The grant makes it possible for any nurse in Nebraska to earn<\/p>\n<p>a degree at home through computer technology and emphasizes recruiting<\/p>\n<p>students from rural areas and those from diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Innovative features of the grant will help overcome some of the obstacles<\/p>\n<p>that prevent nurses from earning higher degrees, including time and distance<\/p>\n<p>barriers.<\/p>\n<p>The three masters degrees available through the grant are: community<\/p>\n<p>health nursing; nursing administration; and nursing informatics. The programs<\/p>\n<p>prepare nurses to work in partnership with health facilities or community<\/p>\n<p>organizations to help identify a community&#8217;s priority health needs, who<\/p>\n<p>can impact health policy, recommend priority health programs, and support<\/p>\n<p>partnerships to develop programs and services.<\/p>\n<p>Students enrolled in the program can earn the degree in their home using<\/p>\n<p>a combination of coursework on the Internet, desktop videoconferencing,<\/p>\n<p>e-mail, interactive television, and audio conferences. The technology will<\/p>\n<p>allow students to take tests, do presentations, and participate in discussions<\/p>\n<p>with students and professors without going to campus. One of 24 students<\/p>\n<p>currently enrolled part-time in the program is Rebecca Davis.<\/p>\n<p>This degree will enhance my ability to provide nursing leadership and<\/p>\n<p>skills in community health, as well as attain my goal of an advanced practice<\/p>\n<p>degree, said Davis, who works at Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital in Hastings.<\/p>\n<p>Obtaining this degree is different because I wont have to attend class<\/p>\n<p>at UNMC. I enjoy the freedom to access my `learning space at my convenience<\/p>\n<p>in my own home.<\/p>\n<p>The knowledge and skills graduates will bring to Nebraska communities<\/p>\n<p>are critical to addressing Nebraskas health challenges, say UNMC College<\/p>\n<p>of Nursing faculty members Bevely Hays, Ph.D., and Donna Westmoreland,<\/p>\n<p>Ph.D., co?project directors of the grant.<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska communities are in need of health-care professionals with<\/p>\n<p>these skills,&#8221; said Dr. Hays, director of the curriculum project and UNMC<\/p>\n<p>associate professor of nursing.<\/p>\n<p>One of the goals of the grant is to recruit nurses from rural areas<\/p>\n<p>and also those from culturally-diverse backgrounds who intend to practice<\/p>\n<p>in rural, medically underserved communities. The curriculum also will stress<\/p>\n<p>cultural competency knowledge for faculty and students, and introduce minority<\/p>\n<p>and disadvantaged youth to nursing as a potential career. Cultural competency<\/p>\n<p>gives students knowledge to deliver care with the patients cultural values,<\/p>\n<p>beliefs and practices in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Hudson, vice president of nursing at the Great Plains Regional<\/p>\n<p>Medical Center in North Platte said she currently employs one nurse informatics<\/p>\n<p>specialist and hopes to hire another in March. Online documentation of<\/p>\n<p>patient care has become increasingly important, she said. Theres a need<\/p>\n<p>for tailoring computerized systems that enable health providers to get<\/p>\n<p>the right information when they need it, as well as enable them to make<\/p>\n<p>decisions on a care plan for the patient. It benefits the patient because<\/p>\n<p>they dont have to repeat health information over and over.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hays said during the next three years, she wants to recruit, enroll<\/p>\n<p>and retain 67 new graduate students in the program. Twenty-three students<\/p>\n<p>across Nebraska currently are enrolled under the new grant. The program<\/p>\n<p>can take two years to complete on a full-time basis or three and a half<\/p>\n<p>to four years part-time.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hays said programs like this are helpful to Nebraskas health care<\/p>\n<p>delivery systems which are being stressed by a number of factors, including:<\/p>\n<p>the farm crisis which has increased the number of uninsured; increasing<\/p>\n<p>ethnic diversity, particularly around meatpacking plants relocating from<\/p>\n<p>Omaha to rural areas; increasing elderly population with chronic health<\/p>\n<p>problems; substantial shifts in patterns of rural health care funding;<\/p>\n<p>and increasing demands to use data and deliver the health care needed by<\/p>\n<p>rural Nebraskans.<\/p>\n<p>In Nebraska, changes in reimbursement guidelines have resulted in both<\/p>\n<p>demands and opportunities in health care, said Dr. Westmoreland. In order<\/p>\n<p>to maintain financial solvency, both community-based and traditional health<\/p>\n<p>facilities must alter their operations, form new and unfamiliar coalitions<\/p>\n<p>and revise their services to meet health needs. Nurse leadership is needed<\/p>\n<p>to ensure that patient needs are met as delivery systems change.<\/p>\n<p>The title of the grant is Community Health Nursing, Nursing Administration<\/p>\n<p>and Nursing Informatics Distributive Education for Rural Nurses. It is<\/p>\n<p>an expansion of a grant for the Health Systems Nurse Specialist masters<\/p>\n<p>degree program which began in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the program, call (402) 559-6375 or bhays@unmc.edu<\/p>\n<p>or go to: www.unmc.edu\/HSNS\/ for information about the program.<\/p>\n<p>The following is a list of the students, by hometown, enrolled in the<\/p>\n<p>program under the new grant:<\/p>\n<p>BEATRICE &#8212; Patricia Hortman<\/p>\n<p>FREMONT &#8212; Georgia Felt<\/p>\n<p>HASTINGS  Rebecca Davis<\/p>\n<p>HOOPER &#8212; Jane Langemeier<\/p>\n<p>LINCOLN &#8212; Todd Berger, Sally Frohn, Angela Herbert, Kristin Kreikemeier,<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Orth, Sherry Reilly and Heidi Widicker<\/p>\n<p>MILBURN &#8212; Teresa Patrick<\/p>\n<p>NORTH PLATTE &#8212; Jean Carstensen, Nancy Hudson and Shirleen Smith<\/p>\n<p>OMAHA &#8212; Bryan Gall, Teresa Kalkowski, Eileen Keenan, Sharon Kochanowicz,<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Lehn, and Ward Siert<\/p>\n<p>ST.
