CAROLINA NURSING Better Births Carolina students partner with doulas to gain experience and to improve deliveries Fall/Winter 2016 FROM THE DEAN Dear Friends, It is truly bittersweet to come to the end of my tenure as interim dean of this great school. It was an honor and privilege to take the helm here and lead it for the last two and a half years. We have seen many successes together, undertaken important organizational improvements, graduated new classes of our nation’s finest and most well-educated nurses, and dreamed big on behalf of the future of Carolina Nursing. As I look back over my time in the dean’s office, I am struck by the incredible generosity of spirit I’ve met with from our alumni, friends and supporters, as well as fellow deans, faculty, students and staff. I am grateful to everyone for their kindness, support, wisdom, encouragement and enthusiasm as we introduced the School’s critical and exciting “next chapter” and have accomplished so much good work. We created magic! As we turn the page on 2016, Dean Peragallo-Montano will be assuming the leadership of a dedicated, smart and carefully stewarded School. My thanks to each of you for your ongoing loyalty to this wonderful institution and for the support you have provided me. For the time being, I will return to my role as professor and nurse scientist. I will enjoy a sabbatical which will include returning to my research to promote quality nursing practice and patient care environments, improve care in NC emergency departments, hold the Frances Bloomberg International Visiting Professorship in the School of Nursing at the University of Toronto — focused on “shaping systems to promote desired outcomes,” serve as the “voice of Carolina” for an alumni tour to Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands, consult in Australia and…relax and take some deep breaths. On behalf of all of us here, I invite you to please keep in touch with the School and stay up-to-date on its many activities on campus and around the globe. And do plan to visit us if you’re in Chapel Hill! With gratitude, Donna S.

She will begin Jan. 1, 2017. Peragallo Montano is currently dean and professor for the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies, professor on the graduate faculty at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile School of Nursing and adjunct professor at Australian Catholic University in North Sydney. “We are pleased to welcome Nena Peragallo Montano as the dean of the School of Nursing,” said Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost James W. Dean, Jr. “She is an internationally recognized expert and widely published researcher who has dedicated her career to improving individual and public health, with a particular focus on minorities and other underserved minority populations. I am confident that the combination of her academic and clinical experience will help the School of Nursing continue to grow as a leader for nursing education, research and practice.” Since 2003, Peragallo Montano has been at the University, where she has a strong record of successful competitive research funding. From 2007 to 2015, she served as director and principal investigator of the Center of Excellence for Health Disparities Research: El Centro, the first National Institutes of Health P60 center grant awarded to a school of nursing. She is also co-principal investigator of El Centro, which has been funded continuously by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities since its inception. “Serving as dean of Carolina’s School of Nursing is a wonderful opportunity to continue the school’s tradition of excellence since it became the state’s first school of nursing to offer a four-year baccalaureate degree in 1950,” said Peragallo Montano. “I am committed to working with students, faculty, staff, alumni and leaders in the School of Nursing and across the University to improve the health and well-being of the people of North Carolina, the nation and the world.” UNC Chapel Hill’s Board of Trustees approved Peragallo Montano’s appointment. She will succeed Donna S. Havens, who has served as interim dean since 2014. During Havens’ tenure, the school’s graduate programs have grown significantly. This expansion includes the graduation of the first class of Doctor of Nursing Practice students, along with additional cohorts of Hillman Scholars who are working to obtain both a bachelor’s degree and a doctorate in nursing. The School of Nursing placed 21st in the 2016 U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate School Master’s Program rankings. Peragallo Montano is past president of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses and founding co-editor of Hispanic Healthcare International. Prior to joining the University of Miami, she held positions at the University of Maryland at Baltimore School of Nursing, the University of Illinois College of Nursing in Chicago and the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Peragallo Montano earned a doctorate in public health from the University of Texas, a master of science in nursing from the University of West Virginia and a bachelor of science in nursing from the University of Chile. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, a member of the nursing honor society Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) and an inductee of the STTI Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame. DR. PERAGALLO MONTANO NAMED DEAN OF UNCSON “I am committed to working with students, faculty, staff, alumni and leaders in the School of Nursing and across the University to improve the health and well-being of the people of North Carolina, the nation and the world.” —Dr. Nena Peragallo Montano By unanimous vote, the Council agreed to create the fund and award three $100 grants each semester to undergraduate students. “A hundred dollars may not be a lot to some, but to the people we help it means the world. Nursing is a profession that helps those in need, and by starting this, I felt that I could start something that could help many,” Hilton said. While the SON has a number of dedicated funds available to help students in significant short- and longer-term financial difficulty, the Foster grant fills a special type of need, said Kathy Moore, MSN ’90, RN ’78, clinical assistant professor, assistant dean of student affairs and the UGSGC faculty advisor. “We certainly have students who are independently funded by family and don’t have needs at all, but we have a notable number of students who are trying to manage on financial aid alone, or on financial aid and a little bit of savings or financial aid and part-time jobs,” she said. “There are those who simply need that hundred dollars to make ends meet that month.” Grant applicants, whose names are kept confidential, list a variety of purposes for the funds, said Moore, who reviews applications twice each year with the current UGSGC chair. They include stethoscopes and scrubs, books, transportation and parking for clinicals, NCLEX prep and sometimes groceries. UGSGC Chair Hannah Bivens, BSN ’16, noted that students sometimes request a grant to offset study abroad expenses, with even the relatively small amount helping to make an international experience more attainable: “Getting access to go abroad and see how different cultures handle health care is just a really enriching learning experience, and I think this fund allows students to do that.” Help from a friend Over the last two years, UGSGC members have held numerous fundraisers to increase the amount of available grants. When Lexi Pagnatta, BSN ’15, UGSGC chair ’15, served on the Council, bake sales and pizza lunches helped provide 12 recipients with $100 checks — double the amount set aside in the Council’s budget during her senior year. Along the way, the Council has had help from a friend. When she learned about their fundraising efforts, Dr. Foster — who has no oversight over the grant — offered to match the money UGSGC students raised for it. “I really admired the students’ work in doing this,” she said. “Bake sales have very limited results in terms of cash, so I just decided to do it. I thought it might encourage people to go down and pay $10 for a cookie instead of 50 cents.” Foster’s strategy worked, said Heather Freddosso (BSN ’16), the 2016 UGSGC’s fundraising chair. She’s found that SON faculty are very generous during the pizza fundraisers, where a slice and a soda typically sell for $3–5: “They’ll give us a $20 and say, ’Oh, it’s for the fundraiser — keep the change!” The Commitment to Caring For Dr. Foster, the UGSGC’s work to create and sustain the grant named in her honor illustrates the commitment to caring that is fundamental to nursing. “This grant, and the many others student groups do, indicates the kind of professionals they’re becoming,” she said. “Many of them of course came in already very much attuned to service and the needs of others, so I think doing what we can as a school to foster, acknowledge and encourage that is very important.” Moore agrees: “It really underscores why they have selected the nursing profession, why they have undertaken this career. And it’s because they care about others and are committed to supporting them, whether it’s a patient and family in their care or the student sitting next to them in class. It’s just a very amazing, wonderful program. It honors somebody that we all respect and admire, and it came from the hearts of the students.” Carolina Nursing 5 In her 21 years directing the undergraduate nursing program, Dr. Beverly Foster, PhD, RN, has attended more than her fair share of commencement exercises. While each one has been special in some way, May 2013’s pomp and circumstance included a surprise that reduced the typically unflappable Foster to tears. As she sat on stage in the Dean E. Smith Center preparing to welcome the graduates, Dr. Foster was stunned to hear Sheena Hilton, BSN ’13, chair of the SON Undergraduate Student Council (UGSGC), announce the Dr. Beverly Foster Grant for Student Support, a student-created fund to help peers in financial difficulty. “It was a total shock to me that something was being established with my name on it,” said Dr. Foster, who recalled struggling to compose herself before addressing the crowd of hundreds. “I mean, I wasn’t retiring, I hadn’t died, so it was quite a lovely gift.” For Hilton and her UGSGC colleagues, naming the fund for Dr. Foster made perfect sense. “We wanted to recognize Bev for her years of leadership in the nursing school,” Hilton said. “She always helped students and went above and beyond, and we felt this grant did the same thing.” Students helping students Hilton came up with the idea for the fund when she and Joe Biddix, BSN ’12, UGSGC chair ’12, needed to spend a surplus in the Council’s account. She felt providing grants to help the students served by the Council was the best use of the money. “School is hard in general, but it’s especially hard for people when finances are difficult, whether it’s school-related or just life-related,” said Ethan Cicero, BSN ’14, UGSGC chair ’14. “So we wanted to make it easier for them. We wanted them to see ‘We’re working for you.’” F EATUR E S 4 Fall/Winter 2016 Students establish fund to help peers, honor respected faculty member CARING FOR THEIR OWN “A hundred dollars may not be a lot to some, but to the people we help it means the world. Nursing is a profession that helps those in need, and by starting this, I felt that I could start something that could help many.” —Sheena Hilton, BSN ’13 Dr. Beverly Foster by Lisa Mincey Ware Joya Bland’s dream is to deliver babies. A recent Carolina graduate, she’s getting a master’s degree in physiology at N.C. State and preparing to apply to medical school. After that, she’ll seek a residency in obstetrics and gynecology. And though there are years between Bland and those babies, she’s no stranger to what a birthing mother needs. As a volunteer doula at UNC Hospitals, Bland has supported women through 12 hours of nonstop labor, held their hands through contractions and explained increasingly intense stages of labor with words of comfort and encouragement. Learning how to dial into the patient side of childbirth before becoming a physician was Bland’s mission when, as a women’s and gender studies major at UNC in 2014, she signed up for an innovative APPLES service-learning class at the UNC School of Nursing that matches volunteer doulas at UNC Hospitals with Carolina students to offer a unique experience in patient-centered care. Having the opportunity to attend births as part of her undergraduate curriculum is something Bland describes as “life-enhancing.” For the first birth Bland attended as a student, she stepped in for the last 12 hours of a labor already 36 hours long. By the time Bland entered the room, the mother was exhausted and worried. The family needed support, too. "While the doctor and nurse treated her, I was there to remind her that she was doing fine, to help her change position in bed, breathe with her, help her get comfortable and encourage her to rest so she would have strength to push,” said Bland. “I didn’t leave her side. I kept reminding her that soon she’d be holding her baby, and I helped her keep going.” A unique model of education and care Birth doulas aren’t clinicians — they are professionally trained birth companions who can offer physical and emotional support to the woman laboring and her family. Their presence can help women cope with pain, provide non-medical assistance to the mother and her family, and take some of the burden off nurses who are providing treatment and might not have time to stop and soothe. Doulas provide educational and emotional support during labor and birth, helping mothers navigate their way through the unique experience of childbirth. They offer suggestions to help labor progress — walking, the use of a birthing ball, relaxing in the tub. If the patient has had an epidural, a doula can help her change position to help the baby move down the birth canal. And, at N.C. Women’s Hospital, laboring women can benefit from the support and care of a doula free of charge, courtesy of the Birth Partners volunteer doula program. More and more women are choosing to request their support. “Not a lot of hospitals have this. It’s pretty unique to have doulas in a public hospital environment,” said Rhonda Lanning, a certified nurse midwife and faculty member at the School of Nursing who runs Birth Partners, the growing volunteer doula program, and teaches “Supporting the Childbearing Family,” the APPLES service-learning course that brings together the doulas and students for an immersive, hands-on educational experience. “This fall we tripled the number of families served in the Birth Partners program, and this is largely due to our service-learning course.” The class, made possible with a grant from the Carolina Center for Public Service, is offered once a year, and Lanning accepts between 12 and 16 students from a pool of nearly 60 applications. She builds the class with a Carolina Nursing 7 F EATUR E S Fall/Winter 2016 An APPLES service-learning class at Carolina partners with volunteer doulas at N.C. Women’s Hospital to enhance students’ educational experiences and better serve women delivering babies. BETTER BIRTHS by Courtney Jones Mitchell, UNC Women’s Care UNC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology “I was there to remind her that she was doing fine, to help her change position in bed, breathe with her, help her get comfortable.” —Joya Bland 6 “I didn’t leave her side. I kept reminding her that soon she’d be holding her baby, and I helped her keep going.” —Joya Bland Carolina Nursing 9 F EATUR E S 8 Fall/Winter 2016 diversity of academic disciplines, backgrounds, interests and experiences, and spends the first few weeks of class on childbirth and breastfeeding education as well as formal doula training. When they’re ready, students are paired with one of the volunteer doulas and work under that mentor to begin attending births. As part of the APPLES requirements, the students must put in 30 hours of service as a volunteer. Brooklynne Travis, who graduated with her BSN from