Message From The Dean Wendy Likes, PhD, DNSc, APRN-BC, FAANP

his year has been a time for celebrating a history of success and a bright and promising future. As we compile this annual report, I continue to be humbled and awed by the excellent efforts by our College of Nursing. We have a strong tradition of developing distinguished nurse leaders among our students and alumni, as well as our faculty. In this edition of the Fall Annual Report, you will see how we continue to build nurse leaders across all four of our missions – education, research, clinical care and public service. You will read in our recap of Chancellor Steve J. Schwab’s State of the University Address (page 4) that UTHSC is growing in enrollment, revenue and infrastructure. We are proud of our contributions to this success, which ultimately has a positive impact in our community. As always, the information in this report is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the work being done at all levels in our college. We hope you enjoy reading about the many excellent contributions made by our growing faculty (page 6), and that you will join us in congratulating Dr. Diane Pace, who has been named the North American Menopause Society’s Certified Menopause Practitioner of the Year (page 21). As our faculty excels, so does our student body. Read about our PhD students selected as Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Scholars (page 20). And we are thrilled to spotlight our excellent NCLEX and certification pass rates (page 18). We are also dedicated to celebrating and honoring the excellence of those who have paved the way for all of us. We are proud to honor a distinguished alumna, former faculty member and international leader in nursing theory, Dr. Margaret Newman (page 33). We were privilege to not only host the biennial Margaret Newman Scholars Dialogue, which was attended by national and international nurses, but we also kicked-off our campaign for the CON Margaret Newman Endowed Professorship. The Margaret Newman Endowed Professorship is essential to recruiting the best nursing faculty to UTHSC to focus on nursing theory. On behalf of our nursing faculty, staff and students, who commit themselves to excellence in all that they do, we are very pleased to provide this review of our last year of work. I invite you not only to stay in touch with your CON through these reports, but also to visit us at one of our many activities. One notable event at which I hope to see each of you, is our first UTHSC NightinGala celebration, scheduled for May 5, 2017, which will help us kick-off National Nurse’s Week. The event will be filled with fun, food and friends. We are planning a very exciting speaker, whom we will be announcing soon. I invite each of you to visit us at facebook.com/nursing.uthsc, twitter.com/UTHSCnursing, and instagram.com/uthscnursing. Please like and share our stories about the exciting things we are doing. We hope each of you will also share your own good news and important work. We enjoy hearing from you! Best Wishes,

Message From The Alumni Board President James A. Hutcheson IV, RN, APN, CPNP-AC

Dear Fellow Alumni:

his year has been exceptional for the College of Nursing. Our Nursing Alumni weekend was a big success and honoring “Coach” Jim Stockdale was a treat for everyone, especially his former Nurses League basketball team players! Our spring board meeting was focused on the strategic plan and engaging alumni and preceptors. The meeting in November was filled with productive board business and just a “little” fun as we cheered for the Vols alongside our colleagues from the College of Pharmacy Alumni Board! This annual report contains vital information about the UTHSC College of Nursing and the challenges and opportunities that arise as we strive to achieve our goals and maintain our current level of success. The college continues to be on the cutting edge in the preparation of nurse leaders who will mold the future of nursing. I encourage you to mark your calendars for two college events in 2017: our Spring Alumni Weekend May 4-5 and our firstever NightinGala celebration. The NightinGala will honor the impact of nursing in our health care community and I hope you will all join us on Friday, May 5, 2017 for what promises to be an exciting evening! More information is coming soon. Ongoing support of our students, faculty, staff, and outreach programming is essential. As you make your charitable giving plans, don’t forget to include a gift to the UTHSC College of Nursing. Make your gift to the college this year and every year! An annual gift as well as planned giving through your will or estate plans provides ongoing support which allows the college to continue down its current path of success. If you would like information on planned giving, please contact Bethany Goolsby in the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, at 901-448-8212. Annual gifts may be made online by going to www.uthscalumni.com/give, or by calling our annual giving office 901-448-4974. I often reflect on “Where Would You Be Without UTHSC,” and I encourage you to do the same. I know I would not enjoy the same success in my nursing career without it! I am honored to serve as your alumni board president. Sincerely,

“Hutch” James A. Hutcheson, IV, RN, APN, CPNP-AC President, Alumni Board of Directors UTHSC College of Nursing

