In honor of National Nurses Week, I reflect on how the profession of nursing has changed from when I first graduated with a BSN degree in the early 70s. Today, we see nurses delivering patient care in a variety of settings, serving communities around the world, engaged in patient-focused research, and managing large health care systems and government organizations.

Drs. Janet Prvu Bettger and Frank Titch have been selected as DUSON Teaching Fellows for 2013-2014. The Teaching Fellowship program at DUSON recognizes the importance of teaching, advances the pedagogical expertise of faculty, and provides opportunities for select faculty to continually develop that expertise in ways that will have a significant impact on the practice and science of nursing education.

The priority deadline for the Spring 2014 term is June 1, 2013. All completed applications that are received on or before June 1 are guaranteed to be reviewed by the admissions committee. Any applications that are submitted after June 1 will be reviewed on a “space-available” basis. To ensure that your application is considered for admission, please submit your application, fee, and all required documentation before June 1.
