Pam Strohfus, associate professor and coordinator for the Doctor of Nursing Practice program and Becky Bunderson, director for the College of Health Sciences Simulation Center, were two of the many recognized at the dinner. Strohfus received the Outstanding Nurse Leader in Education Award, while Bunderson was nominated for the Outstanding Nurse Leader in Innovation Award.<\/p>\n<p>Strohfus, has been the coordinator for the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program for the last five years. The Outstanding Nurse Leader in Education Award reflects Strohfus\u2019 education, administrative, research, and practice career. Pamela Gehrke, associate professor for the School of Nursing, by whom Strohfus was nominated, believed Strohfus\u2019 work deserved such recognition as she portrayed all of the criteria for the award. The award criteria asked for a nominee that \u201cdemonstrates competence in promoting evidence based practice, scholarly activities to prepare future nursing professionals and improve general health of citizens, and demonstrates a level of commitment to the nursing profession beyond the daily operation of their employment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe collaborative leadership style used by Dr. Strohfus enables faculty and staff to provide transformational education in the doctoral program.\u201d said Gehrke. \u201cBy that I mean, faculty are empowered to design and enact innovative courses to stimulate students to think and act to promote health in the populations they serve. Staff are empowered to creatively identify program improvements, ways to communicate with students, and to serve them. Students see a change in their view of nursing and are empowered to go forward and act as leaders in policy, practice, and scholarly endeavors in their own communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bunderson, who has worked as the director of the College of Health Sciences Simulation Center the last seven years was nominated by School of Nursing Director Ann Hubbert who sees Bunderson portraying all the criteria for the award. Bunderson, \u201cdemonstrates competence in evidence based practice, interdisciplinary teamwork, collaborative learning and leadership. She is recognized as a positive role-model by leaders and interdisciplinary colleagues in their organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecky is nationally recognized in simulation education for her out of the box thinking and innovative problem solving which propelled the Boise State Simulation Center into the national and international spotlight.\u201d said Hubbert. \u201cWhen the simulation center opened in 2010, Becky was at the helm. She began work on the two year process to get the center internationally accredited by the Society for Simulation Healthcare. In 2013 the simulation center was accredited and remains only one of a handful of accredited centers in the world without an affiliation to a hospital or medical school. The Society for Simulation in Healthcare has since adopted Becky\u2019s original reporting method as a standard for all accreditation and training.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70082\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-image wp-image--caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70082 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/109\/2017\/12\/Jody-and-Pam-Stro-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Pam Strohfus and Jody Acheson Present their awards\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\" style=\"width: 300px\">Jody Acheson and Pam Strohfus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to these nominees, Jody Acheson, a current student in Boise State\u2019s Doctor of Nursing Practice program and Hematologic Malignancies Program Manager at St. Luke\u2019s Mountain States Tumor Institute received the Aspiring Clinical Nurse Leader Award. The criteria asked for a nominee that \u201cdemonstrates emerging leadership skills in a leadership position in a clinical practice that has made a positive contribution to patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acheson\u2019s colleagues testified to her dedication to quality patient care in their nomination letter: \u201cJody is an outstanding manager who believes in improving systems to make it safer and better for patients. She strives for excellence in everything she does. Not only is she supportive of staff, she has integrity and respects her staff. She has extreme compassion for patient success, as seen in her additional role as quality manager.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJody&#8217;s knowledge and expertise as a clinical leader along with her passion to improve the quality of her patients&#8217; care in marrow transplantation made her an excellent choice for our Doctor of Nursing Practice program,\u201d said Strohfus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boise State University is proud to announce and recognize two members of the School of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4072,4071],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cohs-news","category-son-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) -