the School of Nursing in May 2016 and is pursuing training in a dual Doctor of Nursing Practice and Certified Nurse Midwife program, said Lanning’s class this past fall helped her focus her career goals by allowing her to explore how she felt about childbirth. “This class was a great way for me to engage more specifically in women’s health in addition to the other maternity classes I took in nursing school,” said Travis. “It was a very good hands-on experience and helped me formulate concretely what I felt about birth and learn about birth from an evidence-based perspective.” Travis has three children of her own and said that she’d not had positive birth experiences. By being a doula, she got a chance to see women’s bodies at work, something she said was healing for her and helped solidify her passion to become a midwife. “Midwifery supports women’s bodies to do what they are designed to do, and being empowered to let your body do what it is designed to do is what I believe about birth,” she said. “I was able to see that we can support and help advance that birth process as a doula in the hospital where, if there is a problem, modern medicine can very quickly come to the rescue.” During one birth she attended as part of the class, Travis noticed fear in the husband’s eyes after his wife’s water had broken. She was able to calm him, telling him that the water breaking was a good sign — his wife’s body was progressing the way it should, and though it was intense, he didn’t need to be scared. “This is an opportunity for future health care providers to think about the patient care environment and work with patients and families to provide comfort and support and education, which often takes a back seat to diagnosing, treating and medicating. Here, they really get the value of patient-centered care, and we hope they take that back to their medical or nursing school experiences,” said Lanning. “Through this class, I’ve been able to see birth as something that is very hard, but can be very beautiful. I’d never experienced a peaceful birth until I was a doula,” said Travis. “Being a doula has given me back a lot of perspective, and now I know midwifery is what I’m called to do.” Benefits based in evidence People have undervalued the measures doulas provide, said Lanning, even though research shows that the use of a doula has clear benefits for families during childbirth and after, with no known risks. A 2013 review published in the Cochrane Library revealed that women who have support from a companion who is neither a member of the hospital staff nor a friend or family member are less likely to have a cesarean section, use synthetic oxytocin to speed labor, use pain medication or report a negative childbirth experience than women who labor alone. Birth Partners makes it part of their mission to reach out to vulnerable populations: women who are laboring alone, women with a long hospital stay prior to birth, women experiencing a loss or the incarcerated. “Incarcerated women are giving birth alone, and they deserve that care,” said Lanning. Lanning has a letter from the Department of Corrections that affirms Birth Partners’ goal to offer support to incarcerated women. Lanning said there are always pros and cons with bringing students into a volunteer program, because they come and they go. But “they come with such enthusiasm, passion, energy and optimism,” she said. “This is an opportunity for future health care providers to think about the patient care environment,” Lanning added, “and work with patients and families to provide comfort and support and education, which often takes a back seat to diagnosing, treating and medicating. Here, they really get the value of patient-centered care, and we hope they take that back to their medical or nursing school experiences.” School of Nursing students Rachel Tarwater and Brooklynne Travis listen during Lanning’s class.

Carolina Nursing 11 The men and women who come to Dorcas Ministries are in need. In need of a meal, in need of counseling, in need of secure housing. In need of care. And that puts them squarely within the mission of the UNC School of Nursing. “We’re really invested in the well-being of the whole community,” said Professor Marianne Cockroft, standing just outside the storefront entrance of Dorcas on a cold and blustery February morning. “Every visit we have here is meaningful.” Inspired by a conversation at her church, Cockroft spearheaded the creation of a School of Nursing mobile health care clinic, which sets up shop each week outside Dorcas Ministries in Cary and Western Wake Crisis Ministry in Apex. Operating from a specially equipped van rented from the UNC School of Medicine, the clinic offers free checkups, health counseling and referrals. The effort is funded by a grant from Cockroft’s congregation at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Cary. “It really fills a gap in the community,” said Howard Manning, executive director of Dorcas Ministries. “It not only improves the quality of life for people, but it’s a much more economical approach to health problems.” More than 73 percent of the clients at Dorcas and Western Wake Crisis Ministries suffer from at least one chronic illness. Treatment for those conditions can fall by the wayside when more immediate life troubles intrude, and that can lead to long-term health complications and much steeper costs. By offering a free consultation and medical counseling at the crisis ministries, Cockroft and her colleagues hope to prevent more severe problems down the road. “Stress can make chronic health problems more troublesome,” Cockroft said. “And most of the people we’re seeing here are facing pretty significant stress in their lives. We can educate people on ways to manage their health care, and connect them with other resources in the area.” Behind her, a mother and daughter climbed aboard the van for a checkup. The mobile clinic is staffed by faculty volunteers from the School of Nursing, along with nursing students on clinical rotation. The mobile site is offering an especially rich education for nursing students interested in public health. Diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic conditions are some of the most common concerns, but nurses have to be prepared for anything. “It gives me some very direct insight into community health needs,” said Katie Steinheber, a nurse at Duke University Hospital who is pursuing her master’s degree at UNC. “Some people have very specific health questions, and some people just want to be able to talk to someone, to debrief about their health problems and their worries.” S CHOOL NEWS 10 Fall/Winter 2016 Finding ways to serve patients outside the medical mainstream is crucial in reducing the overall burden of health care. A 2014 study in the American Journal of Managed Care found that mobile clinics “have a critical role to play in providing high-quality, low-cost care to vulnerable populations.” At UNC, Cockroft won immediate support for taking nursing expertise on the road. “The faculty have been great, just really enthusiastic,” she said. “There’s so much potential for what we could do with this.” Realizing that potential will mean measuring outcomes for the mobile clinic, a major challenge when working with low-income and often transient populations. School of Nursing faculty are already considering ways to measure the value of preventative care, mainly in terms of costs avoided through timely intervention. “We have to show results if we want to grow,” Cockroft said. “We need to find out: if we weren’t here, where would these folks have gone? Would they have gone to the emergency room, or nowhere at all?” In the Dorcas parking lot, the nurses working directly with grateful patients are already convinced. “Did you see how relieved she was?” asked Assistant Professor Wanda Wazenegger, speaking about a patient who spent more than 20 minutes in the mobile clinic. “She was so glad to have someone to talk to, someone to care.” Then Wazenegger went back to organizing the van, readying for the next patient. DELIVERING CARE WHERE IT’S NEEDED MOST Story and photos by Eric Johnson Cockroft, upper left, joins SON faculty and student volunteers each week in the mobile clinic. “It really fills a gap in the community. It not only improves the quality of life for people, but it’s a much more economical approach to health problems.” —Howard Manning Carolina Nursing 13 S CHOOL NEWS 12 Fall/Winter 2016 The UNC School of Nursing is pleased to announce the renewal of the T32 training grant that funds its “Interventions for preventing and Managing Chronic Illness” training program for five more years. Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, the Ruth l. Kirschstein Institutional National Research Award — or T32 — is an institutional training grant designed to prepare qualified individuals for scientific careers that have significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation. Now in its fifth round of funding, the School of Nursing’s T32 program has been producing renowned nurse scientists for nearly a quarter century. First established under the direction of Dr. Merle Mishel in the 1990s, the program is designed to equip pre- and postdoctoral trainees with the knowledge, skills and experience needed to develop a program of research that will lead to improved outcomes for people at risk of, or living with, chronic illness. with this latest renewal announced in June 2016, the program will focus on abbreviating the time taken for research to enter into practice by emphasizing the development of interventions that are designed with practice in mind, as well as focused study on dissemination and implementation science. Dr. Sheila Santacroce and Dr. Jennifer leeman will direct the five-year, $2.41 million T32 program, which funds stipends, health insurance, and some professional travel and other research-related expenses for doctoral and postdoctoral trainees. T32 trainees enjoy mentorship from School of Nursing faculty, as well as those at top-ranked UNC academic departments, health affairs schools and centers, including the UNC Center for Health promotion and Disease prevention, NC TraCS, UNC Center for Bioethics and the UNC lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. “Through the guidance provided by the T32 program, I have begun thinking of myself as a nurse scientist. It has empowered me as I move forward in the doctoral program,” said Becky Salomon, current predoctoral trainee. “The renewal of this T32 training grant well positions the UNC School of Nursing to continue its important work of producing some of the nation’s best nurse scientists and effective and high-impact nursing science on chronic illness,” said Interim Dean Donna Havens. “we’re thrilled to be able to serve the health needs of North Carolina and the broader world in this way.” UNC is one of just 17 schools of nursing in the United States to receive T32 funding from NINR, and is tied for second with UCSF for duration of T32 funding. T32 Renewed for Interventions for Preventing and Managing Chronic Illness SON, FIRST QUALITY HOLD INAUGURAL CARE SUMMIT From the halls of research to the bedside, Carolina Nursing faculty embrace the nitty-gritty of real-world care and are fearless in their pursuit of new knowledge that will lead to best care practices. In June they joined a longstanding partner in this pursuit, First Quality®, to inaugurate a Care Summit to address current challenges to patient care and how best to solve them. First Quality, a solutions-based corporate leader in products for long-term, assisted living and acute care, sponsored the summit, which took place in Chapel Hill June 7–8, 2016. UNCSON research faculty joined First Quality for a dynamic dialogue centered on a common goal: Meeting Vulnerable Populations Where They Live: A Summit to Address Care Challenges and Solutions. Assistant Dean for Advancement Anne Webb collaborated with First Quality Technical Service Director and former SON Foundation Board member Jim Minetola to secure funding for the summit. The summit grew from the vision of Dr. Mary Palmer, Helen W. & Thomas L. Umphlet Distinguished Professor in Aging, who led the event along with Michele Mongillo, clinical director at First Quality. “The School of Nursing is a vibrant community of nurse scientists and educators engaged in real-world solutions,” said Palmer. “First Quality is incredibly innovative and forward-thinking on behalf of a rapidly increasing patient population. Bringing our strengths together to brainstorm solutions for the good of vulnerable patients was a goal of this summit, and it was fantastic working with them.” With corporate funding from First Quality, more than 60 students, faculty, First Quality employees and School of Nursing Foundation Board members explored the latest advancements in caring for the elderly, those with chronic physical or mental illness, inmate populations and the homeless. Faculty from the Schools of Nursing, Medicine and Social Work, along with the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, presented a holistic look at the influences of govern-ment policy, low-resource communities, medication delivery, communication and preventive and palliative care. “After the presentations, we broke into small groups of lightning talks — fast bursts of information to encourage discussion,” Palmer said. “It was very intentional to think creatively. It was a high-energy meeting.” Organizers hope the partnership with First Quality will continue. “They’re interested in seeking real-world solutions, and that’s why they mesh so well with our faculty. The summit created a lot of energy and creative thinking for solution-finding, and we want to carry that forward,” said Palmer. An earlier partnership with First Quality created a graduate student merit scholarship that, through leadership opportunities, exposed students to the latest developments in evidence-based care while networking with First Quality health care professionals to learn more about their industry. Santacroce (L) and Leeman (R) Dr. Mary Palmer speaks at the Inaugural Care Summit 14 Fall/Winter 2016 Carolina Nursing 15 S CHOOL NEWS On April 12, gray skies and chilly spring temperatures gave way to warm sunshine just in time for the UNCSON to celebrate the life and work of Elizabeth Tornquist — “ET” to all who knew her here. ET passed away unexpectedly in late January. A crowd of current and former faculty and staff, alumni, Tornquist family and friends gathered in Fox Auditorium to pay tribute to the person and career that affected so many so positively. An editor of uncanny insight and skill, Tornquist mentored SON faculty, indeed nursing faculty the world over, to unprecedented success in grant funding and publication. “Nursing was her special cause — and thank God for that — we needed her!” said Mary Champagne, dean emerita of the Duke School of Nursing and former SON faculty member. “I doubt there is anyone more responsible for helping researchers with good ideas for improving health care get grant funding than our Elizabeth.” Further remarks and readings were offered by Deans Emerita Cindy Freund and Linda Cronenwett, by Professors Mary Lynn and Linda Beeber, by Interim Dean Donna Havens and by Chrish Peel, Elizabeth’s nephew. The tribute was followed by a reception featuring some of ET’s favorite recipes, catered by her daughter Amy, a celebrated chef and restaurateur in Durham. A fund has been set up to honor ET’s extraordinary legacy — the Elizabeth Muse Tornquist Endowment for Scientific Writing — designed to fund programs and other activities to support the writing efforts of faculty, students, health care clinicians and scientists from many disciplines both at the SON and across the country. Programs may include institutes for scientific writing, terms for editors-in-residence, workshops and lectureships — all designed to continue in some fashion ET’s remarkable contributions. To donate to the fund, contact Assistant Dean for Advancement Anne Webb at 919.966.4619 or visit nursing.unc.edu. ELIZABETH TORNQUIST SON HOSTS TRIBUTE, ESTABLISHES FUND TO HONOR The UNC School of Nursing was pleased to host the annual meeting of