THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
College of Nursing 2019 ANNUAL REPORT
A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Hello College of Nursing alumni and friends, I retired on July 1, and am both excited and saddened to share my last message with you as dean of the College of Nursing. The past academic year has been outstanding in many ways, and I am thrilled to share some of our accomplishments with you. In the fall of 2018, the College of Nursing dedicated itself to a new five-year strategic plan. The plan is informed by a set of values that include transformative practice, inspired excellence, dynamic inclusiveness, responsible stewardship, and engaged community. Our new strategic directions include: Âť Strategic Direction I: Embracing and increasing the full potential of diversity and inclusion

for the traditional BSN program, and on February 22 we interviewed 272 qualified applicants and accepted 80. The pool was very competitive with the mean incoming GPA being 3.93 overall and 3.94 science. The DNP program continues to attract highly qualified applicants, and enrollment has increased by 2.6% in recent years, with 30 new students enrolled in fall 2018 for an overall program enrollment of 73. The success of our DNP graduates also speaks to the quality of our program. The pass rate on the national FNP certification exam was 100% (2018) and all reported employment at graduation. Due to overwhelming demand, our 18-month online Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Certificate program continues to grow. We now admit students twice a year, and the number of students currently enrolled is 55 (triple the enrollment in January 2017). The DNP program is expanding and transitioning to online delivery with the College developing two new online DNP majors: Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). The first cohorts for the new majors will enroll beginning fall 2020. To support expansion of the DNP Program, the College of Nursing received funding in January 2019 to hire three new faculty members. Two of the positions have been filled, and we are currently recruiting for a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner faculty member. » Strategic Direction II: Sustaining the College’s distinguished reputation for academic excellence; and » Strategic Direction III: Building, promotion, and commanding excellence in teaching, programs, and research. During the 2018–2019 academic year, our undergraduate and graduate programs remained robust and competitive. We admitted 117 new students (80 traditional and 37 accelerated) to our BSN program. The mean entering GPAs were 3.74 (traditional program) and 3.58 (accelerated program). The graduation rates ranged from 97% (traditional program) to 83% (accelerated program). In the spring 2019 application cycle we received 347 applications
Our undergraduate and graduate programs were recently re-accredited for ten years by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). In November 2017, CCNE reviewed our DNP and PHMNP certificate programs. The result of this review was a full 10-year accreditation for both programs with no compliance concerns. In December 2018, the college was notified that the accreditation of our BSN and MSN program has been extended to ten years (expiring June 30, 2027). This past year, we saw doors open to new research opportunities. The College recruited two senior scientists, Dr. Frank Wong and Dr. Graham McDougall. As our new Associate Dean for Research, Dr. McDougall mentored junior faculty and linked senior
faculty with scientists across campus. As a result, faculty scholarship increased and grant activity flourished. In 2018-2019, faculty submitted 17 proposals for funding totaling $17,936,965 and celebrated nine active awards totaling $3,453,948. Our faculty continue to be recognized for their professional accomplishments. In November 2018, Dr. Jim Whyte was inducted as a Fellow in the prestigious American Academy of Nursing (AAN), joining 5 other AAN Fellows in the College of Nursing. Dr. John Lowe was appointed to the National Institute of Nursing Research Advisory Council. Dr. Maria Whyte received the Daisy Faculty Award and was recognized by Capital Regional Medical Center as the FSU College of Nursing “Nurse of Excellence”. All of our faculty have excelled in their specialty areas and several were appointed to national committees. As you can see, 2018–2019 has been an exciting year for the College of Nursing. I want to thank our faculty, staff, and students for their hard work and tenacity. I am especially grateful for the friendship and support of the alumni and friends who served on the College of Nursing Alumni Council, the Advancement Council and the Community Advisory Board. I also want to thank the new “Nole Nurse” alumni group. Together we engaged donors, alumni, and friends, established new scholarships, and spread the College’s message across the state and the country. Without your unwavering support and generosity, the College of Nursing could not have reached its goals. Thank you all! Sincerely, Judith McFetridge-Durdle, PhD, RN, FAAN Dean and Professor P.S.