College of Nursing Receives Grant for PhD Programs Scholars

he UTHSC College of Nursing was among 32 nursing schools in the country to be selected for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Future of Nursing Scholars Program. Dean Wendy Likes and Dr. Carolyn Graff, PhD program director in the College of Nursing, submitted the proposal for a total $150,000 grant that will be be used to fund two students pursuing PhDs. The students, Michelle Harrison, MSN, MBA, RNC, and Patricia Mosley, CRNA, will receive $75,000 each to obtain their PhDs. “I am extremely honored to have been selected into this program. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is known for its support and growth of the nursing professional. To me, knowledge is power and it has been important for me in my career to constantly gain knowledge to improve my ability to provide care for my patients,” Harrison said. The curriculum will follow a three-year program for which the students will be awarded $25,000 for each year, setting up the students for success with leadership training and partnerships with research mentors who align with their research interests. “As an honored, grant award recipient from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, my ultimate educational goal of attaining my Doctor of Philosophy degree in nursing will be realized,” Mosley said. “This award will allow me to concentrate exclusively on my research of the effects of anesthesia on patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, who are undergoing surgical procedures which require general anesthesia.” Dr. Graff will be Harrison’s adviser while Kristen Archbold, PhD, RN, associate professor in the College of Nursing, will be Mosley’s adviser. After obtaining their PhDs, the graduates will be eligible to apply for a oneyear $50,000 competitive post-doctoral award faculty position. “The PhD programs are almost like apprenticeship programs,” Dr. Graff said. “The faculty and student work side by side. It’s a growth process and experience. They will come out of it being different, because they have grown personally and professionally.”

Michelle Harrison, MSN, MBA, RNC

For nursing, it’s a different mindset when you begin to do research. You have to think differently, and that’s what this program does – it helps you think differently, so that you are the one developing the knowledge and clinicians apply the knowledge.” Dean Wendy Likes According to a report by the Health and Medicine Division, enrollment in doctorate of nursing programs has increased 160 percent, but enrollment in nursing PhD programs has increased by only about 15 percent. This puts great pressure on the current 1 percent of the nursing workforce who have PhDs, most of whom are nearing retirement, to train future nurses.

Patricia Mosley, CRNA

“Nursing is a clinical field,” said Dean Likes. “For nursing, it’s a different mindset when you begin to do research. You have to think differently, and that’s what this program does – it helps you think differently, so that you are the one developing the knowledge and clinicians apply the knowledge.” The role of the nurse is unique in that it combines the clinical, patient and community aspect of medical care, so increasing the number of nurse educators is critical to meeting the demand of nurses needed now and in the future. The grant will allow the College of Nursing to develop the next generation of PhD nurse leaders and scientists, contributing toward increasing the number of nurse educators. Each PhD nurse leader has the opportunity to educate thousands of nurses during their careers. “We want to prepare nurse leaders. We don’t have enough nurse scientists. The nursing shortage is approaching critical levels,” said Dean Likes. “The number of nurses that we need is increasing, but our supply is not increasing. So it’s really important we are preparing future educators to supply the pipeline.”

Diane Pace Named NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner of the Year

he North American Menopause Society (NAMS) recently recognized Diane T. Pace, PhD, APRN, FNP-BC, NCMP, FAANP, associate professor and DNP program director, with the NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner of the Year Award during its 27th Annual Meeting held in Orlando, Florida in October. The NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner of the Year Award is presented to a current NAMS certified menopause practitioner who exemplifies outstanding work in the field and to their patients. “I’m very honored and blessed to be recognized by my colleagues as the NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner of the Year,” said Pace. “I am among the few nurse practitioners in this multiprofessional organization and it is truly an honor to receive this recognition from the premier organization of education and research Dr. Diane Pace for the health of women at midlife and beyond.” Dr. Pace was among the first to receive the NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner credentials in 2002. She also served as past president of the organization from 2012-2013 and was the first nurse practitioner to serve in this leadership role. “Menopause is not a disease,” said Dr. Pace. “Organizations like NAMS helps women who are at midlife and beyond formulate questions in order to better manage menopause.”

He further hinted at the creation of a Global CORNET Award, which the newly appointed Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Global Partnerships Stephania Cormier, PhD, will help establish. Dr. Goodman closed by stating that in order to be successful, it is going to take everyone working together. “To reach our communal research mission, vision and metric goals will require the entire UTHSC research community supporting this Institutional Operational Strategic Plan for Research and working in alignment toward organizational research goals,” Dr. Goodman said.