the nation’s prestigious Hillman Scholars program in Nursing Innovation in late May. The Scholars program was established by the Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation in 2010 to identify and prepare — swiftly — the next generation of nurse scientists and scholars. offered only at the universities of North Carolina, Michigan and pennsylvania, the highly selective program is designed to furnish Hillman Scholars with BSN and phD degrees in fewer than six years. The theme of this year’s meeting was The Many Facets of leadership: Research, practice, policy and Innovation. A busy three days of sessions kicked off in Chapel Hill on Tuesday, May 24, with a compelling discussion on diversity, inclusiveness and policy, led by Dr. Rumay Alexander, director of the SoN’s office of Inclusive Excellence and special assistant to the Chancellor. The second annual Charles and Colleen Astrike Symposium on Health Care Solutions was held Tuesday evening, with panelists linda Aiken, phD, RN, FAAN; Cathy Madigan, DNp, RN; and Gwen Sherwood, phD, RN, FAAN, offering views on nursing leadership in quality and safety from the front lines of research, practice and education. A thoughtful question-and-answer session followed the moving testimony of the Astrike family’s experience with their mother’s nursing care — a tragic case, with consequences all the more grievous for having been due to errors in health care, and avoidable for her and her loved ones. Dr. Bill Roper, dean of the UNC School of Medicine, vice chancellor for medical affairs and CEo of UNC Hospitals, was a highlight of wednesday’s sessions, serving as the special guest in an informal discussion on leadership at the Intersection of Research, Health Care and policy, led by Dr. Aiken and UNC Hillman Scholar leah Morgan. The meeting wrapped up midday Thursday following leadership development activities, social and networking opportunities and further sessions on leadership in the areas of research, policy and professional development. “It was an honor to host such a thought-provoking and inspiring three days,” said professor Cheryl Jones, phD, RN, FAAN, director of the Hillman Scholars program at UNC. “The annual meeting is only one of the highlights the Hillman Scholars program brings to the universities that benefit from this recognition. However, we were especially honored to host this year’s event, which allowed us to showcase the many initiatives under way here at UNC-CH. we’re so grateful to all the speakers who made it such a rich opportunity for us all.” SON Hosts Hillman Scholars Program Annual Meeting (L to R) Interim Dean Donna Havens joins former deans Linda Cronenwett, Cindy Freund and Mary Champagne Bill Roper, CEO of UNC Hospitals (center), answers questions on leadership.

(L) Linda Aiken, (R) Hillman Scholar Leah Morgan Starting courageous dialogues Rumay Alexander was recently named special assistant to Chancellor Carol L. Folt. In her new role, Alexander is focusing on integrating initiatives across campus to accelerate diversity, inclusion, and family and work-life balance. She maintains her role as professor and director of the office of inclusive excellence at the School of Nursing. Rumay Alexander loves questions. Her favorite one has always been “Why?” The simple word leads to explanations, which can become understanding. But at the very least, it begins a discussion. “It’s those kinds of questions that will allow us, as a community, to become more inclusive,” Alexander said. “It’s not that you have to know everything, but it’s about how we work on ourselves and have enough self-awareness to say, ‘You know, I need to ask some questions because more than likely, unintentionally, I’m not thinking of something.’” Asking the right questions has become one of Alexander’s greatest tools as she works to make the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill a better and more inclusive community through her new role. Appointed as Folt’s special assistant last November, Alexander is using her new role to integrate initiatives across campus to accelerate diversity, inclusion, and family and work-life balance. She is working closely with the University’s Office of Workforce, Equity and Engagement, the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, and the Office of Student Affairs, among others. “Rumay brings a deep understanding and an experienced perspective on how we can more effectively establish an inclusive community for every one of our students, faculty members and staff,” Folt said. “She already is bringing together organizations from across campus to assess current programs and develop new initiatives to fill important gaps and advance our University.” For Alexander, who is already the diversity lead for the Schools of Public Health and Dentistry, and the chair of the Faculty Committee on Community and Diversity, the new position is the most recent stop in her long journey of building inclusive environments. Navigating Tennessee Alexander grew up in the small western Tennessee town of Humboldt, where white and black residents were divided by a single train track. There, she quickly learned how to read her environment — and to build a personal grit that would help beat circumstances designed to set her up for failure. As a sixth grader, Alexander begged her parents to let her and her younger sister join the 25 African-American students who would integrate the local all-white school. Although her parents were nervous — they well knew their daughter’s knack for confronting wrongs — they ultimately agreed. “I was walking into a very dangerous space,” she said. “I was navigating that space as somebody who was intentionally educated inferior to my white counterparts.” Not only were older students physically abusive — sometimes pushing the middle-schooler into lockers or down the stairs — Alexander said she was put in a situation created to make her fail in the classroom as well. For years, Alexander had been learning by using outdated textbooks — the ones passed down to her school after the all-white school received updated books. She immediately went from an honor roll student to D’s. It took her a year of staying up until 3 in the morning, then getting extra help from teachers, before she caught up with her classmates. But she did. “This is what you’ve got to do,” she remembers telling herself at the time. “You just have to do this if you are going Carolina Nursing 17 Deborah K. Mayer, PhD, RN, AOCN, FAAN, has been named to the panel of national experts guiding the “Cancer Moonshot” unveiled during President Barack Obama’s 2016 State of the Union address. During his annual speech to Congress in January 2016, President Obama called for $1 billion in new funding to fast-track promising research for the prevention, early detection, treatment and ultimate curing of cancer. Calling the initiative the “Cancer Moonshot,” he tapped Vice President Joe Biden to lead the effort to “eliminate cancer as we know it.” Dr. Mayer, professor of adult and geriatric health at the UNC Chapel Hill School of Nursing and director of cancer survivorship at UNC Lineberger Cancer Center, is among the nationally recognized experts who will recommend how the proposed funding should be spent. “This is a wonderful recognition and opportunity to bring nursing and patient perspectives to this prestigious panel,” said Dr. Mayer. “Our work will be significant in identifying opportunities to reduce the burden of cancer.” Dr. Mayer has decades of experience with national efforts to improve cancer care, having worked for more than 30 years as a specialist in cancer nursing practice, education, research and management experience. Dr. Mayer is past president of the Oncology Nursing Society, and a former member of the National Cancer Institute’s Board of Scientific Advisors and National Cancer Advisory Board (a presidential appointment). Dr. Mayer was also elected a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. She was the editor for the Oncology Nursing Society’s Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON), and has published nearly 100 articles and book chapters. She lectures internationally on oncology and oncology nursing, and also maintains a clinical practice working with breast cancer survivors at UNC Chapel Hill. “Dr. Mayer brings to the panel tremendous acumen and understanding of the crucial role nurses play in the care and treatment of cancer,” said Donna Havens, interim dean of the UNC School of Nursing. “They couldn’t have made a better choice, and we are so pleased that she will represent UNC as a home for world-class cancer research and care.” FACULTY NEWS 16 Fall/Winter 2016 DEBORAH MAYER TAPPED TO SERVE ON CANCER MOONSHOT BLUE RIBBON PANEL Mayer, an advanced practice oncology nurse and cancer survivor, joins the national panel to help guide more than $1 billion in federal funding for breakthrough cancer research. ALEXANDER NAMED SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO CHANCELLOR By Brandon Bieltz, Office of Communications and Public Affairs Mayer with Vice President Joe Biden In February 2016, Judith Webb, DNP, ANP-BC, ACHPN, joined the SON faculty as an assistant professor in the Division of Adult and Geriatric Health. She was previously an assistant professor at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, MA, where she served as the coordinator of the adult gerontology primary care nurse practitioner track and taught in the DNP program. She helped develop the course, “Introduction to the DNP,” and has continued to teach this distance course since leaving MGHIHP. Since joining the faculty, Webb has become an advisor to LGBTQ students in the School of Nursing and has agreed to serve on the Provost’s Committee on LGBTQ Life at UNC. Dr. Webb is from central New York, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing and a Master of Science degree in nursing from State University of New York Institute of Technology in Utica, NY. She earned the Doctor of Nursing Practice from the MGH Institute of Health Professions, summa cum laude, in 2010. Her doctoral project focused on the long-term impact of surrogate decision-making after the death of a loved one. She is board certified as both an adult nurse practitioner and a palliative care nurse practitioner, with clinical practice experience primarily with older adults. She has extensive practice experience in end-of-life care and caring for people of all ages with life-threatening conditions. She previously taught in New York at Morrisville State College, Binghamton University and SUNY Institute of Technology in Utica. While at the MGH Institute of Health Professions, Dr. Webb served as the chair of the Appeals Committee and co-chair of the Judicial Board, and was the advisor to the LGBTQ student group. Dr. Webb served on the Legislative Committee of the Massachusetts Coalition of Nurse Practitioners, and was an officer in the Mohawk Valley Chapter of the New York state NP organization. Carolina Nursing 19 SON WELCOMES DR. JUDITH WEBB to achieve your hopes, dreams and aspirations.” After high school, Alexander attended the University of Tennessee- Knoxville, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She went on to receive a master’s in nursing from Vanderbilt University and then a doctorate in education from Tennessee State University. “I loved everything about what nurses did,” she said. “That was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m a nurse and proud of it. … I’ve taken care of patients and advocated for them, I’ve been at the bedside, I’ve been a nurse supervisor and I’ve been faculty.” A huge chunk of Alexander’s work also has been in the public policy arena. In 1981, she became the senior vice president of the Tennessee Hospital Association. As the only nurse, the youngest vice president and the only person of color in the association, Alexander was a triple minority at the white-male-dominated organization. There, she made her next big push into creating inclusion. “When you have been considered the least and not one with legitimate standing on the rungs of humanity, you can speak about the lived experience and impact of such a label,” she said. Representing those who provided hands-on care, Alexander’s job was to bring the nurses’ and other care providers’ concerns to the forefront of hospital issues. “My position was often one of ‘How do I help [the association and its members] understand they’re not being inclusive or that there are other perspectives to consider?’” she said. “They were very well-meaning, very smart and intelligent individuals, but what you don’t know, you don’t know. Part of my job was to put the wicked questions on the table, allow a safe way for people to respond and then facilitate the courageous dialogues around intended and unintended consequences.” Fostering human flourishing in Chapel Hill For 21 years, Alexander ignited those inclusive conversations with the Tennessee Hospital Association. Then in 2003, she brought her skill set to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As director of the office of inclusive excellence in the School of Nursing, Alexander has spent more than a decade working to improve retention of faculty, students and staff, and leading a diversity discussion series. “I believe that success is transferable,” she said. “If something works over here, what parts of that can work in this place? My worlds all blend. I will pull from all those places and all those experiences.” And now, what worked for her in Tennessee and in the School of Nursing is being put into practice campus-wide: making sure everybody is represented in decision-making and having what Alexander calls “courageous dialogues.” These dialogues, she said, begin with asking questions and learning to understand perspectives outside one’s own. “Most people, when you ask them about diversity, they give you the dimensions of diversity — how we differ,” Alexander said. “That becomes race, ethnicity, physical abilities, gender, sexuality and you can go on and on. But that’s how we manifest differences often referred to ’diversity of presence.’ I define diversity as holding multiple perspectives without judgment. It’s the judgment part that gets us in trouble.” By coming to a better understanding of what people know and what they don’t know, Alexander said, positive strides can be made. That’s why she hopes viewpoints from throughout the Carolina community can help mold diversity goals — and make an impact on the retention and recruiting of minority faculty and other coordinated initiatives across campus. It all begins by using her favorite question: “Why?” “My overarching goal is ’human flourishing,’” she said. “That’s for faculty, that’s for staff, that’s for students. When we better understand, we can help others flourish.” FACULTY NEWS 18 Fall/Winter 2016 APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS (as of Aug. 2016) Beth Black Chair, Health Care Systems Division Betty Nance-Floyd Director, Center for lifelong learning Jennifer Leeman Associate professor with tenure (July 1, 2016) Cheryl Giscombé Associate professor with tenure (Jan. 1, 2016) SeonAe Yeo professor (Jan. 1, 2016) RETIREMENTS (as of Aug. 2016) Wanda Wazenegger (late April 2016) FAREWELLS (as of Aug. 2016) Debra Barksdale (Jan. 3, 2016) Pamela Johnson Rowsey (June 20, 2016) MiKyung Song (June 30, 2016) Jabar Akbar Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Kristen Allison Clinical Instructor (Jan. 1, 2016) Kristen Cole Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Rachell Davis Clinical Instructor (Jan. 1, 2016) Louise Fleming Clinical Assistant professor (Aug. 1, 2016) Kate Griffith Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Margaret Guzowska Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Nancy Havill Clinical Assistant professor (July 1, 2016) Erica King Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Hilary Mendel Clinical Instructor (May 9, 2016) Britt Pados Clinical Instructor (Aug. 4, 2016) Elizabeth Trianni Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Tracy Vernon-Platt Clinical Instructor (Jan. 1, 2016) Judith Webb Clinical Assistant professor (Feb. 1, 2016) “My worlds all blend.

