This spring, the School of Nursing hosted two cohorts of doctoral students in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program. The cohort was on campus to present their doctoral scholarly project proposals, and are expected to be back on campus to present their final scholarly projects in the spring of 2016.
Five students presented their project proposals and 13 students presented their topic ideas. The five students presenting project proposals are:
- Cherno Bah. “The Development and Implementation of a Glycemic Management Protocol for Adult Diabetic and Pre-diabetic Patients at a Large Psychiatric Hospital”
- Pamela Fields. “Prehabilitation: Impacts on Post-operative Outcomes”
- Andrea Lambe. “Facilitating the Sustainability of Health Behaviors in the Phase III Cardiac Rehabilitation Population”
- Claudia Miewald. “Process Evaluation on Crisis Center Implementation”
- Jennifer Palagi. “Faith Community Nurse Care Transitions Intervention Feasibility Project”
These five students are eligible for graduation in May 2016 after successful presentation of their final projects next spring. They will be the first cohort of Doctor of Nursing Practice students to complete the program, which began in fall 2013.
