Advanced Public Health Nursing DNP student, Jazmine Lampkin, RN, shares her experience and impact in the world of public health nursing with the help of her Rush community.

“As a bedside nurse, I’d treat the patient in the moment, but I'm also thinking there must be something that can be done on a larger scale to prevent people from being here, from getting to this point,” she says. “And that's the importance of public health. It's teaching people how to take care of themselves in a way that will prevent them from getting chronic illnesses down the line.”

Rush Medical College M1s received their white coats and recited the Hippocratic Oath at Saturday’s White Coat Ceremony. Surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated one of the first milestones in their medical careers.

“This white coat is the next step in accomplishing my dreams, which is to leave the world a better place than when I came into it,” Kylie Finkelstein says. “I will be a very happy person if I can even help just one person.”

What started as a student project is now helping save lives.

The Stop the Bleed Kit initiative began several years ago at Rush University College of Nursing as a capstone project developed by Generalist Entry Master’s students who also worked as paramedics. Recently, Rush Oak Park Hospital’s emergency department team used a kit to help save the life of a person with a gunshot wound.

It was a call he never expected to receive.

Nearly 10 years ago, Rush Medical College student Seth Adler swabbed the inside of his mouth and joined the Gift of Life Marrow Registry to help save someone's life. Just last year, he found out he was a match for a 78-year-old male with leukemia.

Adler is sharing his experience and calling on others to be someone's match.

"I do want to emphasize how important stem cells [or bone marrow] are. If someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, and chemotherapy or surgery fails, this donation is their last treatment option," he says.

Everyday tasks like paying for groceries, catching the bus or caring for a pet can become challenging after an illness or injury. To help patients regain these important skills, students in Rush University's Occupational Therapy Doctorate program are creating occupation kits that let patients practice these activities as they recover.

“The partnership between OTD and the Rush Specialty Hospital is huge,” says Sarah Czyszczon, a second-year OTD student. “Not only does it benefit the patients by giving them additional practice with real-life occupations, but it is so heartwarming for us students to know we are helping.”