The SoN’s seven Jonas Scholars will join two current SoN Jonas Scholars, Kayoll Galbraith and lauren Hamilton, and a total cohort of more than 1,000 Jonas Scholars spread throughout all 50 states. As the nation’s leading philanthropic funder of graduate nursing education, the Jonas Center is addressing the critical need for qualified nursing faculty. U.S. nursing schools turned away nearly 70,000 qualified applicants from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs in 2014 due in large part to an insufficient number of faculty1. Further, nearly two-thirds of registered nurses over age 54 say they are considering retirement2. “In 2008, we set an ambitious goal to support 1,000 Jonas Nurse Scholars. This year, on our Center’s 10th anniversary, we celebrate this achievement and are amazed by the talent of this cohort of future nurse leaders,” said Donald Jonas, who co-founded the Center with Barbara Jonas, his wife. “In the decade to come, we look forward to continuing to work with our partner nursing schools and to the great impact that the Jonas Scholars will have on improving healthcare around the world.” —February 4, 2016 ENews Congratulations to Dana Kouchel, RN, BSN, a second-year BSN-to-DNp student who recently received the nursing Geriatrics Interprofessional Fellowship as part of the Carolina Geriatrics workforce Enhancement program (CGwEp). CGwEp, a three-year, $2.55 million HRSA grant-funded project housed in the UNC School of Medicine’s Center for Aging and Health, is designed to improve health outcomes for rural and underserved geriatric populations across North Carolina. As a fellow, Kouchel joins an interprofessional team consisting of a practicing North Carolina nurse, dentist and physician who meet all day every other Monday to be trained in the principals of geriatrics and interprofessional geriatrics care, to develop care protocols and to care for patients. The first topic the team is tackling is one of common concern for many geriatric patients — weight loss and proper nutrition. “I really enjoy learning and working with all members of the interprofessional team. It’s exciting to be developing a program that both improves care for this vulnerable population and facilitates the learning needs of the health care community,” said Kouchel, who is focusing her DNp studies to become an adult/geriatric nurse practitioner. “This program is really a two-way educational street—as the team learns and develops protocols together, we can then pass that education along to fellow caregivers for better patient outcomes.” The team works with piedmont Health SeniorCare in pittsboro, NC, a program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (pACE) that helps patients meet their health care needs in the community rather than going to a nursing home or other care facility. “we’re so privileged to be able to care for older people,” said Kouchel. “It’s important to me that my classmates and other health care providers see and appreciate the value and art of geriatrics care. It may not be glamorous, but we have a duty to help our older patients maintain their independence and dignity as long as possible.” Among its other goals, CGwEp aims to increase the geriatrics workforce pipeline. Mary H. palmer, phD, RN, FAAN, Umphlet Distinguished professor in Aging, is the interprofessional education nursing team leader for the project. “Dana is a perfect fit for this fellowship,” said palmer. “She brings considerable intelligence, creativity, and devotion to her role on the team and is a wonderful ambassador for the care of the elderly—a champion this population sorely needs.” — Feb. 12, 2016 ENews SON Hosts Visiting Faculty from Jönköping University The School of Nursing is very pleased and privileged to host Drs.

Funded through charitable contributions from Well Care Home Health, the Scholars Program seeks to attract highly qualified master of science in nursing students to the home health industry through focused coursework and clinical experiences in the home health field. Well Care Home Health Scholars will be enrolled in UNC's Health Care Systems Clinical Nurse Leaders graduate program, ranked #4 in the nation. The program will fund scholarships for Well Care Home Health Scholars annually, as well as provide oversight by Associate Professor Meg Zomorodi, PhD, RN, CNL, who will serve as the Well Care Faculty Scholar and liaison between the two organizations to create unique learning experiences for both home health providers and students. Well Care Scholars will participate in an intensive interprofessional curriculum designed to prepare them for team-based management and for focused study into quality and process improvement in the home health setting. Scholars will gain clinical experience with Well Care Home Health and will participate in activities and projects focused on home health care, leadership and interprofessional collaboration. “At a time when the home health industry is facing ever-increasing demands and exceptional growth, this kind of forward-thinking educational program is particularly needed and welcomed,” said Zomorodi. “Well Care Home Health Scholars will be uniquely positioned to utilize skills that are much needed in today’s changing health care system. This is a unique opportunity to partner with a top-tier home health organization to prepare a workforce focused on delivering quality care through care coordination and teamwork.” “We are tremendously excited about this partnership with Well Care Home Health, as it provides a new model for immersive education that is as practical as it is innovative,” said Donna Havens, PhD, RN, FAAN, interim dean of the School of Nursing. “Our students gain on-the-ground experience and training with a dedicated eye toward assessing system strengths and areas for improvement. The genius of public-private partnerships like this one is that not only do the two institutions benefit, but patients in North Carolina are better served by our joint expertise on their behalf. It’s a win-win-win.” “Well Care is proud and excited to partner with the UNC School of Nursing to found the Well Care Home Health Leadership Scholars Program,” said Wayne Long, CEO of Well Care Home Health. “This collaborative venture unites a premier academic nursing program with a leading home health provider in order to provide a truly unique and progressive developmental experience for select nursing students. This exclusive program seeks to identify high-performing and motivated students to deliver highly specialized scholastic experience along with real-world, practical experience that enables accelerated career development opportunities in the nursing profession. As home health and post-acute care increasingly become larger and more important components of the health ecosystem, Well Care is committed to driving positive change and excellent patient outcomes.” As part of the ongoing partnership, the UNC School of Nursing will provide special education sessions for Well Care Home Health staff each year. UNCSON AND WELL CARE HOME HEALTH JOIN TO CREATE UNIQUE EDUCATION-PRACTICE PARTNERSHIP The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing teams up with leading home health provider to establish the Well Care Home Health Leadership Scholars Program—a program funded through gifts to the UNC School of Nursing Foundation to prepare nurse leaders for the home health industry. people, pushing himself to do it even when his body was resisting…he did not let the setbacks he experienced steal his joy.” Dhillon loved to perform magic tricks, create complicated Lego structures, race remote-controlled vehicles and visit the beach on annual trips with his family — collecting shells, doing crafts, riding the waves and blowing bubbles off the deck. While living with his illness, he and his family traveled to 10 countries. Support from an informed community outside the hospital was important to Dhillon’s care. He enlisted his grandmother to help explain his “special heart” to friends, classmates and new teachers at his Montessori school. The two of them sat at the kitchen table and developed a PowerPoint, then collected a pulse oximeter and a model heart for props. “We talked about what he wanted me to say about his limitations and what kind of understanding he wanted from his classmates and teachers,” Foster said. “We told them there are visible disabilities you can see when someone walks with a white cane or sits in a wheelchair, but many invisible disabilities can also leave you with special needs. Dhillon said it would be helpful to him if his classmates walked more slowly when they changed classes so he could keep up with them…and to know why he couldn’t play soccer on a hot field or throw a football for long periods of time. He would be the scorekeeper.” The goal of the Dhillon Jordan Shah Innovation Fund for Congenital Heart Disease is to stimulate the career path development and lifelong interest of health professionals in congenital heart disease: prevention, patterns of occurrence, assessment, treatment, family and sibling resources and needs across the continuum of care, and the growth and development of the child into adulthood. The need is great. Each year, as many as 40,000 children are born with a heart defect — eight out of every 1,000 infants. More than 1.3 million Americans live with some form of a congenital heart defect, and chronic illness and disability push the numbers even higher: as many as 10–20 million. To help meet the need, “Dhillon’s Gift” gives preference to projects that represent interprofessional efforts. “On one day between morning and noon, I counted 17 different health professionals who contributed to Dhillon’s care,” Foster said. “There is a huge context involved in illness, recovery and death — a whole cadre of people — not just the person in the bed.” Those who would like to be part of Dhillon’s legacy are invited to contribute to the Dhillon Jordan Shah Innovation Fund for Congenital Heart Disease.

