      <image:caption>Lorne Carroll grew up south of Kansas City, Missouri, and spent much of his childhood riding his bike on gravel roads, exploring the woods, and spending chunks of summer on his grandparents’ farm. Rural life set the stage for his connection to natural surroundings, family, neighbors, and friends. He started his professional healthcare journey in 1997 as a Firefighter/EMT, then entered Public Health Nursing in 2004 after receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing in 2002. Two years later, and after a stent of international travel and home remodeling in Kansas City he settled into his first Public Health Nursing position with the Kansas City Health Department in Missouri. While not born in Alaska, he arrived as soon as he could in 2009 after accepting a job offer from Norton Sound Health Corporation. Relocating for this Tribal healthcare position focusing on tuberculosis allowed Lorne to settle back into patterns of connection with the natural environment, neighbors, and friends. For several years he lived 13 miles north of Nome, Alaska, in a small cabin without running water or electricity near Bear Mountain. Lorne is a Johns Hopkins fellow with the Bloomberg American Health Initiative and was chosen to be an American Journal of Public Health Think Tank member in 2021. He completed an MPH at Johns Hopkins in 2023 and is a Past President of the Alaska Public Health Association. These days you can find Lorne in Homer working as a Public Health Nurse for the State of Alaska or just outside of Homer walking or skiing the 1.6-mile trail into his cabin where he lives.</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Podcast - A Nurse Focused Podcast - Dr. Shannon N. Zenk - Dr. Shannon N. Zenk, Ph.D., MPH, RN, FAAN</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shannon N. Zenk, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN is the Director of the National Institute of Nursing Research. Dr. Zenk was previously a Nursing Collegiate Professor in the Department of Population Health Nursing Science at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Nursing, and a fellow at the UIC Institute for Health Research and Policy. Dr. Zenk was elected as a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing in 2013, received the President’s Award from the Friends of the National Institute of Nursing Research in 2018, was inducted into the International Nurse Researchers Hall of Fame in 2019, and elected as a member of the National Academy of Medicine in 2021. She has spent time as a visiting scholar in Rwanda and Australia. She earned her bachelor’s in nursing, magna cum laude, from Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington; her master’s degrees in public health nursing and community health sciences from UIC; and her doctorate in health behavior and health education from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her predoctoral training was in psychosocial factors in mental health and illness, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Her dissertation examined racial and socioeconomic inequities in food access in metropolitan Detroit. She completed postdoctoral training in UIC’s Institute for Health Research and Policy’s Cancer Education and Career Development Program, funded by the National Cancer Institute, in 2006. Dr. Zenk’s own research has focused on social inequities and health with a goal of identifying effective, multilevel approaches to improve health and eliminate racial/ethnic and socioeconomic health disparities. Her research portfolio has included NIH-supported work into urban food environments, community health solutions and veterans’ health. Through pioneering research on the built environment and food deserts, Dr. Zenk and her colleagues increased national attention to the problem of inadequate access to healthful foods in low-income and Black neighborhoods. They have since examined the role of community environments in health and health disparities. Recognizing that restricting empirical attention to the communities where people live and not the other communities where they spend time may misdirect interventions, Dr. Zenk led early research adopting GPS tracking to study broader “activity space” environments in relation to health behaviors. She and her colleagues have also evaluated whether the effectiveness of behavioral interventions differs depending on environmental context and, most recently, how environmental and personal factors interact to affect health. This work has leveraged a variety of technologies and emerging data resources such as electronic health records. Energy balance-related behaviors and conditions have been a major focus.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Dr. Daihnia Dunkley, also known as "Dr. D" is originally from Jamaica, and has resided in New York since the early 90s. In the span of her nursing career, Dr. Dunkley has worked extensively in the arena of maternal-child health in hospital and community healthcare, and in academia. She is currently serving in a full time academic role as a lecturer in the Graduate Entry Pre-Specialty in Nursing (GEPN) and Masters of Science in Nursing programs at Yale School of Nursing. She earned a Bachelors degree in nursing from Hampton University, and her Masters and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of Phoenix. Early in her career, Dr. D became aware of the disparities within the healthcare system and their impact on practitioners and patients, especially those of color. As she transitioned from bedside nursing to administrative roles, she began to understand factors contributing to these issues, which include a lack of diverse