VU MSN Alumni, Danika Degroot, published her thesis research along with her advisor, Dr. Annette Callis, Director of Graduate Nursing in the Dec 2022 issue of the Journal of Emergency Nursing. This study provides meaningful evidence that role delineation in patient arrest situations increased effectiveness in code teamwork and therefore has the potential to improve patient care outcomes if implemented as a practice standard.
Congratulations Danika!

Congratulations to one of our August 2022 MSN alumni, Deborah Yoon RN, MSN, OCN, Oncology Nurse Navigator at St Jude Crosson Cancer Institute. Deborah's abstract, "Infusion Nurses’ Personal Protective Equipment Use While Handling Chemotherapy Drugs," has been accepted for a podium presentation at the Western Institute of Nursing’s 56th Annual Communicating Nursing Research Conference in April 2023. Here is her photo with her advisor and Director of Graduate Nursing Programs, Dr Annette Callis.

I had the privilege of presenting our research on the Impact of Moral Injury on Self-reported Work Performance in Nurses at CACNS (California Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists) Conference this month held at the University of San Diego. This provides excellent evidence for the continued development of Care Programs for Nurses in an effort to support Nurse Well-being and promote optimal patient care outcomes.
Dr. Annette Callis, PhD, RN, CNS

2022 Pre-Licensure graduates working together!

How do I know which specialty I should go into? 🤔
Which nursing role could I thrive in?💪
What types of personalities do well in each nursing role? 😎🤓🥰

I get these questions ALL THE TIME!
You want to know my summary of the entire episode?
Be honest with yourself about what types of situations and environments you thrive in and let that guide your decision. Don’t chose a nursing specialty based off of the cool factor… because doing “cool” stuff will only make you happy for so long. There is so much more that makes up job satisfaction!
What type of nurse are you and what do you love and/or what makes this role the most challenging?