Carolina Nursing 33 FOUNDAT ION NEWS 32 Fall/Winter 2016 Before Nora warshawsky earned her phD from the UNCSoN in 2011, she was a multitasking full-time graduate student who taught for four years in the classroom and clinic, served as graduate student representative to the University, pursued her own research, traveled to professional conferences and cultivated an off-campus network of like-minded colleagues. It wasn’t easy, but warshawsky hopes to make it easier on the next generation of nurse scholars by creating the M. Vivian Baker Expendable Fund for Graduate Student Support. Named in honor of warshawsky’s aunt, this gift provides financial support for professional travel or research, quality improvement and practice projects for doctoral students matriculating in one of the health care system’s graduate nursing programs. “The Vivian Baker Fund hopes to seed research endeavors that can inspire someone’s lifework,” said Katisha paige, associate director of advancement and alumni affairs at the UNC School of Nursing. After she graduated from Carolina, Nora warshawsky, phD, RN, CNE, joined the University of Kentucky College of Nursing as an assistant professor. She teaches health systems courses in the Doctor of Nursing practice (DNp)

Full Text | CAROLINA NURSING Better Births Carolina students partner with doulas to gain experience and to improve deliveries Fall/Winter 2016 FROM THE DEAN Dear Friends, It is truly bittersweet to come to the end of my tenure as interim dean of this great school. It was an honor and privilege to take the helm here and lead it for the last two and a half years. We have seen many successes together, undertaken important organizational improvements, graduated new classes of our nation’s finest and most well-educated nurses, and dreamed big on behalf of the future of Carolina Nursing. As I look back over my time in the dean’s office, I am struck by the incredible generosity of spirit I’ve met with from our alumni, friends and supporters, as well as fellow deans, faculty, students and staff. I am grateful to everyone for their kindness, support, wisdom, encouragement and enthusiasm as we introduced the School’s critical and exciting “next chapter” and have accomplished so much good work. We created magic! As we turn the page on 2016, Dean Peragallo-Montano will be assuming the leadership of a dedicated, smart and carefully stewarded School. My thanks to each of you for your ongoing loyalty to this wonderful institution and for the support you have provided me. For the time being, I will return to my role as professor and nurse scientist. I will enjoy a sabbatical which will include returning to my research to promote quality nursing practice and patient care environments, improve care in NC emergency departments, hold the Frances Bloomberg International Visiting Professorship in the School of Nursing at the University of Toronto — focused on “shaping systems to promote desired outcomes,” serve as the “voice of Carolina” for an alumni tour to Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands, consult in Australia and…relax and take some deep breaths. On behalf of all of us here, I invite you to please keep in touch with the School and stay up-to-date on its many activities on campus and around the globe. And do plan to visit us if you’re in Chapel Hill! With gratitude, Donna S.

She will begin Jan. 1, 2017. Peragallo Montano is currently dean and professor for the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies, professor on the graduate faculty at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile School of Nursing and adjunct professor at Australian Catholic University in North Sydney. “We are pleased to welcome Nena Peragallo Montano as the dean of the School of Nursing,” said Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost James W. Dean, Jr. “She is an internationally recognized expert and widely published researcher who has dedicated her career to improving individual and public health, with a particular focus on minorities and other underserved minority populations. I am confident that the combination of her academic and clinical experience will help the School of Nursing continue to grow as a leader for nursing education, research and practice.” Since 2003, Peragallo Montano has been at the University, where she has a strong record of successful competitive research funding. From 2007 to 2015, she served as director and principal investigator of the Center of Excellence for Health Disparities Research: El Centro, the first National Institutes of Health P60 center grant awarded to a school of nursing. She is also co-principal investigator of El Centro, which has been funded continuously by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities since its inception. “Serving as dean of Carolina’s School of Nursing is a wonderful opportunity to continue the school’s tradition of excellence since it became the state’s first school of nursing to offer a four-year baccalaureate degree in 1950,” said Peragallo Montano. “I am committed to working with students, faculty, staff, alumni and leaders in the School of Nursing and across the University to improve the health and well-being of the people of North Carolina, the nation and the world.” UNC Chapel Hill’s Board of Trustees approved Peragallo Montano’s appointment. She will succeed Donna S. Havens, who has served as interim dean since 2014. During Havens’ tenure, the school’s graduate programs have grown significantly. This expansion includes the graduation of the first class of Doctor of Nursing Practice students, along with additional cohorts of Hillman Scholars who are working to obtain both a bachelor’s degree and a doctorate in nursing. The School of Nursing placed 21st in the 2016 U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate School Master’s Program rankings. Peragallo Montano is past president of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses and founding co-editor of Hispanic Healthcare International. Prior to joining the University of Miami, she held positions at the University of Maryland at Baltimore School of Nursing, the University of Illinois College of Nursing in Chicago and the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Peragallo Montano earned a doctorate in public health from the University of Texas, a master of science in nursing from the University of West Virginia and a bachelor of science in nursing from the University of Chile. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, a member of the nursing honor society Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) and an inductee of the STTI Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame. DR. PERAGALLO MONTANO NAMED DEAN OF UNCSON “I am committed to working with students, faculty, staff, alumni and leaders in the School of Nursing and across the University to improve the health and well-being of the people of North Carolina, the nation and the world.” —Dr. Nena Peragallo Montano By unanimous vote, the Council agreed to create the fund and award three $100 grants each semester to undergraduate students. “A hundred dollars may not be a lot to some, but to the people we help it means the world. Nursing is a profession that helps those in need, and by starting this, I felt that I could start something that could help many,” Hilton said. While the SON has a number of dedicated funds available to help students in significant short- and longer-term financial difficulty, the Foster grant fills a special type of need, said Kathy Moore, MSN ’90, RN ’78, clinical assistant professor, assistant dean of student affairs and the UGSGC faculty advisor. “We certainly have students who are independently funded by family and don’t have needs at all, but we have a notable number of students who are trying to manage on financial aid alone, or on financial aid and a little bit of savings or financial aid and part-time jobs,” she said. “There are those who simply need that hundred dollars to make ends meet that month.” Grant applicants, whose names are kept confidential, list a variety of purposes for the funds, said Moore, who reviews applications twice each year with the current UGSGC chair. They include stethoscopes and scrubs, books, transportation and parking for clinicals, NCLEX prep and sometimes groceries. UGSGC Chair Hannah Bivens, BSN ’16, noted that students sometimes request a grant to offset study abroad expenses, with even the relatively small amount helping to make an international experience more attainable: “Getting access to go abroad and see how different cultures handle health care is just a really enriching learning experience, and I think this fund allows students to do that.” Help from a friend Over the last two years, UGSGC members have held numerous fundraisers to increase the amount of available grants. When Lexi Pagnatta, BSN ’15, UGSGC chair ’15, served on the Council, bake sales and pizza lunches helped provide 12 recipients with $100 checks — double the amount set aside in the Council’s budget during her senior year. Along the way, the Council has had help from a friend. When she learned about their fundraising efforts, Dr. Foster — who has no oversight over the grant — offered to match the money UGSGC students raised for it. “I really admired the students’ work in doing this,” she said. “Bake sales have very limited results in terms of cash, so I just decided to do it. I thought it might encourage people to go down and pay $10 for a cookie instead of 50 cents.” Foster’s strategy worked, said Heather Freddosso (BSN ’16), the 2016 UGSGC’s fundraising chair. She’s found that SON faculty are very generous during the pizza fundraisers, where a slice and a soda typically sell for $3–5: “They’ll give us a $20 and say, ’Oh, it’s for the fundraiser — keep the change!” The Commitment to Caring For Dr. Foster, the UGSGC’s work to create and sustain the grant named in her honor illustrates the commitment to caring that is fundamental to nursing. “This grant, and the many others student groups do, indicates the kind of professionals they’re becoming,” she said. “Many of them of course came in already very much attuned to service and the needs of others, so I think doing what we can as a school to foster, acknowledge and encourage that is very important.” Moore agrees: “It really underscores why they have selected the nursing profession, why they have undertaken this career. And it’s because they care about others and are committed to supporting them, whether it’s a patient and family in their care or the student sitting next to them in class. It’s just a very amazing, wonderful program. It honors somebody that we all respect and admire, and it came from the hearts of the students.” Carolina Nursing 5 In her 21 years directing the undergraduate nursing program, Dr. Beverly Foster, PhD, RN, has attended more than her fair share of commencement exercises. While each one has been special in some way, May 2013’s pomp and circumstance included a surprise that reduced the typically unflappable Foster to tears. As she sat on stage in the Dean E. Smith Center preparing to welcome the graduates, Dr. Foster was stunned to hear Sheena Hilton, BSN ’13, chair of the SON Undergraduate Student Council (UGSGC), announce the Dr. Beverly Foster Grant for Student Support, a student-created fund to help peers in financial difficulty. “It was a total shock to me that something was being established with my name on it,” said Dr. Foster, who recalled struggling to compose herself before addressing the crowd of hundreds. “I mean, I wasn’t retiring, I hadn’t died, so it was quite a lovely gift.” For Hilton and her UGSGC colleagues, naming the fund for Dr. Foster made perfect sense. “We wanted to recognize Bev for her years of leadership in the nursing school,” Hilton said. “She always helped students and went above and beyond, and we felt this grant did the same thing.” Students helping students Hilton came up with the idea for the fund when she and Joe Biddix, BSN ’12, UGSGC chair ’12, needed to spend a surplus in the Council’s account. She felt providing grants to help the students served by the Council was the best use of the money. “School is hard in general, but it’s especially hard for people when finances are difficult, whether it’s school-related or just life-related,” said Ethan Cicero, BSN ’14, UGSGC chair ’14. “So we wanted to make it easier for them. We wanted them to see ‘We’re working for you.’” F EATUR E S 4 Fall/Winter 2016 Students establish fund to help peers, honor respected faculty member CARING FOR THEIR OWN “A hundred dollars may not be a lot to some, but to the people we help it means the world. Nursing is a profession that helps those in need, and by starting this, I felt that I could start something that could help many.” —Sheena Hilton, BSN ’13 Dr. Beverly Foster by Lisa Mincey Ware Joya Bland’s dream is to deliver babies. A recent Carolina graduate, she’s getting a master’s degree in physiology at N.C. State and preparing to apply to medical school. After that, she’ll seek a residency in obstetrics and gynecology. And though there are years between Bland and those babies, she’s no stranger to what a birthing mother needs. As a volunteer doula at UNC Hospitals, Bland has supported women through 12 hours of nonstop labor, held their hands through contractions and explained increasingly intense stages of labor with words of comfort and encouragement. Learning how to dial into the patient side of childbirth before becoming a physician was Bland’s mission when, as a women’s and gender studies major at UNC in 2014, she signed up for an innovative APPLES service-learning class at the UNC School of Nursing that matches volunteer doulas at UNC Hospitals with Carolina students to offer a unique experience in patient-centered care. Having the opportunity to attend births as part of her undergraduate curriculum is something Bland describes as “life-enhancing.” For the first birth Bland attended as a student, she stepped in for the last 12 hours of a labor already 36 hours long. By the time Bland entered the room, the mother was exhausted and worried. The family needed support, too. "While the doctor and nurse treated her, I was there to remind her that she was doing fine, to help her change position in bed, breathe with her, help her get comfortable and encourage her to rest so she would have strength to push,” said Bland. “I didn’t leave her side. I kept reminding her that soon she’d be holding her baby, and I helped her keep going.” A unique model of education and care Birth doulas aren’t clinicians — they are professionally trained birth companions who can offer physical and emotional support to the woman laboring and her family. Their presence can help women cope with pain, provide non-medical assistance to the mother and her family, and take some of the burden off nurses who are providing treatment and might not have time to stop and soothe. Doulas provide educational and emotional support during labor and birth, helping mothers navigate their way through the unique experience of childbirth. They offer suggestions to help labor progress — walking, the use of a birthing ball, relaxing in the tub. If the patient has had an epidural, a doula can help her change position to help the baby move down the birth canal. And, at N.C. Women’s Hospital, laboring women can benefit from the support and care of a doula free of charge, courtesy of the Birth Partners volunteer doula program. More and more women are choosing to request their support. “Not a lot of hospitals have this. It’s pretty unique to have doulas in a public hospital environment,” said Rhonda Lanning, a certified nurse midwife and faculty member at the School of Nursing who runs Birth Partners, the growing volunteer doula program, and teaches “Supporting the Childbearing Family,” the APPLES service-learning course that brings together the doulas and students for an immersive, hands-on educational experience. “This fall we tripled the number of families served in the Birth Partners program, and this is largely due to our service-learning course.” The class, made possible with a grant from the Carolina Center for Public Service, is offered once a year, and Lanning accepts between 12 and 16 students from a pool of nearly 60 applications. She builds the class with a Carolina Nursing 7 F EATUR E S Fall/Winter 2016 An APPLES service-learning class at Carolina partners with volunteer doulas at N.C. Women’s Hospital to enhance students’ educational experiences and better serve women delivering babies. BETTER BIRTHS by Courtney Jones Mitchell, UNC