representation in the healthcare workforce, systemic racism, and patient mistrust and avoidance of the healthcare system. Her dissertation research on the experiences of Black female executive nurse leaders created the inspiration for founding The League of Extraordinary Black Nurses; a nonprofit nursing organization aimed at supporting current and future Black nurses through the guiding principles of leadership, mentorship, and scholarship. Additionally, through her newly formed consulting company, Daihnia’s Joy, she applies strategy to passion in her efforts to diversify nursing representation, empower minority nurse leaders, and improve maternal health outcomes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Caring for Veterans and Their Families: A Guide for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals Of the approximately 20 million veterans of the U.S. armed forces, less than half utilize the Veteran's Health Administration healthcare system. In fact, about 60% receive all their health care in the private sector, where nurses and healthcare professionals may not be adequately trained in treating or caring for patients who have served in the military. This first-of-its kind book guides healthcare clinicians on how to address culturally competent care for veterans and their family members. Caring for Veterans and Their Families: A Guide for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals discusses the role of the military and veteran healthcare systems and provides insight and guidance on key topics, including defining military culture and how to apply that knowledge to provide informed treatment, transitioning from service to civilian life and the many challenges expected during re-adjustment and re-entry, recognizing and treating substance use disorders, identifying suicidal behaviors and warning signs, long-term care for elderly veterans, and many more topics unique to the health care of veterans and their families.

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Podcast - A Nurse Focused Podcast - Tribal Healthcare and the role of Public Health Nursing in Alaska - Tribal Healthcare and the role of Public Health Nursing in Alaska</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s been 11 years since I visited the great state of Alaska. But, I feel very naive as I never really thought about the challenges the people of this state, so rich in history and tradition, faced! This special episode of the RN-Mentor podcast was especially eye opening for me. As an individual with interest in indigenous and native populations it was mind boggling communities would be denied basic infrastructure for basic needs such as clean running water due to cost, lack of health services, due to geographical locations, and the logistical incredible logistical barriers faced by the tribes and communities in Alaska. However, there are incredible people and nurses fighting the odds and overcoming the challenges, and working toward keeping the population of Alaska healthy. This is public health in Alaska, this is their story… Scroll down to the bottom of the page for opportunities to work as a Public Health Nurse in this incredible state!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Dr. Paule V. Joseph is a 2019 Lasker Scholar and National Institutes of Health (NIH) Distinguished Scholar. She is Chief of the Section of Sensory Science and Metabolism (SenSMet) in Division of Intramural Clinical and Biological Research (DICBR) at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) with a dual appointment at National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). Prior to her tenure track position,  she was an Assistant Clinical Investigator at NINR.  Dr. Joseph received an AAS in Nursing at Hostos Community College, a BSN from the College of New Rochelle, and a Master of Science with a specialty as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Pace University. She completed her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and conducted her PhD work at the Monell Chemical Senses Center. She then completed a Workforce Diversity Clinical and Translational Postdoctoral Fellowship at the NINR.   The Section of Sensory Science and Metabolism (SenSMet) aims to understand neurological and molecular mechanisms underlying chemosensation (taste, smell &amp; chemesthesis) and motivational pathways of ingestive behaviors how they might be different in individuals with obesity and alcohol and substance use disorders. We are particularly interested in studying how the brain incorporates chemosensory information from the external environment and its internal states to guide eating/ingestive behavior. To achieve this goal, our laboratory conducts clinical-translational inpatient and outpatient studies. We use a combination of biobehavioral and innovative validated psychophysical methods for human studies. We also use imaging brain techniques, such as fMRI for olfaction and gustation. To provide mechanistic insight into our clinical research, we are also conducting preclinical studies using rodent models to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms that influence how the brain perceives the chemical senses (taste, smell, chemesthesis) and feeding behavior in a state of disease (e.g., obesity and substance use disorders). The SenSMet lab is currently investigating the interplay among biological and behavioral components of chemosensation in the context of diseases, with a particular emphasis on metabolic disorders like obesity and brain diseases, particularly alcohol and substance use disorders, given that both obesity and alcohol and substance use disorders share common brain mechanisms associated with the chemical senses. Besides, due to reports of taste and smell loss from individuals affected by COVID-19, our lab began investigating chemosensation and COVID-19. We are focused on understanding the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the chemical senses.   