research into practice to test the clinical feasibility and effectiveness of research findings. The program emphasizes two areas of research—the management of chronic conditions and health promotion of families and children. Doctoral student coursework and research focus on health status outcomes for individuals and families within community-based primary care settings. Each College of Nursing PhD student receives strong faculty guidance, support, and mentor-
The Nursing Faculty Shortage 2010 Findings The average age of doctorally-prepared nurse faculty ranged from 51.5 to 60.5 years. Master’s-prepared faculty ranged in age from 50.9 to 57.7 years. That places the potential for a wave of retirements, predicted since 2002, on the horizon just as demand for faculty increases. 2011 Findings Two-thirds of the nursing schools responding to its Enrollment and Graduations survey cite faculty shortages as a reason for not accepting all qualified applicants to their baccalaureate programs. U.S. nursing schools turned away 13,198 qualified applicants from master’s programs and 1,156 qualified applicants from doctoral programs, primarily due to insufficient faculty. 2012 Findings In the Vacant Faculty Positions Survey, nursing schools cited the need to create additional faculty positions to accommodate student demand.

ing as he or she prepares for a life of scholarly work and teaching the next generation of nurses. Each student selects a major professor and guidance committee for academic study, and a dissertation chair and committee for research. Because the College is committed to interdisciplinary research, each committee includes at least one member from the larger university. The support structure guides each student through the degree requirements, which include coursework, delivery of a scientific paper at a
professional meeting, preparation of a manuscript for publication, submission of a grant for funding, comprehensive or qualifying examinations, and a dissertation presenting original research that contributes to nursing science. The program has been carefully designed to help monitor student progress through monthly status and productivity reports. Ongoing time management discussions help students proceed and meet deadlines. Students attend monthly faculty research seminars and multidisciplinary research seminars. Special attention is given to guide students through the complexities of research in community settings, such as dealing with site specific issues, setting realistic recruitment goals, and working with multiple institutional review boards (IRBs). Faculty and staff take great pride in the accomplishments of the doctoral students as they assume faculty roles and leadership in research, teaching, practice, policy, and innovation.
Adding MSN Prepared Nurse Educators to the Workforce In Division II-B of the MNC grant, 17 graduate students received the necessary funding to accelerate their Master’s in Nurse Education program and graduate within a year. As a result, these Master’s prepared registered nurses are employed full time as nurse educators within Michigan. This, along with the new PhD graduates, represents a substantial contribution to reducing the faculty shortage and increasing potential enrollment numbers for nursing students across the state. The program’s format provided graduate school access to rurally located students who were able to complete all of the nursing education courses on-line and participate in community-based student teaching internships.

Dissertation: Perceived Physical Functioning, Perceived Pain Interference and Health Seeking Behaviors in Lumbar Degenerative Spine Conditions The grant allowed me to fully immerse myself in doctoral study. I participated in research practica, presented research at national and international research conferences, and participated in College of Nursing committee work. These activities added depth and quality to my doctoral education, and allowed me to complete my PhD in a shorter time than I would have otherwise been able to accomplish. I teach graduate level coursework and have a dual appointment with the Hauenstein Neuroscience Center at Saint Mary’s Health Care as a nurse practitioner in General Neurology. Most recently, I completed a study of over 500 patients receiving non-operative care for chronic spine conditions. My next planned study will examine frequency and intensity of physical activity in persons with chronic spine conditions.
Elizabeth A. Byma, PhD, RN Assistant Professor, Calvin College Department of Nursing Dissertation: Pain and Pain Management in a Medicaid Waiver Program I am very appreciative of the support I received during my participation in the Michigan Nurse Corps project. The financial support and administrative oversight enabled me to attain my goal of graduation. At Calvin College, I work with senior level nursing students and teach in both the classroom and clinical setting. The Calvin nursing program graduates approximately 64 students every year.
Denise Soltow Hershey, PhD, FNP-BC Assistant Professor, Health Programs, Michigan State University College of Nursing Dissertation: Older Adults with Diabetes and Cancer: Impact on Diabetes Self-Management The grant allowed me to take a leave from work so that I could complete my PhD. Without this funding, my total time in the program would have been extended at least one year or more. At the MSU College of Nursing, I educate and train future nurse practitioners and undergraduate students who are interested in going on to graduate school. Through the education of those achieving an advanced degree and those interested in obtaining a graduate level degree, the number of individuals available for nursing faculty positions will increase.
Dissertation: Symptoms, Genetics and Health-Related Quality of Life in Persons with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease The grant allowed me to complete my PhD nearly a year earlier than anticipated and supported my attendance at the 2010 Summer Genetics Institute at the National Institute of Nursing Research at the NIH. When I returned to MSU, I applied this new knowledge in Dr. Debra Schutte’s genetic laboratory while conducting my research of symptoms, genetics and health-related quality of life in persons with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. At GVSU, I teach nursing students how to interpret research findings and to use evidence-based research to support nursing decisions. As a course coordinator, lecturer and clinical instructor in advanced medical-surgical nursing, I work closely with students, discussing my research and their future career goals.

