N
ow that the Affordable Care Act has been rolled out across the
county, nurses continue to be an increasingly significant part of the
solution. In response to health needs in New Mexico, the state has
increased funding for advanced practice registered nurse education. Nurses and
advanced practice nurses, in particular, are relied on to help stem the tide of an
overburdened health care delivery system. The UNM College of Nursing is up
for the challenge and can use your support!
Inside your Annual Report, you will learn how clinical training using hightech simulation is a growing part of our nursing student experience at UNM.
Students participate in rare and complex scenarios without placing patients at
risk or in discomfort. This high-tech and high-touch training enables students to
enter the health care workforce with a higher skill level during their first months
on the job.
We are also excited to introduce you to the cancer research of Dr. Barbara Damron and Dr. Emily
Haozous. You will learn how Dr. Damron is working to reduce disparities in Hispanic cancer patients
using text messages to increase compliance. Dr. Haozous incorporates into her research her pride in
representing Native American populations, including research on the far-reaching effects of radiation from
the Trinity Project detonations in the mid-1940s.

The College has also been fortunate to receive state funding to increase total enrollments in UNM’s
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse-Midwife programs.
The increased enrollment opportunities aid in getting these nurses into New Mexico’s communities.
Additionally, UNM’s preceptors are located statewide throughout rural New Mexico, providing invaluable
clinical experience for students.
To help keep pace with this added capacity, we have been hiring at an increasing rate. We had nine faculty
join our ranks this year. Student Services has also added two new advisors and a financial aid specialist.
Guiding students through the program as efficiently as possible is critical to keeping costs down for all
involved. Our Student Services team will update you on the fantastic job they do shepherding students
through the program.
In spite of the economy’s relatively strong performance, student debt burdens can be overwhelming.
The College works diligently to provide educational and financial opportunities for students wherever
possible. Thank you for supporting the UNM College of Nursing and helping to improve the lives of
so many New Mexicans.

New Mexico Governor Susana
Martinez Champions Nursing
Nurses are “the backbone of efforts”
to expand New Mexico’s primary care
workforce, according to Governor
Susana Martinez, and they help ensure
that people living in the state’s rural
and underserved communities can
obtain the high-quality care they need
and deserve. A video from the Governor
helped open the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation Academic Progression
in Nursing meeting in Washington,
D.C., which brought together nurse
leaders from around the country. In her
remarks, Governor Martinez explained
why New Mexico has implemented a
common statewide nursing curriculum,
made it easier for nurses in the state to
further their education and placed “a
strong emphasis on nurses.”
The New Mexico Nursing Education
Consortium is a collaborative of nearly
every nursing program across the state
creating a common core curriculum
in nursing education, transforming
the current structure into a resourceefficient and easily accessible
baccalaureate program for students.

STUDENT SERVICES
EDUCATION
EXPANDING TEAM
A
s the College of Nursing expands it programs,
the need to expand the number of employees
also grows. More faculty, more advisors and
more student services personnel need to be hired. We’d

he patient blinked his eyes and stared at the
ceiling, mouth open. An unsettling moan erupted
as his chest began to rise and fall. The stone-faced
figure in a hospital bed looked like the high-fidelity
mannequin that he was – yet the touch of his skin and
the beat of his heart were lifelike.
Instructors at the University of New Mexico College of
Nursing simulation lab know their new computerized
mannequins can be intimidating at first.
“Our nursing students may start out a bit ambivalent
about the experience,” said Lab Director
Joseph Poole, Jr., RN, MSN. “They aren’t sure
what to expect from the mannequins, and
they are having to perform an exam on one
in front of their peers. But their hesitancy
doesn’t last long. It really does begin to
mimic the clinical setting as they move
through the session moment by moment.”
used for more complex scenarios, from cardiac arrest
to multiple trauma injuries. Midwifery students can
monitor the fetal heartbeat as Sim Mom labors. They
can later practice using pediatric exam tools on Sim
NewB, a newborn simulator.
“In the lab you can tie many nursing concepts and skills
together that are needed by a student and increase
the holistic way in which they care for their patients,”
said Herica Torres, RN, MSN, a clinical instructor and
simulation coordinator.
Simulators have been in classrooms since the
1980s, but a new generation of high-fidelity
simulators has brought about something
of a revolution in the way nursing classes
are taught. These Wi-Fi mannequins groan,
wheeze and blink. Stomachs rumble. Pulses
race and then drop dangerously low. They
might vomit. With the help of moulage,
bodily fluids flow, and smells waft across the
exam table, mimicking the clinical setting.
Regulators love them. They want to see
students learning without placing patients at any
unnecessary risk or discomfort. They also know that
when students can participate in complex and rare
scenarios, they are better prepared to enter the
workforce after graduation.
Every undergraduate student at the UNM College
of Nursing is now required to spend time in the
simulation lab. Beginning students practice inserting
intravenous lines and performing basic skills on lowtech mannequins. The more complex models are
The evolution has been quick. Five years ago, most
UNM nursing students encountered a small number of
mannequins during their training. By 2013, a total of
856 student encounters had occurred in the lab. That
number increased to 1,250 in Spring 2014.
“I love the sim,” said nursing student Darlene Lucille Baca,
who is beginning her last semester of training. “It was
creepy for a minute, but it really forces you to focus.”