Women’s Care UNC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology “I was there to remind her that she was doing fine, to help her change position in bed, breathe with her, help her get comfortable.” —Joya Bland 6 “I didn’t leave her side. I kept reminding her that soon she’d be holding her baby, and I helped her keep going.” —Joya Bland Carolina Nursing 9 F EATUR E S 8 Fall/Winter 2016 diversity of academic disciplines, backgrounds, interests and experiences, and spends the first few weeks of class on childbirth and breastfeeding education as well as formal doula training. When they’re ready, students are paired with one of the volunteer doulas and work under that mentor to begin attending births. As part of the APPLES requirements, the students must put in 30 hours of service as a volunteer. Brooklynne Travis, who graduated with her BSN from the School of Nursing in May 2016 and is pursuing training in a dual Doctor of Nursing Practice and Certified Nurse Midwife program, said Lanning’s class this past fall helped her focus her career goals by allowing her to explore how she felt about childbirth. “This class was a great way for me to engage more specifically in women’s health in addition to the other maternity classes I took in nursing school,” said Travis. “It was a very good hands-on experience and helped me formulate concretely what I felt about birth and learn about birth from an evidence-based perspective.” Travis has three children of her own and said that she’d not had positive birth experiences. By being a doula, she got a chance to see women’s bodies at work, something she said was healing for her and helped solidify her passion to become a midwife. “Midwifery supports women’s bodies to do what they are designed to do, and being empowered to let your body do what it is designed to do is what I believe about birth,” she said. “I was able to see that we can support and help advance that birth process as a doula in the hospital where, if there is a problem, modern medicine can very quickly come to the rescue.” During one birth she attended as part of the class, Travis noticed fear in the husband’s eyes after his wife’s water had broken. She was able to calm him, telling him that the water breaking was a good sign — his wife’s body was progressing the way it should, and though it was intense, he didn’t need to be scared. “This is an opportunity for future health care providers to think about the patient care environment and work with patients and families to provide comfort and support and education, which often takes a back seat to diagnosing, treating and medicating. Here, they really get the value of patient-centered care, and we hope they take that back to their medical or nursing school experiences,” said Lanning. “Through this class, I’ve been able to see birth as something that is very hard, but can be very beautiful. I’d never experienced a peaceful birth until I was a doula,” said Travis. “Being a doula has given me back a lot of perspective, and now I know midwifery is what I’m called to do.” Benefits based in evidence People have undervalued the measures doulas provide, said Lanning, even though research shows that the use of a doula has clear benefits for families during childbirth and after, with no known risks. A 2013 review published in the Cochrane Library revealed that women who have support from a companion who is neither a member of the hospital staff nor a friend or family member are less likely to have a cesarean section, use synthetic oxytocin to speed labor, use pain medication or report a negative childbirth experience than women who labor alone. Birth Partners makes it part of their mission to reach out to vulnerable populations: women who are laboring alone, women with a long hospital stay prior to birth, women experiencing a loss or the incarcerated. “Incarcerated women are giving birth alone, and they deserve that care,” said Lanning. Lanning has a letter from the Department of Corrections that affirms Birth Partners’ goal to offer support to incarcerated women. Lanning said there are always pros and cons with bringing students into a volunteer program, because they come and they go. But “they come with such enthusiasm, passion, energy and optimism,” she said. “This is an opportunity for future health care providers to think about the patient care environment,” Lanning added, “and work with patients and families to provide comfort and support and education, which often takes a back seat to diagnosing, treating and medicating. Here, they really get the value of patient-centered care, and we hope they take that back to their medical or nursing school experiences.” School of Nursing students Rachel Tarwater and Brooklynne Travis listen during Lanning’s class.

Carolina Nursing 11 The men and women who come to Dorcas Ministries are in need. In need of a meal, in need of counseling, in need of secure housing. In need of care. And that puts them squarely within the mission of the UNC School of Nursing. “We’re really invested in the well-being of the whole community,” said Professor Marianne Cockroft, standing just outside the storefront entrance of Dorcas on a cold and blustery February morning. “Every visit we have here is meaningful.” Inspired by a conversation at her church, Cockroft spearheaded the creation of a School of Nursing mobile health care clinic, which sets up shop each week outside Dorcas Ministries in Cary and Western Wake Crisis Ministry in Apex. Operating from a specially equipped van rented from the UNC School of Medicine, the clinic offers free checkups, health counseling and referrals. The effort is funded by a grant from Cockroft’s congregation at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Cary. “It really fills a gap in the community,” said Howard Manning, executive director of Dorcas Ministries. “It not only improves the quality of life for people, but it’s a much more economical approach to health problems.” More than 73 percent of the clients at Dorcas and Western Wake Crisis Ministries suffer from at least one chronic illness. Treatment for those conditions can fall by the wayside when more immediate life troubles intrude, and that can lead to long-term health complications and much steeper costs. By offering a free consultation and medical counseling at the crisis ministries, Cockroft and her colleagues hope to prevent more severe problems down the road. “Stress can make chronic health problems more troublesome,” Cockroft said. “And most of the people we’re seeing here are facing pretty significant stress in their lives. We can educate people on ways to manage their health care, and connect them with other resources in the area.” Behind her, a mother and daughter climbed aboard the van for a checkup. The mobile clinic is staffed by faculty volunteers from the School of Nursing, along with nursing students on clinical rotation. The mobile site is offering an especially rich education for nursing students interested in public health. Diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic conditions are some of the most common concerns, but nurses have to be prepared for anything. “It gives me some very direct insight into community health needs,” said Katie Steinheber, a nurse at Duke University Hospital who is pursuing her master’s degree at UNC. “Some people have very specific health questions, and some people just want to be able to talk to someone, to debrief about their health problems and their worries.” S CHOOL NEWS 10 Fall/Winter 2016 Finding ways to serve patients outside the medical mainstream is crucial in reducing the overall burden of health care. A 2014 study in the American Journal of Managed Care found that mobile clinics “have a critical role to play in providing high-quality, low-cost care to vulnerable populations.” At UNC, Cockroft won immediate support for taking nursing expertise on the road. “The faculty have been great, just really enthusiastic,” she said. “There’s so much potential for what we could do with this.” Realizing that potential will mean measuring outcomes for the mobile clinic, a major challenge when working with low-income and often transient populations. School of Nursing faculty are already considering ways to measure the value of preventative care, mainly in terms of costs avoided through timely intervention. “We have to show results if we want to grow,” Cockroft said. “We need to find out: if we weren’t here, where would these folks have gone? Would they have gone to the emergency room, or nowhere at all?” In the Dorcas parking lot, the nurses working directly with grateful patients are already convinced. “Did you see how relieved she was?” asked Assistant Professor Wanda Wazenegger, speaking about a patient who spent more than 20 minutes in the mobile clinic. “She was so glad to have someone to talk to, someone to care.” Then Wazenegger went back to organizing the van, readying for the next patient.

It not only improves the quality of life for people, but it’s a much more economical approach to health problems.” —Howard Manning Carolina Nursing 13 S CHOOL NEWS 12 Fall/Winter 2016 The UNC School of Nursing is pleased to announce the renewal of the T32 training grant that funds its “Interventions for preventing and Managing Chronic Illness” training program for five more years. Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, the Ruth l. Kirschstein Institutional National Research Award — or T32 — is an institutional training grant designed to prepare qualified individuals for scientific careers that have significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation. Now in its fifth round of funding, the School of Nursing’s T32 program has been producing renowned nurse scientists for nearly a quarter century. First established under the direction of Dr. Merle Mishel in the 1990s, the program is designed to equip pre- and postdoctoral trainees with the knowledge, skills and experience needed to develop a program of research that will lead to improved outcomes for people at risk of, or living with, chronic illness. with this latest renewal announced in June 2016, the program will focus on abbreviating the time taken for research to enter into practice by emphasizing the development of interventions that are designed with practice in mind, as well as focused study on dissemination and implementation science. Dr. Sheila Santacroce and Dr. Jennifer leeman will direct the five-year, $2.41 million T32 program, which funds stipends, health insurance, and some professional travel and other research-related expenses for doctoral and postdoctoral trainees. T32 trainees enjoy mentorship from School of Nursing faculty, as well as those at top-ranked UNC academic departments, health affairs schools and centers, including the UNC Center for Health promotion and Disease prevention, NC TraCS, UNC Center for Bioethics and the UNC lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. “Through the guidance provided by the T32 program, I have begun thinking of myself as a nurse scientist. It has empowered me as I move forward in the doctoral program,” said Becky Salomon, current predoctoral trainee. “The renewal of this T32 training grant well positions the UNC School of Nursing to continue its important work of producing some of the nation’s best nurse scientists and effective and high-impact nursing science on chronic illness,” said Interim Dean Donna Havens. “we’re thrilled to be able to serve the health needs of North Carolina and the broader world in this way.” UNC is one of just 17 schools of nursing in the United States to receive T32 funding from NINR, and is tied for second with UCSF for duration of T32 funding. T32 Renewed for Interventions for Preventing and Managing Chronic Illness SON, FIRST QUALITY HOLD INAUGURAL CARE SUMMIT From the halls of research to the bedside, Carolina Nursing faculty embrace the nitty-gritty of real-world care and are fearless in their pursuit of new knowledge that will lead to best care practices. In June they joined a longstanding partner in this pursuit, First Quality®, to inaugurate a Care Summit to address current challenges to patient care and how best to solve them. First Quality, a solutions-based corporate leader in products for long-term, assisted living and acute care, sponsored the summit, which took place in Chapel Hill June 7–8, 2016. UNCSON research faculty joined First Quality for a dynamic dialogue centered on a common goal: Meeting Vulnerable Populations Where They Live: A Summit to Address Care Challenges and Solutions. Assistant Dean for Advancement Anne Webb collaborated with First Quality Technical Service Director and former SON Foundation Board member Jim Minetola to secure funding for the summit. The summit grew from the vision of Dr. Mary Palmer, Helen W. & Thomas L. Umphlet Distinguished Professor in Aging, who led the event along with Michele Mongillo, clinical director at First Quality. “The School of Nursing is a vibrant community of nurse scientists and educators engaged in real-world solutions,” said Palmer. “First Quality is incredibly innovative and forward-thinking on behalf of a rapidly increasing patient population. Bringing our strengths together to brainstorm solutions for the good of vulnerable patients was a goal of this summit, and it was fantastic working with them.” With corporate funding from First Quality, more than 60 students, faculty, First Quality employees and School of Nursing Foundation Board members explored the latest advancements in caring for the elderly, those with chronic physical or mental illness, inmate populations and the homeless. Faculty from the Schools of Nursing, Medicine and Social Work, along with the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, presented a holistic look at the influences of govern-ment policy, low-resource communities, medication delivery, communication and preventive and palliative care. “After the presentations, we broke into small groups of lightning talks — fast bursts of information to encourage discussion,” Palmer said. “It was very intentional to think creatively. It was a high-energy meeting.” Organizers hope the partnership with First Quality will continue. “They’re interested in seeking real-world solutions, and that’s why they mesh so well with our faculty. The summit created a lot of energy and creative thinking for solution-finding, and we want to carry that forward,” said Palmer. An earlier partnership with First Quality created a graduate student merit scholarship that, through leadership opportunities, exposed students to the latest developments in evidence-based care while networking with First Quality health care professionals to learn more about their industry. Santacroce (L) and Leeman (R) Dr. Mary Palmer speaks at the Inaugural Care Summit 14 Fall/Winter 2016 Carolina Nursing 15 S CHOOL NEWS On April 12, gray skies and chilly spring temperatures gave way to warm sunshine just in time for the UNCSON to celebrate the life and work of Elizabeth Tornquist — “ET” to all who knew her here. ET passed away unexpectedly in late January. A crowd of current and former faculty and staff, alumni, Tornquist family and friends gathered in Fox Auditorium to pay tribute to the person and career that affected so many so positively. An editor of uncanny insight and skill, Tornquist mentored SON faculty, indeed nursing faculty the world over, to unprecedented success in grant funding and publication. “Nursing was her special cause — and thank God for that — we needed her!” said Mary Champagne, dean emerita of the Duke School of Nursing and former SON faculty member. “I doubt there is anyone more responsible for helping researchers with good ideas for improving health care get grant funding than our Elizabeth.” Further remarks and readings were offered by Deans Emerita Cindy Freund and Linda Cronenwett, by Professors Mary Lynn and Linda Beeber, by Interim Dean Donna Havens and by Chrish Peel, Elizabeth’s nephew. The tribute was followed by a reception featuring some of ET’s favorite recipes, catered by her daughter Amy, a celebrated chef and restaurateur in Durham. A fund has been set up to honor ET’s extraordinary legacy — the Elizabeth Muse Tornquist Endowment for Scientific Writing — designed to fund programs and other activities to support the writing efforts of faculty, students, health care clinicians and scientists from many disciplines both at the SON and across the country. Programs may include institutes for scientific writing, terms for editors-in-residence, workshops and lectureships — all designed to continue in some fashion ET’s remarkable contributions.