My participation in the grant had a significant impact financially for myself and my family. I took an educational leave of absence from my position teaching in the nursing program at Ferris State University. The loss of a year’s salary for a family of six is challenging; the Nurse Corp grant covered the cost of my tuition, books and travel to MSU to earn my PhD in Nursing Research. In September 2012, I became a certified nurse educator (CNE) and applied for tenure at Ferris State University. I teach in the undergraduate and MSN programs.
The grant allowed me to accelerate the pace of my education, reduce my work hours, and concentrate on finishing my doctoral education in 3½ years. At MSU, I engage and train nearly 200 nursing students at the baccalaureate and master’s level each year. My area of focus has been on teaching nurses how to understand and interpret research so that they are able to utilize the best available evidence in patient care. To do this, I use multiple teaching methodologies to engage students in active learning so they develop a lifelong desire to improve their nursing practice. I also teach critical thinking skills at all levels, so that our graduates are able to problem solve and function independently once they are in their practice setting.
The grant highly impacted my ability to complete my PhD by allowing me to take a leave of absence from my position at GVSU. By doing this, I was able to complete my degree one to two years sooner than expected. The intensity of the PhD program really necessitated this singular focus. I feel that the focus made possible by the grant led to my being chosen as the recipient of the MSU College of Nursing Dissertation Award. At GVSU, I teach in the undergraduate nursing program. I impact the learning of 200 potential new nurses each year. I teach both theory and clinical, which allows me to assist students to apply their learning to patient care. Students watch a 15 minute Camtasia of my dissertation, which demonstrates how nursing research is being accomplished by a familiar professor.

“It is very gratifying to receive word as I leave this position that the College is now ranked in the Top 20 recipients of NIH grants to nursing schools. It’s critical to acknowledge that level of achievement, given that we are not a regular academic medical center. The importance of our community-based care research and the opportunities provided by the new Bott Building for Nursing Education and Research poise us to rise even higher in funding support,” said Dr. Given.
Creating a Legacy of Research Excellence As Associate Dean for Research and Director of the PhD Program, Dr. Given has been instrumental in building the College’s research infrastructure with research leadership, institution of the PhD program in 2001, and mentoring of junior faculty as they start a life of funded scholarly work in the College of Nursing’s research foci: cancer, gerontology, obesity and associated conditions, and physical activity. Her interdisciplinary research has focused on the development and testing of nursing interventions to assist cancer patients and their families to more effectively manage both the course of disease and the sequelae of its treatment. Findings have made scientific contributions to long term cancer care, symptom management, and the role of the family caregiver in home care. Results have produced strategies to improve
Dr. Barbara Given’s vision, commitment, and tireless work represent an extraordinary legacy of scholarship, mentoring, and teaching excellence. During her 46 remarkable years here at MSU, she built a nursing research infrastructure and guided the College of Nursing to its Top 20 NIH grant ranking. She led the way in interdisciplinary research collaborations and partnerships within the university and with community-based healthcare organizations. Her oncology and chronic illness care research have touched lives locally, throughout the U.S., and around the world. She continues to guide and inspire future nurse leaders, scholars, and faculty.” Mary Mundt, PhD, RN, Dean