Dr. Joseph  has received several awards, including the highly competitive Johnson &amp; Johnson- American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s Minority Nurse Faculty Scholarship, the Rockefeller University Heilbrunn Nurse Scholar Award.  Last year she was selected by the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) as one of 2020’s 40 Under 40 Leaders in Minority Health and National Association of Hispanic Nurses 40 under 40 award winner.  She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine and a Fellow of the Transcultural Nursing Society. Dr. Joseph’s leadership comprises her multifaceted career combining research and clinical practice. Aside from her research at the NIH, her background as a nurse scientist and a woman of color has influenced her commitment to increase diversity in STEM related fields. Dr. Joseph is devoted to promoting diversity and decreasing health disparities. Her visionary leadership of national and global non-profits has focused on increasing the promotion of health within underserved populations and increasing diversity among the next generation of clinical and translational researchers. She currently serves as Vice-president of the Amazing Grace Children’s Foundation based in Ghana. She also mentors and trains students and junior faculty from underrepresented backgrounds. Additionally, she serves as the Director of Mentorship for the African Research Academy for Women.

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Podcast - A Nurse Focused Podcast - Dr. Jess Dillard-Wright - Dr. Jess Dillard-Wright Ph.D., MA, RN, CNM</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jess is a nurse, a midwife and has just defended her/their dissertation at Augusta University. She/they serves as director for the College of Nursing Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and as teaching faculty in the prelicensure Clinical Nurse Leader MSN program at Augusta University. Jess received her/their Bachelor of Science in Science, Technology, and Culture at Georgia Institute of Technology, her/their Master of Arts in Womxn’s History from Sarah Lawrence College, her/their Master of Nursing Science, Clinical Nurse Leader from Medical College of Georgia, and her/their Master of Science in Community-Based Nurse-Midwifery from Frontier Nursing University. She/they are a Jonas Nurse Leader Scholar alumna from cohort V and a 2020-2021 NEF scholar. Her/their doctoral studies combine her/their love for feminist thought, philosophy of science, and history with her/their passion for nursing. Prior to her/their doctoral studies, Jess worked in emergency, trauma critical care, and trauma case management at Augusta University, the region’s only level one trauma center. This afforded her/them a deep understanding of the healthcare system including the faults and fissures that create and reinforce inequality in health. Lessons learned in the clinical setting animate Jess’s ongoing scholarship, which focuses on the epistemological and ontological dimensions of nursing, exploring how the past shapes our present and how the present influences what we understand about the past. Jess’s dissertation study is titled “Cassandra Radical Feminist Nurses Network: Feminism, Nursing, and a History of the Present,” a little-known but powerful collective of activist nurses that resisted heteropatriarchal norms in nursing, creating space for woman-identified community. Her/their scholarship has been published in Nursing Philosophy and Advances in Nursing Science.  Outside her/their doctoral studies and professional roles, Jess is involved in many different endeavors and actions. Jess is an active member of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Working Group. She/they is one of the organizers of Radical Nurses Collective, a founding member of the Nursology Theory Collective, an organizer with the start-up Nursing Mutual Aid, and a tentacle of an activist-scholar syndicate, the Compost Collaborative. Jess is also a contributor to Nursology.net and an active member of the American Association of History of Nursing Diversity and Inclusion Committee.As she/they completes her/their doctoral studies, Jess aspires to continue pursuing the emancipatory scholarship that inspires her/them, seeking out interdisciplinary collaboration, counterhegemonic ways of knowing, and advancing health equity. Jess sees the incredible power of nursing to transform health and healthcare and is committed to envisioning and then building a more just, equitable future for nursing, healthcare, communities, and the world, through educating future nurses and scholarly work that creates new possibilities, new presents. When she/they is not thinking about nursing, you’ll find Jess hanging out with her/their three kids and wife. Together, they like to go to the beach, play silly games (may we humbly suggest Throw Throw Burrito?), read books, and *try* to bake amazing things.</image:caption>

Since then, Sheena has coached and mentored nurses, physicians, healthcare professionals and educators in this emerging leadership lens and consulted on the operationalization of love-led leadership in a variety of organizations.  Sheena specializes in the primary care and mental health of marginalized families and individuals particularly trans-identified, gender queer, LGBTQ2S+ people and women, youth and children with ADHD and mental illness.