EDUCATION
“You can hear the wheezing in the chest. It helps even
in little things, like remembering that you must first
listen to the bowel before you palpate it or you will
change what you are hearing. It really cements how
to do your head-to-toe assessment, which is one of a
nurse’s primary duties,” she said.
Undergraduate students usually begin a simulation
lab day with a briefing session that orients them to
the simulation, and they prepare for the patients they
will be taking care of that day. Once the simulated
experience is over, the students gather for debriefing,
Poole said.
RESEARCH
Lab supervisor Arthur Sedore then begins to put the
mannequins through their paces from his post in the
lab’s control room, where he operates a computer
linked to the mannequins. Students may hear low,
anguished moans as Sedore changes vital signs and
makes other adjustments to the patient’s condition.
Students administer medications and perform nursing
interventions to see how the patient responds.
Students have access to a nearby phone that they can
use to consult with other members of the care team
on better ways to care for their patient.
“If they are focused and achieving the simulation
learning objectives, we might expand the scenario
to allow them to complete all
the objectives,” Poole said. “If
everyone is having difficulty
and getting frustrated, then we
stop and go to the debriefing
room. Often, that is the
important part of the process,
when they are learning from
their peers.”
Research is showing simulators
to be good teachers. A recent
National Council of State Boards
of Nursing study, “The Effect
of High-Fidelity Simulation on
Nursing Students’ Knowledge
and Performance,” showed
that students benefitted from
combining simulation with
clinical activities.
“Being able to follow up with a ‘hands-on’ clinical time
really can enhance the learning process,” he said.
Sessions typically last about 20 minutes. While one
group will assemble to take care of their patients,
the other will sit in the debriefing room with their
instructor and watch their peers perform in the scenario.
“The study showed what
we had been hearing from
employers – students who had
been through simulations begin with a higher skill
level during their first months on the job,” Poole said.
“With the simulations, they are able to see and treat
a wide range of patients, and it shows up in their
confidence and competency.”
CANCER RESEARCH
A
trail blazer throughout her career, Barbara Damron,
PhD, RN, FAAN, was the first oncology advanced
practice nurse in south Texas, was the first to teach
chemotherapy certification training to oncology nurses,
helped to develop the Texas Cancer Council (and the
New Mexico Cancer Council) and helped to ensure that
all nurses throughout the state of Texas received cancer
education training through the Nurse Oncology Education
Program, which she founded. She is currently the Director
of the Office of Community Partnerships & Cancer Health
Disparities for the UNM Cancer Center and Associate
Professor at UNM College of Nursing and at UNM Family &
Community Medicine at the School of Medicine. Damron
is a lead faculty member with the Robert Wood Johnson
Nursing and Health Policy Collaborative at UNM. She
teaches health policy at the PhD and MSN levels and also
serves on dissertation committees.
When you ask Damron what she’s most proud of, she
does not make mention of the research she’s done or the
policies she helped create. After 20 years of advanced
practice oncology experience, it is all about the patient.
She brings the spirit and energy of her patients to the
scientific aspect of her job. Damron knows that had
she started as a scientist, she would not have the same
understanding of the need for her work.
Damron has many concurrent scientific research projects,
but her biggest is addressing disparities in Hispanic cancer
patients. It began by translating an educational sevenmodule program, Cancer 101, into Spanish and testing
the knowledge gained by patients. The project then
tested text messaging as a means to improving physical
activity and dietary habits in Spanish-speaking individuals.
Participants demonstrated large improvement through
self-reporting. For Year 4, this same messaging system
was used on Hispanic colon cancer patients receiving
oral chemotherapy. Patients and providers are currently
being surveyed and interviewed to determine whether
text messaging reminders increase adherence to taking
the drug. The National Cancer Institute has provided the
funding for these advances each year.
Barbara Damron
Damron is a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health
Policy Fellow. She worked as a professional staff member
in the US Senate Committee on Health, Education,
Labor, and Pensions on health policy in Washington
D.C., and she continues that hard work here at home.
Nationally, research is moving toward the use of human
genetics to tailor treatments to an individual’s makeup.
Cancer is leading the way in this field. There is a need for
human specimens, and people in general are hesitant to
participate. Damron is working with the Pueblo Council of
Governors to discuss the needs and wants of the pueblos
in regard to policy and protection in genetic testing. It is
her goal that the final guidelines would be used across
UNM, not just the Cancer Center. The Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation and American Cancer Center are
providing funding for this project.

