HNU’s Nursing Department Continues to Set the Standard for Excellence with Recent Expansions and Awards
June 30, 2008
Our RN-to-BSN program for working nurses, delivered via videoconference mode to 15 hospital sites throughout California, will expand to Stanford University Hospital in Palo Alto in September. Fay L. Bower, DNSc, FAAN, chairperson of the HNU Nursing Department, says, “Adding Stanford is significant as it is a large medical center that serves many patients and their families. It is extremely important for these nurses to have the opportunity to further their education. I am pleased and honored that Stanford selected HNU as a partner for this important task.”
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation awarded a $1.5 million grant to our Nursing Department establish a Master of Science in Nursing degree with a concentration in education to educate clinical nurses who want to become clinical educators. By December 2008, 66 nurses will have graduated from this program that is designed to provide more clinical sites for nursing students and thus significantly help alleviate the nursing shortage.
We proudly announce Dr. Bower’s appointment as chair of the Leadership and Mentoring Task Force for 2007-2009 for Sigma Theta Tau International. Twelve nurses worldwide are selected to serve on this task force. Congratulations also to two of our nursing faculty, Edith Jenkins-Weinrub, EdD, who was selected to participate in the Thomas Edison State College School of Nursing Minority Educator Grant program and Maria Mangini, PhD, FNP, who published an article in the Journal of the California Cannabis Medical Group with Dr. Frank Lucido entitled “Implementation of the Compassionate Use Act in a Family Medical Practice.”