FACULTY UPDATES TRANSITIONS This year we had several transitions in leadership at the College of Nursing. The Dean and Assistant Dean for the Undergraduate Programs retired over the summer. Both wanted to share a message of reflection about their time at the College of Nursing. We hope you enjoy their messages.
DR. CYNTHIA STUDENIC-LEWIS DR. JUDITH MCFETRIDGE-DURDLE
Retiring Assistant Dean for the Undergraduate Programs
Dean Retires
Cynthia Studenic-Lewis, DNP, MPH, RN joined the College of Nursing in 2003, and will be retiring on August 7, 2019. Dr. Lewis earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Miami in 1976, a Master of Public Health from the University of South Florida in 1989, a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of South Florida in 2006, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Samford University in 2013. Over the course of her forty-three-year career, Dr. Lewis has made numerous contributions to community health, working with institutions such as the Department of Health, the FSU Institute on Aging, and the Children’s Medical Services Program, before joining the College of Nursing.
It has been my privilege to serve as Dean, FSU College of Nursing for the past 5 years and to work so closely with all of you—faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends, donors and, of course, our community partners. The time has flown by! Together we set a new direction for the College of Nursing, and together we made great strides towards reaching our goals. We innovated our nursing programs, strengthened our collaborations across campus, and embedded simulation and inter-professional education across the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. Together we started new programs such as the Veteran’s BSN and the online Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. We recruited excellent faculty, and opened the first “Indigenous Nursing Research for Health Equity Center” in the world. We strengthened our community partnerships and created a new endowment to support first generation nursing students. It has been a busy, challenging, and rewarding time! My years as Dean of the FSU College of Nursing have marked an extraordinary time in my life. I was supported in my role by a talented administrative team, and excellent faculty and staff. One of my great joys as Dean was hosting numerous social engagements, receptions, and events to honor our graduates and alumni, and to strengthen our community partnerships. These interactions contributed to my personal and professional growth, and I am a better person for it—thank you!
After working as an administrator and faculty member for 11 years, Dr. Lewis was named the Assistant Dean of the Undergraduate Program in 2014, and continues to serve in that position. When asked what she has taken from her time as assistant dean she stated, “It has been very rewarding to help in the development of new nurses at such a critical time in healthcare. Especially to see nurses acknowledged for their valuable contributions to the practice of interdisciplinary care.” Dr. Susan Lipfert-Shelton will serve as the next Assistant Dean of the Undergraduate program, and Dr. Lewis is confident she will work hard to continue making great strides in preparing nurses for the future. The College of Nursing at FSU would like to extend the warmest regards to Dr. Lewis for her contributions to this program, and wish her the best of luck in her retirement. 2019 College of Nursing Annual Report

We are also excited to welcome the following faculty members to the College of Nursing. They will be instrumental in helping us accomplish our new strategic directions.
NEW HIRES currently underway, and support the faculty and staff as they continue the growth of research and academic programs,” Grubbs said. These initiatives include expanding the Doctor of Nursing Practice program to include specialty tracks for acute care and psychiatric mental health, developing a PhD in Nursing program, and obtaining additional funding for research. Grubbs earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from FSU in 1973. She went on to receive a Master’s of Science in Nursing (1982) and a Doctorate in Nursing (1991) from the University of Florida.
DR. LAURIE GRUBBS Incoming Interim Dean Florida State University Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Sally McRorie has appointed Laurie Grubbs to serve as interim dean of the College of Nursing, effective July 1. Grubbs succeeds Judith McFetridge-Durdle, who is retiring as dean on June 30. McFetridgeDurdle will return to FSU as a faculty member in January 2020 to assist in the college’s implementation of a PhD program in nursing. “I want to thank Laurie Grubbs for her service while we conduct a national search for a new College of Nursing dean,” said Sally McRorie, provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. “I am confident the college will continue to grow and advance its research mission under Laurie’s leadership.” A College of Nursing alumna and professor emerita, Grubbs spent 35 years as a faculty member within the FSU College of Nursing, including two years as associate dean from 2014-2016. She said that she is looking forward to continuing her service to the college as interim dean. “I am excited to carry on with the initiatives