patient outcomes, such as symptoms, and lessen the burden and stress for family caregivers. These important findings affect and guide healthcare practice, patient care, and policy. Most of this work has been done in collaboration with her husband, Charles W. “Bill” Given, PhD, Professor in the Department of Family Medicine, Senior Research Scientist at the Walther Cancer Foundation, and Research Director of the MSU Institute for Health Care Studies. “We are a team,” reports Dr. Given. “We are able to accomplish more than either of us could alone. We were among the first to get cancer funding that supported behavioral and family care research from the National Cancer Institute. His medical, sociological, and economic expertise along with my nursing perspectives made it possible to focus on patient care and support as scientific breakthroughs in medicine and treatment occurred.” Dr. Given’s research has received continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health for more than 33 years with additional support from the American Cancer Society, among many other sources. She has published more than 220 peer reviewed journal articles, 40 book chapters, and two books.
RESEARCH LEADERSHIP

Dr. Given adds, “MSU’s openness to interdisciplinary collaborations across colleges and units has been a major reason for our longevity here. Every accomplishment was made possible by a host of other colleagues. Certainly my husband was key, but we always had excellent research teams which included students and faculty, as well as patients and family members who gave of their time. We’ve been blessed to have very good people willing to work with us.”
Inspiring Students as Role Model, Mentor and Active Member of the MSU Community Dr. Given always included and mentored students on research teams – not just nurses, but also psychology, epidemiology, economics, family ecology, computer science, medical, and communication arts students. All were encouraged to achieve additional education, and she takes pride in having former team members working as thriving independent researchers. As Director of the PhD Program, she has taken great pleasure in guiding students and junior faculty as an outstanding teacher, mentor and role model of nurse leadership. Dr. Given came to MSU in 1966, as an Assistant Professor in the then “School” of Nursing. Earning her doctoral degree in Administration and Higher Education from MSU in 1976, she went on to become a full professor, and held a number of positions including the Director of Graduate Programs and Director of the Center for Nursing Research in the College of Nursing; Associate Director of Cancer Prevention and Control at the Cancer Center; Associate Director of the Institute for Managed Care in the
College of Human Medicine; and Co-Director of the End of Life Research Center for Excellence.
Guiding Policy at the National Level Mindful of the policy implications of her work, Dr. Given has prepared research-based policy statements for legislators. Participation in policy panels and committees has included the IOM’s Department of Defense (DOD) panel to set priorities for breast cancer research funding, the DOD Breast Cancer Integrating Panel, and the ACS Blue Ribbon Panel to set direction for behavioral and psychosocial research. She testified to the President’s Breast Cancer Commission and Cancer Panel for Older Populations. The white paper on nurse sensitive patient outcomes, written with Paula Sherwood, PhD, RN, CNRN, FAAN, was key to the Oncology Nursing Society’s continued development of evidence based nurse sensitive outcomes. Currently, she serves on the Executive Committee of the Behavioral Cooperative Oncology Group of the Walther Cancer Foundation and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) Psychosocial Outcomes Committee.
Dr. Barbara Given has been one of the most influential people in my life. She taught me not only how to conduct research but what it means to dedicate your life to the advancement of science, how to give back to a discipline while continuing to challenge it, and she continues to show me what it means to uphold extremely high standards in professionalism and dedication. I have been blessed to be able to stand on her shoulders to achieve more than I ever dreamed, and hope to continue to collaborate with her throughout my career.” Paula R.

WELCOMING
DR. BARBARA SMITH THE NEW ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR RESEARCH 36
University, I appreciate Big Ten life—the campus, the resources, the IT infrastructure, and the interdisciplinary and land grant philosophy.” Barbara Smith, PhD, RN, FACSM, FAAN, Associate Dean for Research
Dr. Smith started her appointment as Associate Dean for Research in fall of 2012—just as the new Bott Building for Nursing Education and Research was bustling with the energy and excitement of its first tenants. “I believe the College’s leadership has really poised us to move into the top echelon of nursing education. Dr. Given has done a lot to put us on the map as a leader in research, with our NIH funding now in the Top 20. Dean Mundt has delivered a fabulous research building and space. Now we need to capitalize on those achievements and jump to the next level,” said Dr. Smith.
Bringing a Public Health Background to Exercise Physiology Research Starting her career as a diploma nurse, Dr. Smith went on to Youngstown State University and then Case Western Reserve University for her BSN in 1975, and Master in Public Health in 1978. Her work centered on special populations, first with Amish women in rural Ohio, followed by adult health clinics in Indianapolis, where she became immersed in dealing with infectious diseases including TB, HIV, and even a case of leprosy. In 1986, she went on to earn her PhD in Exercise Physiology at The Ohio State University (OSU), where she taught and conducted research for about 10 years.
We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Barbara Smith to the MSU and College of Nursing community. She brings proven leadership in interdisciplinary collaborative research, global perspectives on nursing, an impressive track record in winning and leveraging grant funding, and a commitment to translating scholarly work into clinical practice and innovation. We look forward to working with her to seize the College’s current education and research momentum, and move us forward.” Mary Mundt, PhD, RN, Dean