Back-to-School Health Fair Reflects C

he annual Back-to-School Family Affair Event is extremely important to the entire UTHSC family, Pamela Houston, director of the Office of Special Events and Community Affairs at UTHSC, said after the most recent one held in July. Sponsored by Omega Ministries/ Omega Healthy Practices and the Healthcare Organizations of Greater Memphis Coalition, the 28th annual Backto-School Family Affair was hosted by UTHSC in the Student-Alumni Center. Originally started as an event that assisted 150 children from the Memphis area, it has grown to serve more than 1,000 from all over the Mid-South, with free health screenings, physical exams, immunizations, dental, vision and blood pressure screenings. UTHSC has participated in the event for more than 20 years, and two years ago, UTHSC began doing a school supply drive several weeks before the event on campus to equip students for the new school year. “Many rendered their services on Saturday and gave liberally toward the school supply drive, as we understand the challenges in our community concerning poverty and education,” Houston said. “If

we can do anything to minimize obstacles that so often hinder a successful school year for our youth, we are only tapping into a portion of our mission. This is our call and our responsibility.” The Office of Special Events and Community Affairs played a large role by directing the supply drive with 13 dropoff locations throughout campus several weeks before the event. More than four years ago, UTHSC began purchasing backpacks to donate at the event. This year, UTHSC was able to purchase 1,000 backpacks, which were filled with the school supplies and given away to students. The event, which is held each July, brings together health care professionals and student volunteers from organizations including the UTHSC Colleges of Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy, Hamilton Eye Institute, Baptist Memorial Hospital, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, Regional One Health, Shelby County Health Department, Lifeblood and many more to provide health care to the children in attendance regardless of whether their families are insured or uninsured. Among the services provided, 161 physical exams were done by the

Twenty four bicycles were donated and given away at this year’s Health Fair.

UTHSC College of Nursing and 194 dental screenings were performed by the UTHSC College of Dentistry. Students were also surprised to learn that bicycles were donated to the event— 12 from Noah Boyd Lodge, 11 from Firestone Dental Group, and one from Orion Federal Credit Union. A raffle was held every 30 minutes in which students drew names for the chance to win a bike. Bicycle helmets were donated by Safe Kids Mid-South. Families from the UTHSC Shelby County Relative Caregiver Program, a program developed to assist children who are being raised by their relatives because their parents are not able to do so, were also invited to attend. “The event Saturday was truly a blessing to the families we serve because it provided them with some of the necessary items and services needed for the children to start school on a positive note,” said Teresa English, program administrator. “With the university providing backpacks, school supplies and the opportunity to get the necessary immunizations for school, a lot of stress was taken off of grandmothers and other relatives in the program.”

Bicycle helmets were donated by Safe Kids Mid-South.

Building a Legacy The Margaret Newman Scholars Dialogue

Nurses from as far away as Japan came to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center recently to honor one of the College of Nursing’s most illustrious graduates – Margaret A. Newman, RN, PhD, an international leader in nursing theory. In early fall, the College of Nursing hosted the biennial Margaret Newman Scholars Dialogue on campus. The event drew nurses from around the country, as well as from across the globe, to discuss the topic of “Health as Expanding Consciousness,” a nursing theory developed by Dr. Newman, and the title of a book she authored three decades ago. It was also an opportunity to kick off fundraising for an endowed professorship in the College of Nursing in Dr. Newman’s name. The Margaret Newman Endowed Professorship will sustain its namesake’s legacy for future nurse scholars by focusing on nursing theory and recruiting the best nursing faculty candidates in the country to the UTHSC College of Nursing. Dr. Newman’s theory of nursing is that it is more than just taking care of a patient’s illness, but involves looking at the patient as a whole. It has resonated particularly with nurses in Japan. So much so, that a contingent came to Memphis for the September dialogue, bearing beautifully printed envelopes tied with ribbons and containing money to contribute to the endowed professorship in honor of the woman on whom they model their practices. They also got to meet Dr. Newman, who was the guest of honor. Nurse Emiko Endo, who retired recently from Musashino University in Tokyo, Japan, led the contingent of Japanese nurses and nursing students who came for the event. Some were members of the nonprofit organization called the Newman Theory/Research/Practice Study Society, which includes 150 members in Japan who are dedicated to increasing awareness of nursing practices based on Dr. Newman’s theory and focus on treating patients as a whole, rather than just their illness. Carolyn Graff, professor and director of the PhD program in Nursing Science at UTHSC, organized the event. “It’s truly an honor to know her,” Dr. Graff said of Dr. Newman. “When you know Margaret Newman, you become her friend. She’s probably one of the most caring human beings I’ve met.” An endowed professorship is $500,000 in the UTHSC College of Nursing. For information, contact C. Adele Hixon-Day, director of development, (901) 448-5516 or giving@uthsc.org. To make a gift online, go to www.uthscalumni.com/newman. Nursing Annual Report 2016 33