Florida State University
Frank Y. Wong, a National Institutes of Healthfunded researcher investigating sexual health and substance use/abuse among Asian American and Pacific Islanders in the United States, has joined the Florida State University College of Nursing. Wong is an expert in community-based research targeting racial/ethnic and underserved populations, including immigrants, refugees, and linguistic and sexual minorities with a history of, or who are currently using alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and engaging in HIVrelated risk practices.
Mānoa, is one of a small group of behavioral and social sciences researchers who conduct NIH-funded research addressing sexual health and substance use/abuse, as well as other health disparities among Asian American and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. In addition, he is one of the first Western investigators to examine HIV-related risks among men who have sex with men in China, where they now have the highest incidence and prevalence of HIV and other non-HIV sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis. Collectively, these two sets of work have informed others in the field about how to conduct research with these hard-to-reach and hard-to-engage populations. “The College of Nursing is excited to have a professor of Dr. Wong’s caliber join our faculty,” said Judith McFetridge-Durdle, dean of the College of Nursing. “He brings valuable knowledge to the college and will be instrumental in the expansion of the college’s program of research and research infrastructure.” At Florida State, Wong has joined the team at the Center for Indigenous Nursing Research
He is the principal investigator of a five-year, NIH-funded study, investigating hypertension in HIV-positive African-American and Asian/ Pacific-American men who are sexually involved with other men. “We were elated to have Professor Wong join the faculty at the College of Nursing this fall,” said Vice President for Research Gary K. Ostrander. “Not long after he began his tenure at FSU, he was awarded a $2.25 million NIH grant, a huge show of confidence in the important work he does in community health.” Wong, who previously served as a professor in the departments of Psychology and Tropical Medicine, Medical Microbiology, and Pharmacology at the University of Hawaii at

for Health Equity and works closely with the center’s executive director, John Lowe, the McKenzie Professor in Health Disparities Research. “I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr. John Lowe and look forward to supporting his efforts to expand the research portfolio of the Center for Indigenous Nursing Research for Health Equity,” Wong said. “In my brief time here, I have already been struck by the potential support that FSU can provide for community focused research.” Also known for his work in building research infrastructure, Wong spent seven years of his professional career delivering social and health prevention services that targeted underserved and vulnerable populations such as immigrants and refugees in Boston, and ex-offenders in New York City before returning to academia full-time in 2000. Wong’s previous appointments include associate professorships at Emory University and Georgetown University, and a stint as an associate research professor at George Washington University. He earned a doctorate in social psychology from Texas A&M University in 1990 and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada.
Dr. Marsha Hartline will join the College as Visiting Teaching Faculty II. Dr. Hartline will begin her new position on August 8, 2019. Dr. Hartline holds the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences), the Master of Science in Nursing (FSU), and the Doctor of Nursing Practice (Samford University). She brings 18 years of clinical experience to her new teaching role, including 12 years in medical-surgical nursing at TMH where she has served as the Nurse Manager for Neurology and the Neurological
Immediate Care Unit for the past four years. Dr. Hartline will help fill our gap in medicalsurgical clinical teaching in the undergraduate program.

FACULTY ACHIEVEMENTS FACULTY AWARDS AND HONORS What a year it has been for Dr. Maria Whyte! She was recognized for the difference she makes to students (DAISY Faculty Award), and by her peers for her professional accomplishments (Capital Regional Medical Center’s Nurse of Excellence Award). Dr. Maria De Los Angeles Whyte was nominated for The Daisy Faculty Award by College of Nursing faculty member Dr. Mandy Bamber, who shared the following: “Maria embodies the ideals of the Daisy Faculty Nurse; she is enthusiastic, caring, patient, kind, and open with the students that she works with. She expects their best but gives her best in return. Maria works with students in a way that is both kind and loving, and in return students seek her out for advice, support, and mentoring. She displays a level of enthusiasm for teaching that is not common; when she begins a simulation with students her voice elevates, she becomes excited, and she has a look about her that inspires the students to perform to the best of their abilities. Not to mention, when students finally “get” a concept that they have been trying to master, she is excited for them and will praise their effort and make them feel like they can conquer whatever task is next. Maria is genuinely interested in the students’ lives and will remember to inquire if something has been affecting them. If a student is struggling in school or any aspect in their life she will go out of her way to help them find the support they need to be successful. She treats every student with respect, is fair and unbiased in her treatment of them, and expects them to treat each other in the same manner. Due to this, the students know that when they enter the simulation lab it is a safe place for learning, support, and encouragement. Maria works closely with several faculty to make the simulation lab run smoothly. She handles the complex scheduling with composure, even in the face of many demands on her time and resources. Moreover, she collaborates with graduate students on several doctorate of nursing