ELIZABETH TORNQUIST SON HOSTS TRIBUTE, ESTABLISHES FUND TO HONOR The UNC School of Nursing was pleased to host the annual meeting of the nation’s prestigious Hillman Scholars program in Nursing Innovation in late May. The Scholars program was established by the Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation in 2010 to identify and prepare — swiftly — the next generation of nurse scientists and scholars. offered only at the universities of North Carolina, Michigan and pennsylvania, the highly selective program is designed to furnish Hillman Scholars with BSN and phD degrees in fewer than six years. The theme of this year’s meeting was The Many Facets of leadership: Research, practice, policy and Innovation. A busy three days of sessions kicked off in Chapel Hill on Tuesday, May 24, with a compelling discussion on diversity, inclusiveness and policy, led by Dr. Rumay Alexander, director of the SoN’s office of Inclusive Excellence and special assistant to the Chancellor. The second annual Charles and Colleen Astrike Symposium on Health Care Solutions was held Tuesday evening, with panelists linda Aiken, phD, RN, FAAN; Cathy Madigan, DNp, RN; and Gwen Sherwood, phD, RN, FAAN, offering views on nursing leadership in quality and safety from the front lines of research, practice and education. A thoughtful question-and-answer session followed the moving testimony of the Astrike family’s experience with their mother’s nursing care — a tragic case, with consequences all the more grievous for having been due to errors in health care, and avoidable for her and her loved ones. Dr. Bill Roper, dean of the UNC School of Medicine, vice chancellor for medical affairs and CEo of UNC Hospitals, was a highlight of wednesday’s sessions, serving as the special guest in an informal discussion on leadership at the Intersection of Research, Health Care and policy, led by Dr. Aiken and UNC Hillman Scholar leah Morgan. The meeting wrapped up midday Thursday following leadership development activities, social and networking opportunities and further sessions on leadership in the areas of research, policy and professional development. “It was an honor to host such a thought-provoking and inspiring three days,” said professor Cheryl Jones, phD, RN, FAAN, director of the Hillman Scholars program at UNC. “The annual meeting is only one of the highlights the Hillman Scholars program brings to the universities that benefit from this recognition. However, we were especially honored to host this year’s event, which allowed us to showcase the many initiatives under way here at UNC-CH. we’re so grateful to all the speakers who made it such a rich opportunity for us all.” SON Hosts Hillman Scholars Program Annual Meeting (L to R) Interim Dean Donna Havens joins former deans Linda Cronenwett, Cindy Freund and Mary Champagne Bill Roper, CEO of UNC Hospitals (center), answers questions on leadership. Members of Tornquist’s family and friends listen to moving tributes offered to ET’s memory. (L) Linda Aiken, (R) Hillman Scholar Leah Morgan Starting courageous dialogues Rumay Alexander was recently named special assistant to Chancellor Carol L. Folt. In her new role, Alexander is focusing on integrating initiatives across campus to accelerate diversity, inclusion, and family and work-life balance. She maintains her role as professor and director of the office of inclusive excellence at the School of Nursing. Rumay Alexander loves questions. Her favorite one has always been “Why?” The simple word leads to explanations, which can become understanding. But at the very least, it begins a discussion. “It’s those kinds of questions that will allow us, as a community, to become more inclusive,” Alexander said. “It’s not that you have to know everything, but it’s about how we work on ourselves and have enough self-awareness to say, ‘You know, I need to ask some questions because more than likely, unintentionally, I’m not thinking of something.’” Asking the right questions has become one of Alexander’s greatest tools as she works to make the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill a better and more inclusive community through her new role. Appointed as Folt’s special assistant last November, Alexander is using her new role to integrate initiatives across campus to accelerate diversity, inclusion, and family and work-life balance. She is working closely with the University’s Office of Workforce, Equity and Engagement, the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, and the Office of Student Affairs, among others. “Rumay brings a deep understanding and an experienced perspective on how we can more effectively establish an inclusive community for every one of our students, faculty members and staff,” Folt said. “She already is bringing together organizations from across campus to assess current programs and develop new initiatives to fill important gaps and advance our University.” For Alexander, who is already the diversity lead for the Schools of Public Health and Dentistry, and the chair of the Faculty Committee on Community and Diversity, the new position is the most recent stop in her long journey of building inclusive environments. Navigating Tennessee Alexander grew up in the small western Tennessee town of Humboldt, where white and black residents were divided by a single train track. There, she quickly learned how to read her environment — and to build a personal grit that would help beat circumstances designed to set her up for failure. As a sixth grader, Alexander begged her parents to let her and her younger sister join the 25 African-American students who would integrate the local all-white school. Although her parents were nervous — they well knew their daughter’s knack for confronting wrongs — they ultimately agreed. “I was walking into a very dangerous space,” she said. “I was navigating that space as somebody who was intentionally educated inferior to my white counterparts.” Not only were older students physically abusive — sometimes pushing the middle-schooler into lockers or down the stairs — Alexander said she was put in a situation created to make her fail in the classroom as well. For years, Alexander had been learning by using outdated textbooks — the ones passed down to her school after the all-white school received updated books. She immediately went from an honor roll student to D’s. It took her a year of staying up until 3 in the morning, then getting extra help from teachers, before she caught up with her classmates. But she did. “This is what you’ve got to do,” she remembers telling herself at the time. “You just have to do this if you are going Carolina Nursing 17 Deborah K. Mayer, PhD, RN, AOCN, FAAN, has been named to the panel of national experts guiding the “Cancer Moonshot” unveiled during President Barack Obama’s 2016 State of the Union address. During his annual speech to Congress in January 2016, President Obama called for $1 billion in new funding to fast-track promising research for the prevention, early detection, treatment and ultimate curing of cancer. Calling the initiative the “Cancer Moonshot,” he tapped Vice President Joe Biden to lead the effort to “eliminate cancer as we know it.” Dr. Mayer, professor of adult and geriatric health at the UNC Chapel Hill School of Nursing and director of cancer survivorship at UNC Lineberger Cancer Center, is among the nationally recognized experts who will recommend how the proposed funding should be spent. “This is a wonderful recognition and opportunity to bring nursing and patient perspectives to this prestigious panel,” said Dr. Mayer. “Our work will be significant in identifying opportunities to reduce the burden of cancer.” Dr. Mayer has decades of experience with national efforts to improve cancer care, having worked for more than 30 years as a specialist in cancer nursing practice, education, research and management experience. Dr. Mayer is past president of the Oncology Nursing Society, and a former member of the National Cancer Institute’s Board of Scientific Advisors and National Cancer Advisory Board (a presidential appointment). Dr. Mayer was also elected a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. She was the editor for the Oncology Nursing Society’s Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON), and has published nearly 100 articles and book chapters. She lectures internationally on oncology and oncology nursing, and also maintains a clinical practice working with breast cancer survivors at UNC Chapel Hill. “Dr. Mayer brings to the panel tremendous acumen and understanding of the crucial role nurses play in the care and treatment of cancer,” said Donna Havens, interim dean of the UNC School of Nursing. “They couldn’t have made a better choice, and we are so pleased that she will represent UNC as a home for world-class cancer research and care.” FACULTY NEWS 16 Fall/Winter 2016 DEBORAH MAYER TAPPED TO SERVE ON CANCER MOONSHOT BLUE RIBBON PANEL Mayer, an advanced practice oncology nurse and cancer survivor, joins the national panel to help guide more than $1 billion in federal funding for breakthrough cancer research. ALEXANDER NAMED SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO CHANCELLOR By Brandon Bieltz, Office of Communications and Public Affairs Mayer with Vice President Joe Biden In February 2016, Judith Webb, DNP, ANP-BC, ACHPN, joined the SON faculty as an assistant professor in the Division of Adult and Geriatric Health. She was previously an assistant professor at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, MA, where she served as the coordinator of the adult gerontology primary care nurse practitioner track and taught in the DNP program. She helped develop the course, “Introduction to the DNP,” and has continued to teach this distance course since leaving MGHIHP. Since joining the faculty, Webb has become an advisor to LGBTQ students in the School of Nursing and has agreed to serve on the Provost’s Committee on LGBTQ Life at UNC. Dr. Webb is from central New York, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing and a Master of Science degree in nursing from State University of New York Institute of Technology in Utica, NY. She earned the Doctor of Nursing Practice from the MGH Institute of Health Professions, summa cum laude, in 2010. Her doctoral project focused on the long-term impact of surrogate decision-making after the death of a loved one. She is board certified as both an adult nurse practitioner and a palliative care nurse practitioner, with clinical practice experience primarily with older adults. She has extensive practice experience in end-of-life care and caring for people of all ages with life-threatening conditions. She previously taught in New York at Morrisville State College, Binghamton University and SUNY Institute of Technology in Utica. While at the MGH Institute of Health Professions, Dr. Webb served as the chair of the Appeals Committee and co-chair of the Judicial Board, and was the advisor to the LGBTQ student group. Dr. Webb served on the Legislative Committee of the Massachusetts Coalition of Nurse Practitioners, and was an officer in the Mohawk Valley Chapter of the New York state NP organization. Carolina Nursing 19 SON WELCOMES DR. JUDITH WEBB to achieve your hopes, dreams and aspirations.” After high school, Alexander attended the University of Tennessee- Knoxville, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She went on to receive a master’s in nursing from Vanderbilt University and then a doctorate in education from Tennessee State University. “I loved everything about what nurses did,” she said. “That was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m a nurse and proud of it. … I’ve taken care of patients and advocated for them, I’ve been at the bedside, I’ve been a nurse supervisor and I’ve been faculty.” A huge chunk of Alexander’s work also has been in the public policy arena. In 1981, she became the senior vice president of the Tennessee Hospital Association. As the only nurse, the youngest vice president and the only person of color in the association, Alexander was a triple minority at the white-male-dominated organization. There, she made her next big push into creating inclusion. “When you have been considered the least and not one with legitimate standing on the rungs of humanity, you can speak about the lived experience and impact of such a label,” she said. Representing those who provided hands-on care, Alexander’s job was to bring the nurses’ and other care providers’ concerns to the forefront of hospital issues. “My position was often one of ‘How do I help [the association and its members] understand they’re not being inclusive or that there are other perspectives to consider?’” she said. “They were very well-meaning, very smart and intelligent individuals, but what you don’t know, you don’t know. Part of my job was to put the wicked questions on the table, allow a safe way for people to respond and then facilitate the courageous dialogues around intended and unintended consequences.” Fostering human flourishing in Chapel Hill For 21 years, Alexander ignited those inclusive conversations with the Tennessee Hospital Association. Then in 2003, she brought her skill set to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As director of the office of inclusive excellence in the School of Nursing, Alexander has spent more than a decade working to improve retention of faculty, students and staff, and leading a diversity discussion series. “I believe that success is transferable,” she said. “If something works over here, what parts of that can work in this place? My worlds all blend. I will pull from all those places and all those experiences.” And now, what worked for her in Tennessee and in the School of Nursing is being put into practice campus-wide: making sure everybody is represented in decision-making and having what Alexander calls “courageous dialogues.” These dialogues, she said, begin with asking questions and learning to understand perspectives outside one’s own. “Most people, when you ask them about diversity, they give you the dimensions of diversity — how we differ,” Alexander said. “That becomes race, ethnicity, physical abilities, gender, sexuality and you can go on and on. But that’s how we manifest differences often referred to ’diversity of presence.’ I define diversity as holding multiple perspectives without judgment. It’s the judgment part that gets us in trouble.” By coming to a better understanding of what people know and what they don’t know, Alexander said, positive strides can be made. That’s why she hopes viewpoints from throughout the Carolina community can help mold diversity goals — and make an impact on the retention and recruiting of minority faculty and other coordinated initiatives across campus. It all begins by using her favorite question: “Why?” “My overarching goal is ’human flourishing,’” she said. “That’s for faculty, that’s for staff, that’s for students. When we better understand, we can help others flourish.” FACULTY NEWS 18 Fall/Winter 2016 APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS (as of Aug. 2016) Beth Black Chair, Health Care Systems Division Betty Nance-Floyd Director, Center for lifelong learning Jennifer Leeman Associate professor with tenure (July 1, 2016) Cheryl Giscombé Associate professor with tenure (Jan. 1, 2016) SeonAe Yeo professor (Jan. 1, 2016) RETIREMENTS (as of Aug. 2016) Wanda Wazenegger (late April 2016) FAREWELLS (as of Aug. 2016) Debra Barksdale (Jan. 3, 2016) Pamela Johnson Rowsey (June 20, 2016) MiKyung Song (June 30, 2016) Jabar Akbar Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Kristen Allison Clinical Instructor (Jan. 1, 2016) Kristen Cole Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Rachell Davis Clinical Instructor (Jan. 1, 2016) Louise Fleming Clinical Assistant professor (Aug. 1, 2016) Kate Griffith Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Margaret Guzowska Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Nancy Havill Clinical Assistant professor (July 1, 2016) Erica King Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Hilary Mendel Clinical Instructor (May 9, 2016) Britt Pados Clinical Instructor (Aug. 4, 2016) Elizabeth Trianni Clinical Instructor (Aug. 1, 2016) Tracy Vernon-Platt Clinical Instructor (Jan. 1, 2016) Judith Webb Clinical Assistant professor (Feb. 1, 2016) “My worlds all blend.

