ACADEMICS

Comprehensive programs prepare the next health-care leaders

The URI College of Nursing master’s degree program, already among the best in the country, has risen again in the national rankings, moving into the top 50 in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report. The B.S. and D.N.P. also ranked in top 100.

The College’s master’s program is now ranked 45th in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report, among the leading authorities in college and university rankings, a significant improvement over last year’s 53rd spot. The program has consistently risen in the rankings each year, making an impressive climb from #133 as recently as 2016. “We are thrilled to be recognized among the top 50 programs in the country, which is a credit to our dynamic faculty, staff, clinical partners, and, of course, our top-notch students,” College of Nursing Dean Barbara Wolfe said. “Everyone in the College has played an important role in achieving this distinction, which only hardens our resolve to educate the best nurses and nurse scientists, who are prepared to be health- care leaders in the community locally, nationally, and globally.” U.S. News & World Report also ranked doctor of nursing practice programs, with the URI College of Nursing maintaining its impressive ranking of 80th in the country. About one-third of the URI College of Nursing’s faculty members are recognized Fellows in national nursing organizations, including the American Academy of Nursing, for their distinguished academic achievements. The number of faculty publications, funded external grants, and committed gifts to the College has all increased over the last five years as the College continues to impact health and health care.

New Fellowship Boost for Nursing Graduate Students

At a time of growing need for nurses, the U.S. is also facing a nursing faculty shortage. The URI College of Nursing is working to address that. A small group of anonymous donors has committed $600,000 to support the Dr. Donna Schwartz-Barcott and Dr. Hesook Suzie Kim Nursing Fellowship for graduate-level research and professional development. The endowment provides fellowships with a preference for students on the Ph.D. track but will also consider D.N.P. candidates. The fund aims to develop the next generation of nursing faculty. An additional anonymous donor has issued a $500,000 match for all new gifts made to the Barcott-Kim Fellowship through Dec. 31, 2022. The Barcott-Kim Fellowship will help build the faculty pipeline by selecting and supporting registered nurses whose research interest stems from their area of practice.

Experiential Learning Around the College

SIM training

Students in Clinical Associate Professor Diane DiTomasso's Family Health Nursing course (NUR 354) practice postpartum care on mother and baby in the Rhode Island Nursing Education Center's advanced simulation labs, which feature lifelike mannequins. The course trains students in obstetrics and pediatrics, allowing them to practice caregiving in a simulated environment.

Big Ideas. Bold Plans. Strategic Opportunities

For the College to address the national nurse and nurse-faculty shortage, we must take advantage of strategic opportunities with quick action. Honoring the co-founders of URI’s doctoral nursing programs, the Dr. Donna Schwartz-Barcott & Dr. Hesook Suzie Kim Nursing Fellowship enhances the College’s ability to recruit and retain doctoral candidates. Recognizing Drs. Schwartz-Barcott and Kim’s more than 80 combined years of service, more than $750,000 has been raised to date. An anonymous donor is inspiring others to expand on this initial investment with a $500,000 matching grant through December 2022.

Classroom Debrief

Nursing Simulation Coordinator Jessica Skaltsis leads a discussion with students, breaking down their performance in a simulated hospital room in a lab at the Rhode Island Nursing Education Center. The College often employs live actors, along with lifelike mannequins, to help students prepare for patient care.