DR. MARIA DE LOS ANGELES WHYTE practice projects in many areas of interest. Currently, she is running a pilot study with a DNP student to implement objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) into the DNP program. This endeavor is time consuming and challenging. As a colleague and friend, Maria has always gone out of her way to help me when I have asked. If I needed something for a course I was teaching, she would help me find it. She has helped me with research ideas, has been there to support me when I needed it, has listened to me rant about life, and even offered her sons to
babysit for me. Not only is she an amazing colleague to work with, she is an amazing friend. Maria is one of the most caring, honest, confident, fun-loving, and enthusiastic people I know. She has a big heart; she loves her job and the students that she works with. Her door is always open for the students and because of her accepting, loving, and maternal personality they seek her out for not only for learning but for the emotional support that they often need being so far from home while in college. I truly believe there is no more deserving person than Dr. Maria Whyte for the Daisy Nurse Faculty Award.”

OFFICE OF RESEARCH
The College of Nursing’s Office of Research was established in 2018, and has two aims, (1) to mentor faculty and (2) to increase the College’s research portfolio. These aims have been further differentiated into two core areas (1) administrative and (2) faculty enrichment. Here are some of our accomplishments over the past year in the core areas.
ADMINISTRATIVE »» The CON research website is being updated for maximum on-line exposure. »» The Grants Compliance Office in the CON developed an internal business process for CON grant submissions. »» Florida State University and Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare (TMH) are part of the SMART IRB Agreement (smartirb.org/agreement) which means the FSU IRB will rely on the TMH IRB for studies occurring at TMH or its affiliates. For a list of the organizations that are part of the SMART IRB, go to (smartirb.org/participatinginstitutions). DR. GRAHAM MCDOUGALL
FACULTY ENRICHMENT »» The CON hired five tenure earning/tenured faculty in 2018, which necessitated a major reorganization of our research enterprise. »» All tenure earning faculty in the CON have updated descriptions of their research programs, and registered on Google Scholar citation index. »» Interdisciplinary Research Seminars were scheduled bimonthly, with a total of 11 presentations over the previous academic year. The Office of Research had an amazing year in terms of grants submissions and funding, receiving several prestigious awards, publications, and presentations by our faculty scholars. Since July 2018, faculty have submitted 17 grant proposals, and the college continues to receive funding for nine active grants totaling $1,453,814 for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. We could not have accomplished this without the assistance of Office of Research staff Glenna Schluck, PhD (Statistician and Assistant in Research) and Kaytee Fletcher (Grants Compliance Analyst). The college would also like to acknowledge the contributions of our senior researchers Drs. John Lowe and Frankie Wong. They have enriched the college’s research portfolio with funded studies, as well as with the diversity of their research programs. 10

CENTER FOR RESEARCH & EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE UPDATES
TMH CENTER OVERVIEW Led by the Associate Dean for Research, the Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) Center for Research and Evidence Based Practice (CREBP) promotes nursing practice improvement through interdisciplinary collaborative research and integration of evidence-based knowledge and science into nursing practice, with the goal of optimizing patient and family centered care. The Center also fosters undergraduate, masters, and doctoral level student learning in relation to evidence-based practice and nursing research.
The TMH CREBP’s mission is to serve as a collaborative research center focused on the optimization of health outcomes for patients, their families, and the community. To accomplish this mission, the CREBP has three overarching goals: (1) collaborate with the TMH nursing staff in their efforts to improve nursing practice, (2) promote interdisciplinary collaborative research efforts to institute best practices in healthcare based on evidence, and (3) enhance undergraduate, masters, and doctoral level student learning with regards to evidence based practice and nursing research. During the past year, Glenna Schluck (Statistical Consultant) provided data analysis and methodological content to nursing faculty research projects, and counseling to doctoral students for their evidence-based Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) projects. This year two DNP projects were affiliated with the TMH CREBP. Rachel Busby-Drewek’s project on Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the Postoperative Patient, and Kathryn Munday’s Journaling as a Therapeutic Intervention to Decrease Postpartum Depressive Symptoms and Stress in Mother with an Infant in NICU project.