RESEARCH
W
hile at Yale earning her Master of Science
in Nursing degree, Emily Haozous, PhD,
RN, realized there were very few Native
American nurses conducting research. A member of
the Chiricahua Fort Sill Apache Tribe, she applied to
the Yale PhD program and was accepted, completing
the program in 2009. Haozous is currently an Assistant
Professor at the UNM College of Nursing, teaching
PRACTICE
The first comprehensive study conducted by the
federal government to estimate cancer risk to New
Mexicans alive at the time of the Trinity nuclear test
is now being performed. A team from the National
Cancer Institute came to New Mexico in September
to conduct in-depth interviews to determine the
typical diet and lifestyle habits of Native American and
Hispanic populations living in New Mexico in the mid1940s to understand the full impact.
The team, including Dr. Haozous as a co-investigator,
travelled throughout the state, interviewing elders
about their memories of their diet and lifestyles
during the 1940s. Dr. Haozous coordinated interviews
and community meetings, and facilitated the
qualitative interviews.
Emily Haozous
research methods in the MSN and PhD programs.
When you ask her what she’s most proud of, she says
that it is being able to advocate and provide a voice
for indigenous people in health research.
In July 1945, the U.S. government detonated the first
atomic bomb, nicknamed “Trinity,” near White Sands,
N.M. There was never any follow-up done on the
cancer risk from the exposure to radiation until now.
Other sites of major radiation releases have been
studied extensively, including the effects of the bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, and the
Nevada and Marshall Islands nuclear test sites.

Funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholar program, Haozous
is also working to address medical mistrust of
health care providers among Native Americans. She
began her research three years ago using digital
storytelling to improve cancer screening rates with
Native American women. Cancer survivors and family
members who lost someone to cancer were asked
to create a short video sharing their experiences.
Through this project, Dr. Haozous learned that digital
storytelling workshops provided a healing process for
those who made the videos. Qualitative interviews
were done with survivors and family members. The
participants reported that they expected to learn
the technical skills of making a video; instead, they
received a very powerful healing experience.
Haozous is quick to point out that the UNM College
of Nursing has some wonderful Native American
scholarships for students: Louise Grey Kiger
Nursing Scholarship, Joan Marie Tippeconnic
Memorial Scholarship Endowment, and Thomas A.
Plein Memorial Scholarship Endowment. She is
extremely proud to be part of a college of nursing
that has alumni, faculty and staff who are so dedicated
to supporting the successes of American Indian
nursing students.
GROWING ADVANCED PRACTICE PROGRAM
BY MICHAEL HAEDERLE
E
rin Stopani couldn’t seem to get enough of a
good thing when she finished the certified NurseMidwifery program at the University of New Mexico
(UNM) College of Nursing last May.
$1.7 million recurring appropriation to grow the total
number enrolling in UNM’s pediatric nurse practitioner,
family nurse practitioner and certified nurse-midwife
programs from 24 to 40 students.
“I graduated on Friday and started school again on
Monday for the Family Nurse Practitioner program,”
Stopani says matter-of-factly. When she graduates next
Enrollment deadlines are fast approaching—Oct. 1 for
the certified nurse-midwife program and Nov. 1 for
the pediatric and family nurse practitioner tracks. The
first expanded classes will start in the summer 2015
semester for graduation in 2017.
“We’re trying really hard to get the word out,” says
Carolyn Montoya, PhD, a certified pediatric nurse
practitioner, associate professor and interim director of
the College of Nursing Practice Team. “The Legislature
is making a commitment. I am trying to be sure that we
spend this money appropriately and we have sufficient
students.”
spring, she will have a Master of Science in Nursing
degree as a nurse-midwife and a post-master’s certificate
as a family nurse practitioner—and a job waiting for her
at Presbyterian Healthcare.
The extensive clinical experience she has gained in
her training has given her first-rate preparation for the
demands of the workplace, Stopani believes. “That was
one of the main reasons I chose UNM,” she says. “The
amount of clinical experience was above what most
other programs expected. I really think that is the
best way to learn.”
Stopani’s experience is typical for many graduates from
UNM’s trio of advanced practice registered nurse (APRN)
programs. Soon, thanks to an infusion of new state
funding, more students will have an opportunity to
pursue this career track.
In a bid to boost the ranks of primary care providers in the
state, the 2014 New Mexico Legislature included a nearly
The three APRN programs each begin with online
courses in pathophysiology, research, nursing theory
and health policy, Montoya says. Then the training shifts
to clinical courses on block schedules, in which students
alternate between the classroom and hands-on training
in clinics.
“We send students all over the state,” Montoya says. “We
can’t have you in a class on Monday and expect you to
do a three-hour drive to Las Cruces to do your clinical.
If you are from a rural community, we will try as much
as possible to place you for your clinical experience
in your hometown.”
The trio of programs are a good fit for registered
nurses (RNs) looking to expand their skillset and for
greater autonomy in their practice, Montoya says,
pointing out that New Mexico is one of 16 states in
which nurse practitioners and certified midwives
practice independently and with their own prescriptive
authority.
“One of our selling points is that we’re not a massive
program,” Montoya says. “There are some that take
a hundred or more students. We don’t do that. Our
students receive individualized faculty instruction.”