The hallmarks of Sheena’s work are advocacy, curiosity, pattern seeking and human connection. She has devoted her entire nursing career to sitting with thousands of people across the age and gender spectrum while they share their fears, losses, traumas, joys and wild hopes. She has seen humans at their most vulnerable and believes that her work in caring for humans is love made visible. She has experienced the positive power of love-led leadership in action and experienced devastating effects when it is absent. She never wants to see that again. Sheena has used The be LOVE-LED™ Blueprint to help herself and others overcome the paralyzing fear of imposter syndrome, recover from burnout and thrive in life and work. Sheena wants to share love-led leadership with the world and promote the use love-led leadership as the primary leadership model for healthcare and educational leaders, organizations and systems so they may be a force for positive change.

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Podcast - A Nurse Focused Podcast - Dr. Susan Hassmiller - Resetting by Dr. Susan B. Hassmiller</image:title>
      <image:caption>An Unplanned Journey of Love, Loss, and Living Again “Resetting shares the story of a personal grief journey and helps transform today’s understanding of the human condition. Although grief and loss are universal human conditions around since the beginning of time, the idea of loss is still greatly feared, ignored, distained, undiscussed, and certainly not prepared for. It is no wonder people feel alone and isolated in their feelings and thoughts when loss comes to them. Longtime nurse, Susan Beth Hassmiller, who is no stranger to death, has experienced the journeys of suffering and death in her patients as well as her personal life in which she was completely blindsided by the physical, spiritual, and emotional toll. Resetting is written in a daily diary format in which Susan opens a very private window to the actual feelings and thoughts she experienced in the grief process. Resetting is raw and gripping as it illustrates a new level of understanding of the human condition. Susan helps those who have suffered loss gain a new perception and a greater sense of grief while learning lessons on how to help those suffering from grief―from words to say to tasks to take on.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bonnie and Mark Barnes spent their careers working as advertising and marketing executives. They were retired, growing wine grapes in Sonoma, CA, and enjoying life in 1999 when Mark's son Patrick, age 33, developed the auto-immune disease, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP). Pat and his wife had given birth to the family's first grandchild 6 weeks prior to Pat's illness, so they flew to be with him and his wife. Pat's death was a terrible surprise to his family. However, the nursing care they experienced during Pat's 8-week hospitalization compelled them to express their gratitude to nurses everywhere for the clinical skill and especially compassionate care nurses provide every day. This is why The Barnes's created The DAISY Foundation (an acronym for diseases attacking the immune system) and The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Blog - Just a COG!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Just a COG! I remember as a kid watching Charlie Chaplins 1936 Movie “Modern Times”. And NO! Not when it first came out in theaters!!! Not in a too distant past, my work schedule was changed to better work for others with the consequence being more work on my plate! Having a strong sense of what is manageable for me and what isn’t, I decided to bring this issue to my leadership, in which the conversation lead really nowhere and me being left with more work and no relief. Your basic “take it or leave it”, but done with more “leadership” style and politically correct language. It was almost like the stereotypical talk you may have had with a parent; “Back in my day, I had to walk in 3 feet of snow to get to work!” or what I tell my kids now, “When I was your age, there were no cell phones or I had to turn the dial on the TV to change the channel!” Anyway, I walked away from the conversation feeling very belittled, unappreciated, and just a cog in the workplace! Thinking you’re valued for your contributions and the realization your leadership just really wants you to continue to be a “team player” (code for just do what your told and allow the abusive work environment to continue without disruption), and not make any waves or disrupt the norm is an interesting feeling and one I am familiar with. Not my first time at the rodeo as they say! Here is the twist from what I would normally do… Normally, I would say,” Here is my letter of resignation!” After I spent a couple of hours on the net looking for