CENTER FOR INDIGENOUS NURSING RESEARCH FOR HEALTH EQUITY several Advisory Boards. He is excited about the work done by the Center, and continues to work on fostering collaborative opportunities to address the issue of health disparities among Indigenous peoples, communities, and organizations around the globe. Several manuscripts were published that report findings from the research being conducted by the INRHE team. A new project was launched, funded by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA), entitled: “Community Partnership Preventing Health Risks among Florida Urban American Indian & Alaskan Native Young Adults”.
DR. JOHN LOWE The mission of the Center for Indigenous Nursing Research for Health Equity (INRHE) is to collaborate with Native American and Indigenous peoples, communities, and organizations, nationally and internationally, to attain health equity through research, education, and service. To achieve its mission, the Center continues to work with Indigenous peoples, communities, and organizations around the globe. Center Director, and McKenzie Endowed Professor, John Lowe, RN, PhD, FAAN is excited to share some of the Center’s work over the past year. Dr. Lowe was recently appointed to the National Institutes of Nursing Research National Advisory Council. He has participated in several local, state, national, and international conferences as a presenter, panel member, and keynote speaker. He has spoken in front of a broad range of audiences covering topics such as mental health and substance abuse, other health disparities among Native American and Indigenous populations, the need to achieve health equity, and the development of the Center for Indigenous Nursing Research for Health Equity. He continues to represent INRHE and the FSU College of Nursing in many national and international forums such as serving as a National Institutes of Health research grant reviewer, Canadian Institute for Health Research grant reviewer, and on

Dr. Frankie Wong, a National Institutes of Health-funded researcher investigating sexual health and substance use/abuse among Asian American and Pacific Islanders in the United States, joined INRHE as the Acting Associate Director. Dr. Wong, who previously served as a professor in the departments of Psychology and Tropical Medicine, Medical Microbiology, and Pharmacology at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, is one of a small group of behavioral and social sciences researchers who conduct NIH-funded research addressing sexual health and substance use/abuse, as well as other health disparities among Asian American and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. Earlier this year he launched the Vietnam Initiative to identify opportunities and partnerships in Vietnam where FSU can be a key player in education and research/social enterprises. As part of the initiative, Wong invited Ms. Sandy Dang, former Executive Director of the Vietnam Education Foundation (an independent U.S. government agency), to deliver the inaugural public talk (“Opportunities and Challenges: Exploring a Win-Win Partnership in Southeast Asia”) on February 27 at the Claude Pepper Center. During her visit to campus Ms. Dandy also participated in two working groups whose members included the Assistant Provost, Stephen McDowell, Associate Deans from the Colleges of Arts and Science, and Medicine, Directors from the Center for Global Engagement (Cynthia Green, EdD), and Learning Systems Institute (Jeffrey Milligan, PhD), as well as other FSU
constituencies. Dr. Wong is an expert in community-based research targeting racial/ ethnic and underserved populations, including immigrants, refugees, and linguistic and sexual minorities with a history of, or who are currently, using alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs and engaging in HIV-related risk practices. He is the principal investigator of a five-year, NIH-funded study investigating hypertension in HIV-positive African-American and Asian/PacificAmerican men who are sexually involved with other men. As the Center Director, Dr. Lowe cohosted the Substance Abuse Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) Minority Fellowship Program at the American Nurses Association (MFP/ANA) Institute. The focus of this year’s Institute was to celebrate 45 years of excellence in scholarship and providing behavioral health education to more than 400 doctoral and master’s minority nurses, and assisting them to graduate and become successful in their careers in psychiatric mental health as clinicians, educators, researchers, and policy advocates. Over 80 fellows attended the Institute. The theme of the Institute was “National Dialogue on Race and Racism: Its Impact on Ethnic/Racial Minority Behavioral Health Disparities”.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
A MESSAGE FROM ASSOCIATE DEAN ACADEMIC AFFAIRS My first year as the associate dean of academic affairs in the College of Nursing has been exciting. During the 2018–2019 academic year, the undergraduate and graduate programs continue to demonstrate excellence in scholarship, research, and service. » Our undergraduate students continue to perform well on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). The NCLEX pass rates for first time test-takers remains well above the national average. » Undergraduate nursing students continue to represent the largest number of Garnet and Gold scholars at the university this past year. » In the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, several undergraduate students and faculty supplied food and clothing to those affected by the storm. » Twenty-four Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students presented projects at a well-attended Research Exposition where they shared their scholarly work with the university community and the community at large. » DNP students provided care to nearly 400 patients in a remote area mobile clinic in central Florida. This year has also been filled with transition and change. As our current
DR. SUSAN BAKER Dean, Dr. Judith McFetridge-Durdle, retires we welcome our Interim Dean, Dr. Laurie Grubbs. The assistant dean for undergraduate studies, Dr. Cindy Lewis, is also retiring and we welcome the new assistant dean, Dr. Susan Shelton. Throughout this past year, one of the most important university-wide activities we participated in was the university’s preparatory efforts for the accreditation reaffirmation from SACSCOC. I look forward to year two, as we move to introduce two new majors in the DNP program and transition to an online format. I am also excited about the impact our students, faculty, and staff will continue to have on the healthcare of individuals, families, and the community. 2019 College of Nursing Annual Report

