Message from the Interim Dean As this edition of the Dean’s report goes to press, I am continually impressed with our faculty, students and alumni who collectively exemplify Excellence in Action! The 2013-2014 academic year will kick off our celebration of the School’s 50th anniversary, and we are particularly excited about the upcoming Gala on October 5, 2013. Be sure to take a look at the School’s historic timeline highlighting some of the School’s accomplishments over the past 50 years (p. 2-3).

This past year, there were so many accomplishments in the School it is difficult to summarize them in a single report. The number of students in the nursing major continues to grow in record numbers on the Edwardsville campus and the regional campus in Carbondale, as well as in our four graduate specializations. This academic year also celebrated the graduations of the first cohorts of Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students and baccalaureate students from the regional campus in Carbondale.

Nationwide initiatives continue to influence our programmatic structures and how we prepare professional nurses. n

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) recommends that advanced practice nurses have a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree by 2015. Our post master’s DNP program is one way to fulfill that mandate.

The recent focus on interprofessional education is improving the quality of all health sciences programs. Faculty in the Schools of Nursing, Dental Medicine, Pharmacy and Medicine worked together and presented two faculty retreats to look at methods to structure interprofessional didactic and clinical experiences.

I would like to acknowledge the contribution of Dr. Marcia Maurer as Dean of the SIUE School of Nursing who retired July 2013. Dr. Maurer’s vision and leadership set the trajectory for the School’s expansion and growth during the last 10 years. She partnered with clinical agencies in the region to position the School as

On behalf of the School, our students, faculty and alumni I want to thank you for your continued volunteerism, involvement and financial support of the School of Nursing. We look forward to seeing you at the Gala on October 5, 2013!

Milestones are particularly significant occasions in a university setting, highlighting a wide range of progress and achievement.

Undeniably, the School of Nursing’s 50th anniversary is important to our University community, but its significance reaches far beyond the SIUE campus. Nurses are at the heart of the health care system, and the reach of the profession is vast and foundational.

Indeed the School has truly lived up to its mission: Creativity to Teach, Curiosity to Learn, Courage to Serve, Compassion to Care, in a diverse and complex world, SIUE Nursing: Excellence in Action. The fully accredited degree programs offered by the School are outstanding and student involvement in community outreach increases yearly. This high level of engagement is possible because of the School’s talented and committed faculty members. Year after year, they educate skilled nursing professionals who dedicate their lives to a demanding, yet rewarding, career.

During this anniversary year, we recognize the administrators and faculty who have laid the foundation for success and the alumni who have served thousands of people in communities around the world.

In reading this publication, it will become apparent that the School’s history is one of achievement and service.

Yet as we acknowledge the history of the School, continuing to provide our students with a high-quality education remains at the heart of what we do. Nursing’s faculty, staff and alumni deserve all the accolades received during this anniversary year and we look forward to the School’s very bright future, as well.

Congratulations to the SIUE School of Nursing for 50 years of excellence in education.

Let’s celebrate the “e”!

3 TIMELINE

Marcia Maurer, RN, PhD 2003-2013

Letter from Mary Ann Wehrle – Advisory Board President There we were on the Carbondale campus participating in our pre-nursing courses, when we learned that instead of going to Chicago for our clinicals, we would be going to live at Beulah Residence (a residence for women run by the Salvation Army) in East St. Louis and have our clinical experiences in area locations.

In the spring of 1964, we arrived. Edwardsville was where the Mississippi River Festival was held. Buildings for classes were yet to be built, and most of us in the Class of 1966 never had a class on the Edwardsville campus. What a difference 47 years makes!

Since that time, I have had the opportunity to be associated with the School of Nursing in many ways. The progressive atmosphere and attention to the learning environment has been focused and active.

Now, I have the honor to be the President of the School of Nursing Advisory Board. We have had many graduates of the School as members and invite other alumni to be involved. It is always a good opportunity to be with these nurses and the faculty to share ideas and discover ways we can support the School.

I hope all School of Nursing alumni will join us for the Excellence Gala and 50th Anniversary Celebration on October 5, 2013 at the Morris University Center. It will be a great time to remember and reconnect. Hope to see you there.