Leading in Research in the U.S. and Abroad Dr. Smith’s main research area has been exercise physiology – the use of exercise to help adults and children with chronic conditions or risk factors for HIV, breast cancer, obesity, cardiovascular disease, preeclampsia, and Parkinson’s disease. Her first NIH funded study at OSU looked at reduction of risk factors for cardiovascular disease among African American children. She also received one of the earliest grants to look at the safety and efficacy of exercise for symptom management for those with HIV. In 1997, her HIV research led her to the University of Alabama School of Nursing as professor and Marie L. O’Koren Endowed

Chair, working with a well funded and world renowned team of HIV experts led by Dr. Michael Saag. It was during her time there that she made her first trip to Africa to work with nursing faculty in Zambia on HIV transmission. Her research dealt with knowledge of universal precautions and other issues related to occupational acquisition of disease. The University of Maryland School of Nursing’s NIH grant ranking rose from #58 to #19 during her tenure as Associate Dean for Research from 2003 until 2012. There, she continued her research in exercise physiology, working with an HIV population that was evolving to include those infected through IV drugs. She also became more deeply involved with international nursing through the university’s PEPFAR grant, teaching HIV care in seven African and two Caribbean countries.
As a result of this work, she was invited to the World Health Organization in Geneva to consult on building global nursing capacity. The Clinton Foundation also invited her to be part of the project to build medical and nursing capacity in Rwanda post genocide. She is currently studying the potential of exercise to resolve peripheral neuropathy. The very promising results may translate to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. She and many other faculty researchers will make good use of the new Exercise Lab, which will be up and running in the College of Nursing late this spring.

Bringing Together Three Perspectives to Improve Healthcare Outcomes One exciting project initiated by the College of Nursing seeks to improve outcomes for chronically ill patients whose treatment includes exercise. From the health perspective, the only way to confirm that a patient has achieved the appropriate duration, frequency and intensity of exercise is by direct observation. For those who must exercise at home or in other locales, the College of Engineering will devise a technological solution for remote monitoring of vital signs and physical activity
Collaborative research is the wave of the future. Many people talk the talk. Trifecta demonstrates that MSU walks the walk. Creating teams of people with different but complementary expertise is more likely to produce resolution to the problem or issue under consideration.” Barbara Smith, PhD, RN, FACSM, FAAN Associate Dean for Research, College of Nursing
Another innovative project underway is a special boot to deliver reflexology as a complementary therapy intervention for breast cancer patients. A third project uses remote monitoring for research on physical activity and dietary intake to improve the health of the Latina community. In January 2013, Visiting Scholar Patricia Flatley Brennan, PhD, Professor of Nursing and Industrial Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison consulted with Trifecta members at MSU. Dr. Brennan shared her expertise in creating and organizing interdisciplinary research teams, including rules of engagement and strategies to promote productivity. She also met with individual project teams from the three disciplines of nursing, engineering, and communication already at work developing innovative solutions to a variety of healthcare challenges.
By pulling together the impressive talents of researchers from varying disciplines, we are positioning MSU to find innovative ways that will advance the delivery of health solutions to underserved communities. The College of Engineering’s role will be to devise the technological solutions that can enhance the quality of care. Through these collaborations our ultimate goal is to improve community health.” Satish Udpa, PhD Dean, College of Engineering
Attracting National Grants through Collaboration Trifecta clearly reflects the university’s commitment to interdisciplinary research. With grants becoming more competitive, Trifecta collaborations will stand out as compelling projects that bring many scientific minds to the advancement of nursing and healthcare. The associate deans for research in each of the respective colleges, Dr. Barbara Smith from Nursing, Dr. Leo Kempel from Engineering, and Dr. Maria Lapinski from Communication Arts and Sciences, are leading the planning effort and preparing guidelines to implement the program.
There is an unprecedented emphasis on containing costs while improving health care access and quality on a global basis. The integrated use of innovative medical and communication technologies is an essential component to addressing these needs. The Trifecta collaboration represents a wealth of expertise uniquely capable of tackling both the human and technical challenges involved, and positions Michigan State University to take the lead in the international race to identify long-term, effective solutions.” Pamela Whitten, PhD Dean, College of Communication Arts and Sciences