DAISY IN TRAINING AWARD remind him to go to lunch, which was going to be a familiar pattern in the weeks that followed. The nurses and patients’ families he interacted with, consistently expressed glowing reports of Chris’s performance, from his attention to detail in caring for his patients to his considerate and patient attitude. Again, in clinicals, Chris’s classmates looked to him, not only as a leader, but as a willing teammate. He was never too busy to lend a hand in managing patients’ needs. Chris has a unique sense of humor, which lends itself even the most difficult tasks and allows them to be performed with ease. The examples of the extent of his attention to detail and desire to teach are numerous. The Daisy in Training award is given to those whose skills will impact the “life and health of others”. This quality is also reaffirmed in a report from Chris’s community clinical instructor, Dr. Maria Whyte. Chris was attempting to screen a mentally ill veteran and “from a distance, it looked like he was talking to a family member. Chris was visibly attentive and open to what the gentleman was saying and he never physically withdrew from the man, despite his poor hygiene.”
Christopher Menz and Dr. Mandy Bamber
Chris’s own words in his cover letter give an insight into this philosophy, “I believe all people deserve access to a multifaceted healthcare system, which promotes collaborative care and respect.”
The DAISY in Training Award is designed to recognize Nursing Students for the “above-and-beyond care and compassion” they show patients and their families as they are learning. College of Nursing faculty members Drs. Mandy Bamber and Maria Whyte wrote the nomination below for this year’s recipient, Veteran and ABSN student Christopher Menz. “It is my great pleasure to recommend Christopher Menz for the Daisy in Training award. Chris is a member of the 2018 Accelerated Bachelors of Science in Nursing (ABSN) class. He came into the program with a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry where he also took part in undergraduate research. These disciplines prepared him for the rigorous challenge of the ABSN program. I met Chris in the obstetrical nursing clinical. Chris’s unique qualities were evident from his first day in the clinical setting. His clinical performance demonstrated even more of a glimpse into the quality of his character, which will make Christopher an exemplary nurse. It was evident that behind that quiet respectful exterior was someone eager to learn, as Chris participated in all the activities designed to prepare students for clinical experience. His qualities of scholarship and leadership also became evident as his classmates turned to Chris for guidance in simulation activities when they were caring for “patients”. Christopher’s teaching ability also became evident in this class. Chris always had questions about the activities as they related to real world experience and his questions showed the quality of his maturity. It was the clinical rotation which gave a glimpse into the compassionate nature of Chris’s character. Throughout the day, as I made my rounds, Chris could always be found in this patient’s room. I even had to

GRADUATE PROGRAM A MESSAGE FROM ASSISTANT DEAN GRADUATE PROGRAM The College of Nursing Graduate Program has out done itself again this past year. One monumental accomplishment has been moving the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program to an online format, and adding two new majors. In fall 2020, all of our DNP program majors will be offered online, and we will continue to have the PMHNP certificate program online. The PMHNP certificate program remains robust, and continues to attract nurse practitioners that want to be psychiatric mental health NPs. Due to the dire need for highly qualified PMH NPs, the demand is so high that we now take in two cohorts of 24-30 students per year. Our graduation rate continues to climb. In spring 2019 we graduated 24 Doctor of Nursing Practice students, five Master’s prepared nurse leaders and educators, and 17 psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners. Many of our DNP students have NP jobs prior to graduating, which indicates the preceptors see qualified, professional practitioners and hire them before they go anywhere else. Two of the Master’s prepared students mentioned they were taking a new promotion to utilize their new degree. Basically our students are making a difference in Florida healthcare. Drs. Craig-Rodriguez and Porterfield submitted two grants to help with student funding. One to Health Resources and Services Administration, and one through the FSU foundation. These grants will help fund faculty salaries as well as provide stipends for the graduate students in the DNP and PMH certificate program. The focus of both grants is to train health care providers to deliver services to underserved population in Florida.
COMMUNITY & STATE ACTIVITIES Our students continue to contribute to the nursing profession and the community. Kelsey Kaiser was chosen for the FSU 2019 Leadership Award. Kelsey has had an outstanding three years as a graduate student, and as a Teaching Assistant (TA) in the College of Nursing. She is highly intelligent, motivated, and possesses the skills for negotiating her studies, as well as dividing her time between

