They honored the 50 year (class of 1969) and the 25 year (class of 1994) from Mansfield General Hospital School of Nursing.<br />
<br />
Three of the scholarship winners were present. The winners of the $1000 scholarships are Janet Arnold, Alena Holmes and Rachael Westler. The winner of the Endowed Scholarship, Hollie Dowalter, was unable to attend. She received $2350.00<br />
<br />
The new Dean of the College of Nursing, Carrie Keib PhD, RN, was present. She introduced herself to the attendees and made brief remarks.<br />
<br />
The Nursing Alumni are celebrating 100 years of nursing education in Richland and Ashland Counties. The Mansfield General Hospital School of Nursing opened in 1919 with four students. Only one completed the requirements and graduated in 1922. The school closed in 2001 after having graduated 1731 nurses. MedCentral College of Nursing began accepting students in 1999 and graduated the first students in 2003. Ashland University acquired MedCentral College of Nursing in 2010 and the first students graduated from AU Dwight Schar College of Nursing (now Dwight Schar College of Nursing & Health Sciences) in 2011.<br />
<br />
The winners of the $100 raffle were Sandra Burnett Wigton (MGH 1969), Brunda Bedell Benson (MGH 1963) and Judy Greer Davis (MGH 1965).<br />

Ashland University Nursing students donated <a href="http://www.projectnightnight.org/" target="_blank">Night Night Packages</a> to homeless children 12 and under. Students were able to send 11 Night Night bags to Harmony House and Richland County Children Services.<br />
<br />
Every child who receives one of the Night Night Packages leaves the shelter owning a book which encourages reading and family bonding, a security blanket which can be cuddled, and a stuffed animal which can become a cherished friend.

"Although the heroin epidemic sees far greater numbers of overdoses and deaths in our state, binge drinking on college campuses is more of an epidemic with college students aged 18-24," says Clayburn. "Six alcohol poisoning deaths occur every day in the United States. Binge drinking results in serious consequences such as the potential for death, as well as the potential to be sexually assaulted (97,000 sexual assaults were reported in the U.S. last year due to alcohol on college campuses). Making students aware of these and other serious consequences is so important!"<br />

9/15/17 ASHLAND, Ohio – Ashland University’s Dwight Schar College of Nursing and Health Sciences (CONHS) was awarded $199,325 in renewal grant funding from the Ohio Board of Nursing’s Nurse Education Grant Program (NEGP). This two-year grant funding makes possible Ashland University’s Accent on the Individual: Increasing Student Enrollment and Faculty/Instruction Personnel through Academic/Health Care System Partnerships.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Cabin, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to Dr. Faye Grund, dean of the Dwight Schar College of Nursing and Health Sciences, this project expands on the previous NEGP grant project to increase baccalaureate professional nurses and promote graduate nursing education. NEGP 2015-17 grant program partnerships with Marion Technical College and Stark State College will continue through 2019, in addition to new grant partnerships with North Central State College and Avita Health System.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Cabin, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Goal one of the project is to increase Ashland University’s RN to BSN program enrollment capacity by 50 students in 2019,” Grund said. “Associate degree students at partnering institutions will have the opportunity to dually enroll at their institution and Ashland’s CONHS to streamline their pathway from an associate’s degree to a bachelor’s degree.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Cabin, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Jody Hostetler, RN to BSN faculty member and faculty lead on the grant, said the project is designed to provide a seamless progression for nurses seeking to complete a baccalaureate degree.</div>

“This model promotes adult student success by offering courses in a more manageable and supportive 16-week hybrid delivery method on the grant partner campuses,” she added. “Avita Health System nurses will receive support for those new to online learning including a hybrid delivery of the seven-week courses in the 16-week semester, both face-to-face and online at the Avita Health System campuses.”</div>

The second project goal increases graduate nursing programs enrollment capacity by 40 students in 2019. Grund said this increase of Ohio nursing students will be accomplished through the expansion of recruiting resources, student advising and education models for graduate candidates at partnering institutions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Cabin, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Grund said AU is working to create multiple graduate pathways for nursing students. Through the project work of the 2015-17 NEGP grant project, the CONHS received approval to begin the DNP Health Systems Leadership track in the fall of 2017. The Nurse Educator Certificate program for the fall of 2017 will expand nurses’ content expertise regarding curriculum development and educational theory preparing them for roles in the classroom, laboratory, clinical and online learning environments.</div>

Kathy Durflinger, vice president and chief nursing officer for Avita Health System, said Avita Health System is very excited to partner and participate in the RN to BSN Grant Program with Ashland University.</div>

“As an organization, we are committed to staff development and ongoing professional education. In our efforts to meet the state and national goal that all registered nurses achieve their BSN by the year 2020, this grant opportunity is a practical way to offer the BSN courses onsite at the Avita Health System facilities,” Durflinger said. “Avita nurses will not have to travel to the college campus but instead can attend classes at the hospital campus, which is convenient and appealing to them. Registered nurses make up the largest percentage of employees at Avita and we are grateful to be able to provide this educational opportunity with Ashland University to our staff.”</div>

“The Marion Technical College Nursing Program provides quality education to prepare students for vital positions in the nursing profession. We support the continued professional growth of our Associate Degree students and graduates by forming a partnership with Ashland University,” Hartman said. “This partnership supports the growth of the nursing profession by creating a pathway to the baccalaureate degree. The ultimate goal of this partnership is to provide the highest quality nursing care to patients, families and communities.”</div>