PRACTICE
The fact that 100 percent of the students who have
graduated from the program in the past five years have
passed their certification exams is another plus, she
says. Students also benefit from close supervision from
faculty and preceptors while getting their clinical
training, she says.
Stopani, a Chapparal, N.M., native who started out as a
licensed midwife before earning her Bachelor of Science
in Nursing degree (BSN) at Texas Tech University, had
more than 800 patient interactions in the certified
nurse-midwifery program. “It’s incredible that we have
preceptors who share their clientele with us,” she says.
“They’re so invested in our learning that they’re willing
to share those experiences.”
FACULTY PUBLICATIONS
she says. “They get a student who says, ‘Here’s a new
way to do it, and there’s evidence for it.’” She’s excited to
hear about the expanded APRN program because it will
help improve access to care. “Overall, we can’t meet the
demands right now,” Sanchez-Gallegos says, adding that
the extension of health insurance and Medicaid coverage
under the Affordable Care Act means that increasing
numbers of people will be seeking health care.
Kendall Brown, who earned his BSN at UNM, is enrolled
in the family nurse practitioner program. A Gallup, N.M.,
native who is also a member of the Navajo Nation,
Brown wants to make primary care available where
it’s most needed.
“There’s not that many health care providers out there,”
says Brown, who hopes to work for the Indian Health
Service after he graduates. “The need is great. Many
Native American patients cope with conditions like
diabetes, high blood pressure, depression and anxiety,”
he says.
“What I’m learning in school is how to manage these
illnesses,” he says, adding that the extensive classroom
and clinical training he’s received so far has been “worth
it” because it has improved his skills as an RN.
Diana Sanchez-Gallegos, who earned her
undergraduate, Master of Science in Nursing and
post-master’s certificate from UNM, has worked at
Presbyterian’s family practice in Belen, N.M., for 21 years.
Board-certified as both a family nurse practitioner and
a pediatric nurse practitioner, she remembers well the
bumpy transition between RN and nurse practitioner.
“All of a sudden, you’re in a role where you’re making all
the decisions and you’re writing them down,” she says.
“It’s a whole different ballgame when you’re signing
your name to those orders. It’s a real responsibility,
a real role change.”
Sanchez-Gallegos says that these days, she learns a lot
from serving as a preceptor to young APRN students
from UNM. “You sometimes get stuck in your old ways,”

She hopes that as more students graduate from the
APRN program, many of them will choose to remain
in New Mexico to practice in rural and underserved
communities, where the need is the greatest.

In small towns, she says, practitioners get to know
their patients outside of the clinic. “It’s a very unique

P
roviding patient care in
the wilderness can be very
challenging. However it’s what
Erin Weber, RN, Class of 2012, is
passionate about. She is a volunteer
for the Albuquerque Mountain Rescue
Council and provides technical
rescue support as well as medical
support during rescue missions.
Her background as a nurse is in the
Medical/Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
at University of New Mexico Hospitals.
Monitoring someone’s vital signs
and providing care while performing
a trail carry-out is difficult. Often,
it is dark and cold. Patients are
strapped into the litter (a stretcher
with one large tire on the bottom
made specifically for wilderness
evacuations) with a harness, wearing a helmet and
usually bundled in a sleeping bag to keep warm. Trails
can be steep and narrow, equipment is limited and
getting the patient out of the mountains quickly and
efficiently is a high priority.
During a March 2014 rescue mission in the Sandia
Mountains, time was of the essence because the
patient was in critical condition. Due to high winds,
the first helicopter evacuation was unsuccessful, and
the team began a trail carry-out. As the patient’s status
continued to deteriorate, there was a second attempt
at a helicopter evacuation. The winds continued to
rage, but the experienced pilot was able to land in the
foothills. My Ha, a fellow student, was the flight nurse
on the helicopter. My and Erin had worked together
during their core graduate classes, with My enrolled in
the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner concentration and
Erin in the Family Nurse Practitioner concentration. Erin
stated, “It was a pleasant surprise to see her get out of
the helicopter and come on scene.” Erin helped My load
the patient into the helicopter and off they went.
Erin enjoys participating in the evolution of the nursing
profession and collaborating with others. It is her goal
to provide skilled and compassionate care, whatever
the setting may be. Patient outcomes are always on her
mind, even in the midst of a technical rope rescue.