a new gig and sending out a couple of applications, I decided to do some soul searching and looking at why I was so upset at the circumstances (A trip to Maui didn’t hurt anything either)! I spoke to a trusted mentor and she asked me “What do you want to do Ali?” and that sent my head into a tailspin… What do I want to do??? There was anger, frustration, uncertainty, not to mention I have a family to support and my own life responsibilities! A few days ago, I had a flickering of a thought! In my own head, I suddenly asked myself, “What am I worth?” If I were to put a price on myself, what would I charge for me, my experience, my education, my talent, and what I contribute… If I have a finite number of hours per week and if I divide those hours into work (what I get paid to do), and what I want to do (professionally on my own time and dime), and family and home obligations (also my own time and dime), what would my time be worth? I need to put a dollar sign in front of anything that is extra, above and beyond! After going back and forth, taking into consideration my own salary and the amount I am paid now and have been paid prior, I came up with an hourly $$ figure that I thought I could live with. Here is the weird thing… As soon as I gave myself and my own time value, I felt a sense of relief. No longer hoping others value my work or time, but now I had a tangible idea of what my time is worth and if I am being asked to do more than what I am being paid to do! This is not to say I’m not doing anything for free. On the contrary, knowing the value of my time makes those free times I contribute more than just time. What it does do is it allows me to give my time value and it gives me choice based on my value. A value I did not feel I had before and a choice and feeling of value we do not always perceive at times when in a toxic environment! Knowing our own worth and valuing our own time can be liberating! So, nothing wrong with being a cog I guess! Just know your own value! I’ll keep you posted on how this goes…</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Blog - Academix (2.0)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Academix (2.0): What to Consider When Choosing a GRADUATE School of Nursing So, a quick recap of my blog Academix for pre-Licensure students… because some of that also matters here… Just as the entry into practice the nursing graduate programs (MSN, DNP, PhD) also have various points of entry! RN-MSN ADN-MSN ASN-MSN BSN-MSN ELMN/ MECN (for those with a bachelors degree or higher in other disciplines) ——————— BSN-DNP BSN-PhD MSN-DNP MSN-PhD Things you should have learned by choosing your initial program into nursing: Needs to be accredited. Check your State Licensing Board (Board of Registered Nursing) and whichever other body that accredits the program (ie. CCNE or NLN) It should be noted Ph.D. programs do not have a State or national governing body. Needs to provide clinical experience AND hopefully do the clinical placement for you. The other things you should look at is: National Board Certification pass rates for clinical routes (Nurse Practitioners). Hopefully its greater than 90% pass rate. Most grad schools with high pass rates will post them on their website. Look at the schools national ranking (This is an indicator of the work the program and their graduates are doing. Keep in mind private and research based universities may rank higher because of the research / publications focus, and grant funding available to faculty that supports them) CO$T! Make sure you understand the fees. RED FLAG - Schools that promise you your cost will be offset by all the loans they can get you. Do your homework and know what kind of debt you’ll have after you graduate. Most of you won’t qualify for any type of grant because you’re probably working as an RN and making a decent salary. HOWEVER, there are still scholarships and some grants out there that you do qualify for. (ie. HRSA grant if you’re planning on serving an underserved community or scholarships through various organizations.) Also don’t forget to ask what type of assistance your work will provide. (ie. tuition assistance, paid time off, contracts with schools for lower tuition…) Find out all the grants, scholarships, and free stuff (ie. books, equipment, services…) you’re eligible for. Attendance: How many days a week? Semester vs. Quarters? Self paced? Monthly? Year round? How many days a week for classes? Part time vs. full time What’s the workload in the program? Can you work? How many days a week do you have to be in clinicals How many days of in-person and/or on-line work Try and go to an open house and if possible talk to some current students! Environment Take a look at the campus: Classes, equipment, technology, simulation lab class sizes diversity in both faculty, staff, and