The SoN’s seven Jonas Scholars will join two current SoN Jonas Scholars, Kayoll Galbraith and lauren Hamilton, and a total cohort of more than 1,000 Jonas Scholars spread throughout all 50 states. As the nation’s leading philanthropic funder of graduate nursing education, the Jonas Center is addressing the critical need for qualified nursing faculty. U.S. nursing schools turned away nearly 70,000 qualified applicants from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs in 2014 due in large part to an insufficient number of faculty1. Further, nearly two-thirds of registered nurses over age 54 say they are considering retirement2. “In 2008, we set an ambitious goal to support 1,000 Jonas Nurse Scholars. This year, on our Center’s 10th anniversary, we celebrate this achievement and are amazed by the talent of this cohort of future nurse leaders,” said Donald Jonas, who co-founded the Center with Barbara Jonas, his wife. “In the decade to come, we look forward to continuing to work with our partner nursing schools and to the great impact that the Jonas Scholars will have on improving healthcare around the world.” —February 4, 2016 ENews Congratulations to Dana Kouchel, RN, BSN, a second-year BSN-to-DNp student who recently received the nursing Geriatrics Interprofessional Fellowship as part of the Carolina Geriatrics workforce Enhancement program (CGwEp). CGwEp, a three-year, $2.55 million HRSA grant-funded project housed in the UNC School of Medicine’s Center for Aging and Health, is designed to improve health outcomes for rural and underserved geriatric populations across North Carolina. As a fellow, Kouchel joins an interprofessional team consisting of a practicing North Carolina nurse, dentist and physician who meet all day every other Monday to be trained in the principals of geriatrics and interprofessional geriatrics care, to develop care protocols and to care for patients. The first topic the team is tackling is one of common concern for many geriatric patients — weight loss and proper nutrition. “I really enjoy learning and working with all members of the interprofessional team. It’s exciting to be developing a program that both improves care for this vulnerable population and facilitates the learning needs of the health care community,” said Kouchel, who is focusing her DNp studies to become an adult/geriatric nurse practitioner. “This program is really a two-way educational street—as the team learns and develops protocols together, we can then pass that education along to fellow caregivers for better patient outcomes.” The team works with piedmont Health SeniorCare in pittsboro, NC, a program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (pACE) that helps patients meet their health care needs in the community rather than going to a nursing home or other care facility. “we’re so privileged to be able to care for older people,” said Kouchel. “It’s important to me that my classmates and other health care providers see and appreciate the value and art of geriatrics care. It may not be glamorous, but we have a duty to help our older patients maintain their independence and dignity as long as possible.” Among its other goals, CGwEp aims to increase the geriatrics workforce pipeline. Mary H. palmer, phD, RN, FAAN, Umphlet Distinguished professor in Aging, is the interprofessional education nursing team leader for the project. “Dana is a perfect fit for this fellowship,” said palmer. “She brings considerable intelligence, creativity, and devotion to her role on the team and is a wonderful ambassador for the care of the elderly—a champion this population sorely needs.” — Feb. 12, 2016 ENews SON Hosts Visiting Faculty from Jönköping University The School of Nursing is very pleased and privileged to host Drs. Maria Björk and Susanne Knutson of Sweden’s Jönköping University this week and next. while here, the pair are working with Drs.

Funded through charitable contributions from Well Care Home Health, the Scholars Program seeks to attract highly qualified master of science in nursing students to the home health industry through focused coursework and clinical experiences in the home health field. Well Care Home Health Scholars will be enrolled in UNC's Health Care Systems Clinical Nurse Leaders graduate program, ranked #4 in the nation. The program will fund scholarships for Well Care Home Health Scholars annually, as well as provide oversight by Associate Professor Meg Zomorodi, PhD, RN, CNL, who will serve as the Well Care Faculty Scholar and liaison between the two organizations to create unique learning experiences for both home health providers and students. Well Care Scholars will participate in an intensive interprofessional curriculum designed to prepare them for team-based management and for focused study into quality and process improvement in the home health setting. Scholars will gain clinical experience with Well Care Home Health and will participate in activities and projects focused on home health care, leadership and interprofessional collaboration. “At a time when the home health industry is facing ever-increasing demands and exceptional growth, this kind of forward-thinking educational program is particularly needed and welcomed,” said Zomorodi. “Well Care Home Health Scholars will be uniquely positioned to utilize skills that are much needed in today’s changing health care system. This is a unique opportunity to partner with a top-tier home health organization to prepare a workforce focused on delivering quality care through care coordination and teamwork.” “We are tremendously excited about this partnership with Well Care Home Health, as it provides a new model for immersive education that is as practical as it is innovative,” said Donna Havens, PhD, RN, FAAN, interim dean of the School of Nursing. “Our students gain on-the-ground experience and training with a dedicated eye toward assessing system strengths and areas for improvement. The genius of public-private partnerships like this one is that not only do the two institutions benefit, but patients in North Carolina are better served by our joint expertise on their behalf. It’s a win-win-win.” “Well Care is proud and excited to partner with the UNC School of Nursing to found the Well Care Home Health Leadership Scholars Program,” said Wayne Long, CEO of Well Care Home Health. “This collaborative venture unites a premier academic nursing program with a leading home health provider in order to provide a truly unique and progressive developmental experience for select nursing students. This exclusive program seeks to identify high-performing and motivated students to deliver highly specialized scholastic experience along with real-world, practical experience that enables accelerated career development opportunities in the nursing profession. As home health and post-acute care increasingly become larger and more important components of the health ecosystem, Well Care is committed to driving positive change and excellent patient outcomes.” As part of the ongoing partnership, the UNC School of Nursing will provide special education sessions for Well Care Home Health staff each year. UNCSON AND WELL CARE HOME HEALTH JOIN TO CREATE UNIQUE EDUCATION-PRACTICE PARTNERSHIP The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing teams up with leading home health provider to establish the Well Care Home Health Leadership Scholars Program—a program funded through gifts to the UNC School of Nursing Foundation to prepare nurse leaders for the home health industry. people, pushing himself to do it even when his body was resisting…he did not let the setbacks he experienced steal his joy.” Dhillon loved to perform magic tricks, create complicated Lego structures, race remote-controlled vehicles and visit the beach on annual trips with his family — collecting shells, doing crafts, riding the waves and blowing bubbles off the deck. While living with his illness, he and his family traveled to 10 countries. Support from an informed community outside the hospital was important to Dhillon’s care. He enlisted his grandmother to help explain his “special heart” to friends, classmates and new teachers at his Montessori school. The two of them sat at the kitchen table and developed a PowerPoint, then collected a pulse oximeter and a model heart for props. “We talked about what he wanted me to say about his limitations and what kind of understanding he wanted from his classmates and teachers,” Foster said. “We told them there are visible disabilities you can see when someone walks with a white cane or sits in a wheelchair, but many invisible disabilities can also leave you with special needs. Dhillon said it would be helpful to him if his classmates walked more slowly when they changed classes so he could keep up with them…and to know why he couldn’t play soccer on a hot field or throw a football for long periods of time. He would be the scorekeeper.” The goal of the Dhillon Jordan Shah Innovation Fund for Congenital Heart Disease is to stimulate the career path development and lifelong interest of health professionals in congenital heart disease: prevention, patterns of occurrence, assessment, treatment, family and sibling resources and needs across the continuum of care, and the growth and development of the child into adulthood. The need is great. Each year, as many as 40,000 children are born with a heart defect — eight out of every 1,000 infants. More than 1.3 million Americans live with some form of a congenital heart defect, and chronic illness and disability push the numbers even higher: as many as 10–20 million. To help meet the need, “Dhillon’s Gift” gives preference to projects that represent interprofessional efforts. “On one day between morning and noon, I counted 17 different health professionals who contributed to Dhillon’s care,” Foster said. “There is a huge context involved in illness, recovery and death — a whole cadre of people — not just the person in the bed.” Those who would like to be part of Dhillon’s legacy are invited to contribute to the Dhillon Jordan Shah Innovation Fund for Congenital Heart Disease. More information is available on the Facebook page, “Dhillon’s Heart Journey.” Online gifts can be made at giving.unc.edu or by check c/o Anne Webb, School of Nursing, Carrington Hall, CB# 7460, Chapel Hill, NC 27599.

Carolina Nursing 33 FOUNDAT ION NEWS 32 Fall/Winter 2016 Before Nora warshawsky earned her phD from the UNCSoN in 2011, she was a multitasking full-time graduate student who taught for four years in the classroom and clinic, served as graduate student representative to the University, pursued her own research, traveled to professional conferences and cultivated an off-campus network of like-minded colleagues. It wasn’t easy, but warshawsky hopes to make it easier on the next generation of nurse scholars by creating the M. Vivian Baker Expendable Fund for Graduate Student Support. Named in honor of warshawsky’s aunt, this gift provides financial support for professional travel or research, quality improvement and practice projects for doctoral students matriculating in one of the health care system’s graduate nursing programs. “The Vivian Baker Fund hopes to seed research endeavors that can inspire someone’s lifework,” said Katisha paige, associate director of advancement and alumni affairs at the UNC School of Nursing. After she graduated from Carolina, Nora warshawsky, phD, RN, CNE, joined the University of Kentucky College of Nursing as an assistant professor. She teaches health systems courses in the Doctor of Nursing practice (DNp) |
