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 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.

AACN Nightingale Scholarship Awarded to Haynie The Albuquerque chapter of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), in partnership with the New Mexico Center for Nursing Excellence, announced Dr. Keith Haynie, Assistant Professor, as the first recipient of the AACN Nightingale Scholarship of $1,000. The scholarship is in recognition of his past and future contributions to critical care nursing. 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. Cohen Selected as Institute of Medicine Nurse Scholar-inResidence Dr. Sally S. Cohen, Associate Professor, has been chosen as the 2014–2015 Distinguished Nurse Scholar-in-Residence at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. As a scholar-in-residence, Cohen will work on child health policy, an area in which she has made significant contributions, as evidenced through the publication of her research in peer-reviewed journals, as well as her book, Championing Child Care, in which she analyzed three decades of national child care policies and politics. 2014-2016 Medical Education Scholars Named Mary Wright, Principal Lecturer II, was recently chosen to participate in the upcoming Medical Education Scholars (MES) program, sponsored by the UNM School of Medicine’s Office of Education and Office for Medical Educator Development. As they begin their scholarly quest, Wright will join 12 other successful members who will form the 2014-2016 MES cohort. 100% Pass Rate for PNP and ACNP Grads Congratulations to the summer 2013 Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner graduates for their 100% pass rate on their certifications! Dr. Duphorne’s Retirement After 40 years of service to the UNM College of Nursing, Dr. Patsy Duphorne retired September 1, 2014. Parshall to Be Inducted as a Fellow of the AAN Dr. Mark Parshall, Associate Professor, will be inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN). FAAN membership is awarded by invitation as recognition of outstanding accomplishments within the nursing profession and to health care. Selection criteria include evidence of significant contributions to nursing and health care and sponsorship by two current Academy Fellows. Applicants are reviewed by a panel composed of elected and appointed Fellows, and selection is based, in part, on the extent the nominee’s nursing career has influenced health policies and the health and well-being of all. – continued UNM COLLEGE OF NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2014 / 3 YEAR IN REVIEW Global Health Experience Reunion For the past five years, Dr. Judith Harris has been taking nursing students to Bolivia or Kenya, partnering with Project Helping Hands to offer our students the opportunity to travel abroad and apply their skills. Dr. Harris brought together the Global Health Experience alumni on April 15th to reminisce and learn more about the Judith Harris Global Health Endowment. Started by Dr. Harris in 2011, the endowment will help cover the costs involved for our students who participate in this experience. Dr. Harris hopes that eventually cost will not be a barrier in giving our students the opportunity to turn the world into their classroom. $1.6 Million to Expand Nurse Practitioner Program Governor Martinez asked the New Mexico Legislature for, and received, $1.6 million to add 24 additional nurse practitioner training slots, adding family and pediatric nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives to the state’s health care workforce. Morton Honored with Excellence Award Nancy A. Morton, Clinical Educator II, received the Excellence in Education/ Research/Academia Award at the 2013 New Mexico Nursing Excellence Awards Nov. 2 at the Hyatt Tamaya Resort. A total of 22 nurses, five retired nurses, one nursing student and one individual were honored at the event. A nurse for 36 years, Morton is the Director of the Undergraduate Program at the UNM College of Nursing. one of 100 Alumni Transformers in Nursing and Healthcare as part of their 100th anniversary celebration.