Mary Anne Wehrle, RN, BSN, MSN President, SIUE School of Nursing Advisory Board

Celebrating 50-Year Partnerships The SIUE School of Nursing strives for high levels of excellence in every aspect of student achievement and involvement. Coupled with experiential learning in real world settings, nursing students learn the skills necessary to become knowledgeable and compassionate professionals.

The variety of experiential learning opportunities offered by the School has been a distinguishing factor in the development of students over the last 50 years. Countless alumni credit their clinical experiences in urban, metropolitan and rural areas as a key role in the quality of their education. These perspectives are derived from partnerships with hospitals, clinics and other health care agencies that have been established during the past half century.

The School of Nursing values all experiential learning partners over the last

five decades. Currently, the School has more than 1,000 active clinical site and East Side Health District in East St. Louis, Ill., have been helping SIUE nursing students reach their full potential by offering clinical experiences since the establishment of the program on the Edwardsville campus. The continuous support from these two health care agencies has been monumental in the formation and continuation of the program.

“Due to the continued partnership with the SIUE School of Nursing, metro-east citizens have been privileged to receive quality nursing services. The nursing students not only offer medical care, they impart their diverse cultural experiences with our clients. This has truly been a winwin for everyone touched by this collaboration.”

Extending the School’s Reach As programming continued to develop, the School of Nursing began looking for ways to extend their reach in the community and assist nurses in the region. Continuing education (CE) opportunities began in 1973, as faculty traveled throughout central and southern Illinois, offering quality educational opportunities to registered nurses and other health professionals. The School remains dedicated to providing significant resources to continuing education with the ultimate goal of improving health care.

The 1980s brought outreach efforts in the form of completion programs.

These programs served RNs, many of whom were employed on a fulltime basis, who had a diploma or associates degree and wanted to earn a bachelor’s. These programs were offered in a variety of locations including Mt. Vernon, Carbondale, Olney and East St. Louis.

In addition to assisting nurses in the region, the School fully believed that everyone had the right to quality health care. Community Nursing Services (CNS) was established in 1990. A nurse-managed health center, CNS’s goal was, and continues to be, to address and eliminate health disparities for underserved and vulnerable populations. The center provides affordable primary health care, education and wellness services in St. Clair and Madison counties

Still Making History At the May 2013 commencement, the School of Nursing graduated the first cohort of students from the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program.

The DNP program, which began in fall 2011, is the School’s fifth graduate degree offered, but is the first doctoral degree. The hooding of 10 members in the inaugural class marks a significant milestone for the School.

50 YEARS ON CALL

“The first DNP cohort graduated with enhanced leadership and policy analysis skills, improved abilities to translate existing knowledge, and the project management skills to improve health care outcomes,” said Dr. Kathy Ketchum, assistant dean for graduate programs. “Our DNP program excels in preparing nursing leaders for the 21st century.”

In addition to the graduating DNP cohort, the School awarded bachelor of science degrees in nursing to the first graduating cohort from the SIUE traditional nursing program in Carbondale. Fifteen students walked across the commencement stage eager to begin their careers in nursing.

The SIUE School of Nursing began partnering with SIU Carbondale in 2010 to offer a bachelor’s level nursing program in an effort to provide a solution to the nursing shortage in the southern Illinois region.

Dr. Susan Winters, director of the nursing program in Carbondale, was proud to witness the first cohort’s graduation. “This important milestone was the culmination of an abundance of planning and hard work,” she said. “Everyone involved in bringing the program to fruition anticipates the contributions these, and future, graduates will bring to health care in the southern Illinois region.”

Recognizing Preceptors For student nurses, there will be many experienced nurses who will influence their professional life. One of the most important may be their preceptor. The School of Nursing’s preceptors, or experts who provide practical experience and training to students, are an integral part of professional development, and they play a vital role in educating capable and caring nurses. Preceptors are critical in transitioning students from the classroom to the patient-care setting by providing invaluable real-world nursing practice experiences. The School appreciates it preceptors and their generosity, knowledge and devotion to education.

The School of Nursing continues to record robust growth in its enrollment numbers as more than 9,000 nurses have graduated from SIUE.
