The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing has received<\/p>\n

a two-year, $580,000 continuation grant from the U.S. Department of Health<\/p>\n

and Human Services to recruit more rural nurses into a masters degree<\/p>\n

that prepares nurses as leaders. The grant makes it possible for more nurses<\/p>\n

in Nebraska to earn a masters degree at home through distance education<\/p>\n

technology. It also emphasizes recruiting students from rural areas and<\/p>\n

those from diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n

The grant expands the Health Systems Nurse Specialist masters degree<\/p>\n

specialty which began in 1996. It offers three specialty areas that prepare<\/p>\n

nurses for leadership roles in community-public health nursing, nursing<\/p>\n

administration, or nursing informatics.<\/p>\n

The rapidly changing health-care system is creating a pressing need<\/p>\n

for nurses with advanced knowledge and skills to help transform nursing<\/p>\n

and health care in communities and health-care organizations, said Donna<\/p>\n

Westmoreland, Ph.D., associate professor, UNMC College of Nursing and grant<\/p>\n

project director. Were preparing nurses to provide leadership in addressing<\/p>\n

urgent health-care problems, including patient safety, access to care for<\/p>\n

minorities and the underserved and the nursing shortage.<\/p>\n

This degree also teaches nurses the collaboration, research and information<\/p>\n

technology skills they need to be effective leaders in todays turbulent<\/p>\n

health care environment.<\/p>\n

Dr. Westmoreland said during the next two years, the goal is to recruit,<\/p>\n

enroll and retain new graduate students. Fifty-four students currently<\/p>\n

are enrolled, including students in Nebraska, Michigan, South Dakota, Iowa<\/p>\n

and Japan. Twenty-six students have graduated to date.<\/p>\n

We have graduates in key positions throughout the state. While students<\/p>\n

are enrolled, they work on projects that have immediate impact on their<\/p>\n

organization or a community health issue, she said. Faculty also work<\/p>\n

with students to help them develop skills based on their individual career<\/p>\n

goals. The knowledge and skills graduates will bring to Nebraska communities<\/p>\n

are critical to addressing Nebraskas health challenges.<\/p>\n

Innovative features of the grant reduce obstacles that may prevent nurses<\/p>\n

from earning higher degrees, including time and distance barriers. Students<\/p>\n

can earn the degree in their home using a combination of coursework on<\/p>\n

the Internet, e-mail, interactive television, and audio conferences.<\/p>\n

The technology allows students to access state-of-the-art health-care<\/p>\n

information, to take tests, make presentations, and participate in discussions<\/p>\n

with students and professors without going to a campus.<\/p>\n

Dr. Westmoreland said the nursing informatics specialty is the first<\/p>\n

and only one in Nebraska. She said it is important because informatics<\/p>\n

nurse specialists work with information technology specialists to design<\/p>\n

electronic documentation of patient information.<\/p>\n

Electronic documentation of information helps reduce errors, she said.<\/p>\n

It enables health providers to get the right information in a timely manner<\/p>\n

and helps them to make better patient care decisions.<\/p>\n

One of the goals of the grant is to recruit nurses from rural areas<\/p>\n

who intend to practice in rural, medically underserved communities. The<\/p>\n

curriculum<\/p>\n

also stresses cultural competency for faculty and students, and introduces<\/p>\n

minority and disadvantaged youth to nursing as a potential career.<\/p>\n

Michelle Ellermeier, of Minden, is one of the students enrolled in one<\/p>\n

of the specialty degrees. She works as an evening house supervisor and<\/p>\n

infection control coordinator for the Perkins Pavilion, Good Samaritan<\/p>\n

Village in Hastings, a 196-bed nursing facility.<\/p>\n

From the start, Ive been consistently challenged and expanded my knowledge<\/p>\n

and understanding of health-care systems, management and the role of the<\/p>\n

nurse, Ellermeier said. I have developed and led educational in-services<\/p>\n

at my facility on pain management, helping our caregivers share and learn<\/p>\n

how to better evaluate and treat our residents pain. It also has given<\/p>\n

me a better understanding of health care financial management; and in this<\/p>\n

era of decreasing Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, I find these lessons<\/p>\n

crucial. Leadership is extraordinarily challenging in a time of cost-cutting,<\/p>\n

and having the ability to incorporate the concepts of employee empowerment<\/p>\n

and systems thinking into our day-to-day workplace has helped to improve<\/p>\n

our employees job satisfaction and increase efficiency.<\/p>\n

She said distance technology tools have allowed her to pursue the degree.<\/p>\n

Distance learning and the Internet has made it possible for me to be enrolled,<\/p>\n

not just convenient, Ellermeier said.<\/p>\n
