Duke University School of Nursing is celebrating a historic milestone for nursing leadership globally. Six nurse experts from Rwanda have graduated with their Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degrees and are the first known DNP graduates in Rwanda and on the African continent.
When preparing to become an acute care nurse practitioner in rural Appalachia, Luke Velickoff encountered the problem that would eventually become the focus of their PhD research at Duke University School of Nursing: a lack of resources outlining best practice guidelines for the care of transgender and gender-expansive (TGE) persons during critical illness, complex disease states, or following invasive medical procedures.