students Majors You should do your homework on the Specialty you wish to pursue your nursing career through here is my personal bias… Education specialty is fundamental to all specialties. Especially if you’re going to do ANY teaching. So, just my opinion, a post master's certificate for Nursing Admin &amp; NP’s in Nursing Education, or an MSN in Nursing Education with a post masters in admin or a clinical NP specialty is the way to go. So what specialties are out there: Nursing Administration/ Leadership Nursing Education Informatics Gerontology Acute Primary Care Midwifery Pediatrics Nurse Anesthesia Psychiatric/ Mental Health neonatal Family Nurse Practitioner Emergency Orthopedics Clinical Nurse Specialist Nursing Informatics DNP (typically 2 years) have various routes. Some programs have a clinical specialty while others focus on executive leadership or translation of evidence into practice) Ph.D. (typically 3+ years) Research focus make sure the research you wish to do can be supported by the institution you are applying to. Some institutions will attach you to existing research, while others expect you to start from scratch! As a point, there are other programs out there, but this is most of the specialties. You may see some hybrids out there in the form of: MSN/MBA MSN/MPH MSN/MHA MSN/MPA As I’m writing the list of these specialties in Nursing, I just want to be clear, these areas are not your only choice. You have other options! What are they? Anything you want to get your Masters in and you qualify for. Just make sure your next professional move up the ladder doesn’t require you to have a Masters or Doctoral degree in NURSING! other natural moves for many Nurses MBA (This really excites many Ambulatory care orgs) MPH MPA MHA … Do your homework on the specialty you want or think you want. Shadow a person in the specialty you want to pursue. See if it’s really what you want. Although some Universities will allow you to change your specialty, NOT ALL WILL! Lastely ask what the school is looking for when they admit students and make sure you have everything checked off. Have all your prerequisites and requirements, experience, and any other hoops you have to jump through completed. For example, it is unlikely you will be accepted into a CRNA program if you have no Critical Care Experience! So know what is required (prerequisites, type of clinical experience, letters of recommendation… ), sharpen your writing skills, and plan ahead! In a couple of years you can either have a graduate degree or wishing you had started your graduate program a couple of years ago… Best of Luck!</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Blog - Academix</image:title>
      <image:caption>Academix: What to Consider When Choosing a School of Nursing (Pre-Licensure) There are varying thoughts on this topic! In some areas the profession agrees on, in other areas it’s an old west bar fight if you get the right people in the room! But I’m going to share my thoughts anyway, despite my better judgement. We’ll start with my readers that may just be looking at the profession of nursing, but have not committed and we’ll work our way to Doctoral studies in future blogs. Entry into the Profession Most professions that look at nursing must think we are out of our minds with the various ways people get into the profession of nursing. We have: Certificate or diploma programs (Not many of those left in the US and more difficult to get hired with one of these) ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing - Takes about 4 years to complete. 2 years of prerequisites and 2 year nursing program) The idea was ADN programs were going to replace Diploma, Certificate, and LVN/LPN programs… (never happened) Also keep in mind many hospitals, especially Magnet hospitals are looking for BSN prepared. Use your ADN as a jumping off point into the profession but consider a BSN or higher after… BSN (Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing 4 - 5 years to complete) Nursing has been struggling with making the BSN the minimum as entry into practice, but we realize the ADN, Diploma, &amp; Certificate programs are all opportunities to bring many out of poverty and a boost in society. ABSN (Accelerated BSN, for those with a previous bachelors or higher degree in another field - average 18 month) ELMN (Entry level Masters in Nursing - Need to have a minimum of a Bachelors in another field - about 3 years but includes a Masters degree) I think that’s it??? Oh, many of these programs are offered in person, on-line, and hybrid. Clinical time would obviously have to be in person. So, which one is the best fit for you? A few items to consider as you take this leap. A few essentials and MUST haves are: Needs to be accredited. Check your State Licensing Board (Board of Registered Nursing) and