Watch Graduation Live!

Congratulations to all of the students who will participate in graduation exercises on Sunday, May 13, at 5 p.m.

The graduation will be held at the Duke University Chapel located at 401 Chapel Drive in Durham, N.C. Refreshments will be served immediately following the ceremony.

Sue Schneider, PhD, RN, AOCN, ACNS-BC, FAAN, associate professor at Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) was recently appointed to the Biden Cancer Initiative board of directors, along with other experts in healthcare, business, finance and technology.

Currently in the United States, one in five adults have experienced a behavioral health disorder according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Unfortunately, access to mental and behavioral health care in many rural parts of the U.S. is simply unavailable due to a national shortage of mental health professionals. Patients in these rural areas may not know where to seek help and may worry about the stigma attached to seeking mental health care.

If you were studying to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) at Duke University School of Nurse Anesthesia in the 1970s, your experience was totally different from the experience that students today are having.

Things like automatically inflating blood pressure cuffs, finger oxygen monitors and simulation labs were not yet readily available, and your cohort of about 16 students would have attended classes in a small building near the VA Hospital since, at the time, Duke North didn’t exist.