More faculty, more advisors and more student services personnel need to be hired. We’d like you to meet the newest members of the Student Services Team. These are three fantastic ladies who come with a wealth of experience to help our students progress into exceptional nurses and amazing alumni. Nissane Capps Nissane Capps, Senior Academic Advisor, has been an advisor at the University of New Mexico for 7 years. She began her career at the College of Arts and Sciences. HIGH-TECH SIMULATION A GROWING PART OF NURSING STUDENT EXPERIENCE higher in nursing, and the students are more focused,” says Capps. She finds working with this professional population very rewarding. Quena Echeverri-Gonzales An Academic Advisor for the College of Nursing, Quena Echeverri-Gonzales does advising and recruitment for the MSN program. More specifically, she is working with Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner and Nurse-Midwifery students. Prior to coming to the College, she worked in various capacities at UNM for the past 10 years, most recently with the College Enrichment and Outreach Program under Student Affairs. EcheverriGonzales enjoys working with the students and learning about the profession of nursing. Kelsey Higgins Kelsey Higgins, Quena Echeverri-Gonzales, Nissane Capps Eventually, she moved over to the School of Medicine before joining the College of Nursing. She is primarily in charge of advisement for the RN to BSN program. Having always loved advising, Capps likes the fast pace and changing dynamics of nursing. “The stakes are In July of this year, Kelsey Higgins began working as a Financial Aid Officer for the College of Nursing. She works, part-time, alongside Ana Vigil, awarding students financial aid, loans, grants and scholarships based on qualifications. Originally from New Mexico, she moved to Arizona, where she also worked in financial aid. Knowing she wanted to return home, she immediately looked for a position where she could continue the work that she loves and was able to join the UNM College of Nursing Student Services team. When asked what she likes about her job, she says she likes working with the students and she has always wanted to help people. BY CINDY FOSTER T 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.” – continued 6 / UNM COLLEGE OF NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2014 UNM COLLEGE OF NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2014 / 7 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. – continued 8 / UNM COLLEGE OF NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2014 UNM COLLEGE OF NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2014 / 9 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. 10 / UNM COLLEGE OF NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2014 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.” – continued UNM COLLEGE OF NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2014 / 11 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,” 12 / UNM COLLEGE OF NURSING ANNUAL REPORT 2014 FACULTY PUBLICATIONS-JULY 2013 TO JUNE 2014 Journal Articles American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2014, 68, 194-202 INGRID HENDRIX AND COLLEAGUES Journal of Environmental and Public Health, 2014, Article ID 321604 EMILY HAOZOUS AND COLLEAGUES “Effects of Partnerships Between People With Mobility Challenges and Service Dogs” “Blood Politics, Ethnic Identity, and Racial Misclassification Among American Indians and Alaska Natives” American Journal of Public Health, 2013, 103(12), e15-e29 EMILY HAOZOUS AND COLLEAGUES Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health, 2014, 59(3), 237-245 KIM COX “Shared Decision-Making for Cancer Care Among Racial and Ethnic Minorities: A Systematic Review” “Counseling Women With a Previous Cesarean Delivery: Toward a Shared Decision-Making Partnership” Behavioral Sleep Medicine, 2014, 2(3), 183-197 BETH RODGERS Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing, 2013, 42(3), 311-320 EMILY HAOZOUS AND COLLEAGUES “Breaking Through Limbo: Experiences of Adults Living With Obstructive Sleep Apnea” Diabetes Spectrum, 2014, 27(3), 197-206 ANN CAUDELL AND COLLEAGUES Carolyn Montoya, who continues to treat pediatric patients in addition to meeting her busy administrative responsibilities in the College of Nursing, says becoming a nurse practitioner “is the best decision I ever made.” “Best Practices for Interdisciplinary Care Management by Hospital Glycemic Teams: Results of a Society of Hospital Medicine Survey Among 19 U.S. Hospitals” Disability & Rehabilitation, 2014, doi: 10.3109/09638288.2014.881565 KIM COX AND COLLEAGUES 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. “A Comprehensive Assessment of Family Caregivers of Stroke Survivors During Inpatient Rehabilitation” In small towns, she says, practitioners get to know their patients outside of the clinic. “It’s a very unique relationship,” she says, “very different from an urban setting.” “Allan Houser, Reflections on My Grandfather” But for Montoya and others, the work is its own reward. “My mind is engaged 110 percent when I’m in clinical,” she says. “When I’ve had a tough day here, I go and see my little babies.

Help translate classroom learning into real-life practice. Contact Robyn Mintz at [email protected] or call (505) 272-1184 / 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.