Florida State University
DR. SUSAN PORTERFIELD being employed as a registered nurse, as a teaching assistant for the Undergraduate Integrated Nursing Skills Lab (Simulation Lab), and having her own clinical group for Nursing Care of the Adult with Acute and Chronic Health Disorders Lab at a local hospital. Her accolades over this past year include outstanding evaluations from instructors Dr. Sally Karioth (instructor for supervised teaching), Dr. Maria Whyte (clinical supervisor in the CON Skills Lab), and Dr. Cindy Lewis (Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Program). Additionally, I have had the opportunity to be Kelsey’s major professor for her DNP evidence based project. Kelsey’s passion for nursing and teaching has also guided her capstone evidence based research project, which seeks to examine healthcare provider perceptions of nurse practitioner scope of practice in Florida. The results of her study indicated the there is a gap in clinical knowledge among healthcare providers in regards to what nurse practitioners can actually do under Florida law.
SPECIAL OLYMPICS FALL 2018 LEON COUNTY The Special Olympic Area Director asked us to perform sport physicals for the fall 2018 Special Olympic Games. This year we had eight DNP nurse practitioner students, and three FSU CON faculty, guiding the efforts. The students performed over 50 physicals for the Tallahassee area students. CON students and faculty always jump at the chance to participate in these sport physicals.
REMOTE AREA MEDICAL (RAM) USA Remote Area Medical (RAM) is a major non-profit organization that operates mobile medical clinics throughout the country to deliver free, high-quality vision, dental, and medical care to women, men, and children who do not have access or cannot afford health care. Founded in 1985 by the late Stan Brock, RAM’s Corps of 120,000 Volunteers has treated almost 1 million individuals, delivering a value of $120 million in free health care. For the past three years, FSU College of Nursing’s faculty and DNP students have served as volunteer nurses and APRNs at RAM’s Manatee County mobile clinic. Working collaboratively with providers from around the state, FSU’s nursing faculty and DNP students have provided needed primary medical care and mental health services to over a thousand uninsured West Central Florida residents. Each year, for two full days, the students hone their clinical skills with faculty preceptors, providing primary care screenings and treatment in the areas of Women’s Health, Diabetes Care, and Cardio Metabolic health. Planning is underway to expand the RAM mobile medical weekend clinic to the Northwest Florida region. Three College of Nursing faculty members (Drs. Alicia Craig-Rodriguez, Sarah Luce, and Ellen Huenink) and 11 Doctor of Nursing Practice Students participated in the Remote Area Medical Clinic in Sarasota during the weekend of October 13, 2018. They provided free medical screenings in the General Medical Clinic (diabetes, heart disease, screening and prevention), Women’s Health (well-woman exams, pap smears, and breast exams) and Procedure Clinic (dermatology and otolaryngology). They saw a total of 392 patients and provided services valued at $89,309. Susan Porterfield, PhD, FNP-c Assistant Dean, Graduate Program

GRADUATE CERTIFICATE
A MESSAGE FROM THE PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER CERTIFICATE PROGRAM COORDINATOR PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER CERTIFICATE PROGRAM (PMHNP) Active recruiting for the online PMHNP certificate program has been nationwide. The past two years we have had an information booth at the APNA conferences. Additionally, we have advertised on Facebook and through nursing organizations. This led to an increase in the number of applicants for the spring 2018 class, so we decided to have spring and fall start dates for the program. Fall 2020 will bring the beginning to our new online DNP Psychiatric Mental Health program. This program will include a focus on entrepreneurship and new models of care utilizing technology to achieve mental health equity.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The PMHNP graduate program coordinator has been actively engaged in practice, teaching and research activities that will promote our graduate psychiatric current and future program to include: » Member of the UF-FSU CTSA advisory committee and community engagement committee » Member of the advisory committee for the development of FSU Mood and Anxiety Disorder Center of Excellence » Member of the Mental Health Council Leon County Advisory Committee