“Community involvement and philanthropy are very important to our lives. As an operating room nurse for more than 25 years, I have witnessed firsthand the severity of the nursing shortage. We want to ensure that quality nursing care is available for all of us in our time of need. We are honored to be part of marking a new era of excellence in nursing education at Michigan State University.”
“We feel a strong commitment to help bring students, faculty, and staff together in one space that will help meet the research and teaching goals of the College. We are amazed at the flexibility and technology that is a cornerstone of this learning lab. We hope students will integrate new knowledge and research into practice as the College moves forward as a top national program.”
“Charlie and I are very pleased with the completed Collaboratory on the second floor of the Bott Building. We decided to fund this room because it is a place that will provide opportunities for faculty and students to work together, using technology to interact in learning and creating new ideas. We love the concept of collaboration and believe this space will encourage idea sharing and teamwork.”
Janice and Alton Granger Janice and Alton Granger Atrium
“The moment that Dean Mundt talked with us about funding the bridge, I thought of connecting the old with the new—in a philosophical sense. We stand on the shoulders of others that have gone before us, and the bridge connects the past with the future. It is quite humbling to see my name and Dale’s name in the new building. It is a proud moment.”
“We hope the student lounge will be a gathering place for current students—a place to study or take a break or have a snack; a place for a quiet moment or laughter or the sharing of experiences; a place that will be a part of the exciting new environment for learning. We were thrilled to see students using the new space during our first visit.”
“The atrium is beautiful and gives a welcoming message to our MSU nursing students. We are long time supporters of the College of Nursing because we like how the students are educated—and how a baccalaureate education teaches us to think. Giving back is a good thing, and we are glad to share our blessings in our hopes that the nursing shortage will be abated.”

Helping Move the College Forward
Providing Student Scholarships
The momentum created by new academic programs, increasing research activity, and the new Bott Building for Nursing Education and Research poise the College to address the national shortage of nurses and nursing faculty, advance nursing science, and translate research into practice innovations.
Scholarship support creates opportunity for students to receive an MSU nursing education. Help is needed at all levels.
The support of individuals, corporations, and foundations is instrumental in our ability to ensure the success of our mission of educating the next generation of nursing professionals, expanding knowledge through research, and supporting public needs through clinical practice and outreach. Your philanthropic gift can make a difference in the College of Nursing. Through your financial commitments, we are able to continue and expand our work. The College has identified areas of need in the form of student scholarships, research capacity, and innovations in practice partnerships.
Financial support opportunities include: • Endowed chairs in nursing research • Professorships to support pilot studies • PhD fellowships
Financial support opportunities include:
Funding Innovations in Practice Partnerships
• The Nursing Workforce Diversity Program supports educationally and economically disadvantaged students. More about this program in the article on page 6. • Scholarships for varying nursing concentrations
Innovative practice partnerships develop new models of teaching and learning, address changes in our evolving healthcare delivery system, and support implementation of evidence based nursing practice.
Building Research Capacity Support to our nursing research program strengthens our research infrastructure and maintains a culture of competitive and sustained research funding. Capacity building helps to address the increased competition to obtain national funding. College research programs focus on managing chronic illnesses, promoting healthy lifestyles, and improving the health and well being of individuals and families. College of Nursing researchers integrate the health disparities of vulnerable groups into their research.
Funding for this priority area supports exciting new inter-professional collaborations through which we aim to improve the patient experience while achieving national benchmark healthcare outcomes.