Dr. Lada Gibson-Shreve, provost and chief academic officer at Stark State, said that “Stark State’s mission is focused on affordable and transferable education as well as academic partnerships. The grant with Ashland University supports Stark State’s mission.” Dr. Kathy Sommers, dean of Health and Public Services at Stark, added that “the partnership with Ashland University provides students the opportunity to pursue baccalaureate professional nursing education, which is important to the students and our community. We both look forward to continuing the partnership, to advancing student success and to supporting health care in our communities.”</div>

Dr. Kelly Gray, dean of Health Sciences for North Central State College, said she is pleased that graduates have another option for continuing to grow in the nursing profession. “While most NC State RN and LPN graduates enter the workforce, many pursue their bachelor’s degrees, and a few graduates pursue both. This partnership is another opportunity for practicing professionals to explore opportunities to move into nursing leadership and management. It helps NC State meet its mission and commitment to the region, and continue to provide a stream of qualified nurses to serve the growing needs of the health care industry here in north central Ohio,” Gray said.</div>

AU plans to seek approval of a Master of Science in Nursing by the Ohio Department of Higher Education, the North Central Association of the Higher Learning Commission, and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The College anticipates that this degree program will be available in 2018.</div>

LT Christopher Snyder has been described as an officer “who goes above and beyond, each and every day.” His path towards the Public Health Service began at Med Central College of Nursing in Ohio (now known as Ashland University- Dwight Schar College of Nursing) where he obtained his nursing degree. After graduation, he discovered that the depressed economy in Ohio had resulted in a very limited job market. This led him to take a job with the Pediatric Unit at Fort Defiance Indian Hospital in Arizona and eventually with Sage Memorial Hospital, also in Arizona. It was here that he worked in the emergency department and fell in love with trauma nursing. In 2011, his trauma experience took him to Whiteriver Service Hospital where he was commissioned as an officer with the USPHS and went to work at the Cibecue Outpatient Clinic. This rural outpatient clinic is located over 50 miles from an emergency room and served the area as a stabilizing unit during emergency situations. While working at this small outpatient clinic, he had to fill many roles, including case management, immunizations, policy development and updates, direct patient care, and training with the Decontamination Team. This team was assembled to respond to any disaster situation in which decontamination was required and involved set-up and take down of the hospital’s decontamination unit.<br />
<br />
His experience with infectious diseases, decontamination, and disaster management made him uniquely qualified to respond to the Ebola crisis in Africa. In October 2014, LT Snyder deployed with the Monrovian Medical Unit (MMU), Team 1 to Liberia. He states that this experience was one of the top highlights of his career so far. When he was not in the “hot zone” providing patient care, he worked on many other tasks such as constructing a patient memory wall, setting up the MMU supply inventory, or even mopping the floor. He states that all of the officers on MMU-1 did whatever was needed to be done so that the unit would be successful. The camaraderie with his team is what made this mission so memorable, “It’s like family.” While In Africa, LT Snyder also cross-trained with providers from Médecins Sans Frontières (also known as Doctors Without Borders), the World Health Organization, and International Medical Corps at the world’s largest Ebola Treatment Unit. Due to the tremendous contributions during the Ebola epidemic, MMU-1 was awarded the AMSUS Operations Medicine Award and the AMSUS Humanitarian Assistance Award.<br />
<br />
Two other experiences that have shaped his career were working with the Black Commissioned Officers Advisory Group (BCOAG) and volunteering as the Aide de Camp for Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. With the BCOAG he volunteered to go into the inner city schools of Cleveland and discuss his career and profession. He found the opportunity to connect with troubled inner city youth to be extremely rewarding. His term working as the Surgeon General’s Aide de Camp during the “Turn the Tide” Campaign was another great experience and he encourages other officers to “look for opportunities to represent the USPHS. Try new experiences and get out of your box. Many times there are volunteer opportunities and no one signs up for them. Get out and get involved. Volunteer for deployment opportunities; look into the Junior Officers Advisory Group or COA events. Deploying is a great<br />
way to meet other Officers.”<br />
<br />
Presently, LT Snyder works for the FDA in Ohio as a Consumer Safety Officer. He first made this career change when he moved to Des Moines, Iowa in 2013. As a Consumer Safety Officer he investigates consumer complaints and inspects food and feed facilities to confirm that safe products are being manufactured. Working for the FDA gives him the opportunity to use his nursing background to identify pathogen routes, utilize aseptic sampling, and investigate bacterial transmission. It has also provided him with the ability to live near family and the opportunity to progress in his career. He is grateful for the many experiences that working for the PHS has provided him and his family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293001658499496822.post-17288656193523266322017-07-20T12:20:00.000-04:002017-07-20T12:20:59.918-04:00Alumni Association to Hold Annual Banquet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Emily Donahue, senior honors nursing student, successfully defended her honors capstone project Understanding Suicide in the Navajo Population on April 19. Emily’s project was the culmination of two site visits to the Navajo reservation as a student in the Navajo Reservation Cultural Immersion class. Her study of Navajo culture prior to this immersion experience, plus her first experience sparked her interest that led to her topic of inquiry. Emily performed a qualitative research study gathering data by semi-structured interviews. The objective of her qualitative study was to glean insight about suicide in the Navajo and inform care of the Navajo population. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for American Indians/Alaskan Natives.<br />
<br />
Emily presented her work as a poster presentation at 2 scholarly events. She presented at a regional meeting of Sigma Theta Tau International (the honor society of nursing). She also presented her work at the national level during the 42nd Annual Conference of the Transcultural Nursing Society. Professor Sharon See served as faculty mentor and Dr. Jackie Owens contributed as a second reader.<br />