GRADUATE STUDENT HIGHLIGHTS FSU GRADUATE STUDENT PURSUES DOCTORATE WITH HELP OF ACCOMMODATING ACADEMIC PROGRAM Graduate student Mishya Otis was featured as a Student Star in a write up provided by David Heller from University Communications.
Mishya Otis is a third-year graduate student at Florida State University pursuing a doctorate in nursing practice and following her passion for dermatology. Otis, a native of Sarasota, earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing at the University of South Florida in Tampa. Following graduation, Otis decided to continue her education and work toward a more impactful job in nursing. “I decided to further my education at the end of my undergraduate nursing program because I wanted to be on the forefront of practicing preventive care,” Otis said. “When I was doing nursing in undergrad, I realized I didn’t necessarily want to be in the hospital setting. I wanted more of a leadership role.” That goal led Otis to FSU’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program, which is designed to prepare nurses for the highest levels of medical practice. “I chose to attend FSU because it was my first choice for graduate education, and it came highly recommended to me by my undergraduate instructor and a lot of nurses where I was doing clinical work,” Otis said. “I knew FSU was the school for me when I reached out and immediately was offered a meeting to discuss my educational goals and interests with one of the program directors.” The Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Florida State offers a unique opportunity for students to pursue graduate education while balancing other responsibilities in their lives. The program includes six core courses online, and the remaining classes are provided via interactive television. The TV link creates a live two-way connection between students and instructors located in Tallahassee, Panama City and Sarasota.

MISHYA OTIS “I attend a lot of regional conferences and workshops to expand my clinical knowledge in order to become a highly valued nurse practitioner,” she said. “I want to be the best that I can be when I graduate.” Otis has also been recognized for academic achievements at FSU. She is an active member and scholarship recipient of the Phi Sigma Theta National Honor Society and the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. In addition, Otis is the recipient of scholarships from the Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation, the J. Milton Hoffa and Nellie E. Hoffa Memorial Foundation and the Mary E. Parker Foundation. In Sarasota, Otis is conducting a research study for her nurse practitioner project. She is evaluating whether appearance-based motives increase sunscreen use among young adults. She hopes to find a more effective way to encourage people to use sunscreen for the prevention of melanoma.
That option is crucial for Otis as she juggles a hectic schedule in her final year of school. She is working hard to complete her degree while holding a job and taking care of her two children. FSU’s Doctor of Nursing Practice program is structured in a way that helps students like Otis succeed. It offers more flexible online and interactive classes. That kind of system allows Otis to work on a degree remotely, which means she can live and work close to her family in Sarasota.
“The faculty members really encourage us to go and seek out opportunities,” Otis said. “They want us to enrich others, including faculty and peers, when we find opportunities or learn new things so we all can benefit from the knowledge.”
“FSU’s hybrid program allows me to not only continue my doctoral education through video conferencing in Sarasota, but it also allows me to continue balancing work, home health nursing and caring for my young children,” Otis said.
As a graduate student at FSU, Otis has excelled in her personal, professional and academic endeavors. She has taken advantage of a wide array of experiential and networking opportunities, and she attributes much of her success to those special opportunities.
Through the DNP program, Otis has received a lot of valuable opportunities. She has attended professional development events to enhance her skills and share lessons. Otis has exceeded the required number of clinical hours in dermatology.
“I think you have to network with experts who are passionate about your field of interest and hone your clinical skills,” Otis said. “If you’re going to be passionate about a specialty, be passionate about learning.”
Florida State University
Otis will graduate in spring 2019. She hopes to work as a family nurse practitioner in dermatology. Otis also plans to apply for a nurse practitioner fellowship and other postgraduate dermatology training programs.
STUDENT PROJECT SELECTED FOR POSTER PRESENTATION AT NATIONAL CONFERENCE Congratulations to graduating Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Student Colleen Lindner and her major professor Alicia Craig-Rodriguez, DNP, MBA, APRN, FNP-BC. Colleen’s DNP project abstract titled QI Evaluation: A Nurse Driven Foley Elimination Initiative has been accepted as a poster presentation for the 2019 American Nurses Credentialing Center’s National Magnet Conference®, October 10–12 in Orlando, FL. The purpose of Colleen’s project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a pre-procedural voiding protocol and post-procedural urinary retention algorithm toward eliminating unnecessary indwelling catheter use and associated hematuria among patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation or transaortic catheter valve replacement.

The search committee unanimously recommended Dr. Shirey for her exemplary record and vast knowledge, experience and commitment to these characteristics.