whichever other body that accredits the program (ie. CCNE or NLN) Needs to provide clinical experience. The other things you should look at is: NCLEX pass rates. (available through the State Board of Registered Nursing) Hopefully its greater than 90% pass rate first time test takers. Look at the schools national ranking (NCLEX Pass rates are a 1000X more important. This may be a better indicator of looking at Masters or Doctoral programs) CO$T! Make sure you understand the fees. RED FLAG - Schools that promise you your cost will be offset by all the loans they can get you. Do your homework and know what kind of debt you’ll have after you graduate. Find out all the grants, scholarships, and free stuff (ie. books, equipment, services…) you’re eligible for. Attendance: How many days a week? Semester vs. Quarters? Self paced? Monthly? Year round? How many days a week for classes? What’s the workload in the program? Can you work? How many days a week do you have to be in clinicals How many days of in-person and/or on-line work Try and go to an open house and if possible talk to some current students! Environment Take a look at the campus: Classes, equipment, technology, simulation lab class sizes diversity in both faculty, staff, and students Lastly, ask what the school is looking for when they admit students and make sure you have everything checked off. Have all yourprerequisites and requirements, volunteer experience, and any other hoops you have to jump throough completed. So, do you see yourself in the environment and successful. If all your spider senses are tingling than go for it……………….. and Good Luck!</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Blog - Tenure? - Tenure?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The concept of tenure has always seemed strange to me. Going into academia, I knew it would be an expectation that I go through various evaluation processes to eventually receive tenure. What I did not realize is what exactly that meant and how I would or could attain it. The strange part was it even baffled some of the people that were tenured! No one could quite tell me what I needed and how I was to obtain it. It was this vague advice of "do a lot" and "publish"!!! ‍♂️ So before I step on my own soapbox, let's talk about what is tenure? Tenure came to be in the US at some point in the 1940s as a way to "protect" faculty and their "academic freedoms." I like both those concepts! The protection comes from not having to be fired for speaking up and bringing attention to topics that may be perceived as controversial. Academic freedom allows for free expression of thought, speech, research, publications that may otherwise be influenced, manipulated, or suppressed by institutions, government, religious groups, and other entities. Although tenure has some limitations, in general, it does allow for certain freedoms without the worry of being fired! It should be noted that tenured faculty can be fired for specific causes, and they can be fired by the elimination of the position! Sooooo, not completely a water-tight seal! Overall, this is not only beneficial for the individual faculty but also society in general, as it allows for the pursuit of knowledge and the expression of expertise shared without influence. (in the perfect world) So how do most institutions of higher learning review or evaluate one's worthiness? They look at 3 general categories.  Academic Performance This translates directly to what did you teach, how did you teach it, and did the students like you. A quick ask of some colleagues from other Universities has led me to believe most student evaluations are based on subjective questions. If you look at the evidence, the Student surveys are often deeply flawed. So, you ask why do we use them? Great question! Who knows!!! Professional Contributions This is the part of the worthiness check of how much you have done for the profession (in addition to what we pay you for). This section often covers the areas of professional development, contributions to the profession, research, publications, podium presentations, poster presentations, and don't forget to cover all your bases - local, national, and international levels! Who pays for it, you ask? Well, that's a bit of a loaded question. If your lucky and work for a top-tiered institution with a research focus and $$$$, the institution will more than likely will have resources and help for you to find, write, and receive grants, give you time, and will cover the cost associated with your work. However, if you happen to be at a teaching University, it's a bit of a crapshoot as to resources. The expectation of research, grants isn't as highly emphasized; the publications slightly on the lighter side as far as how many, BUT you will also lack resources, time, and funding! Service Service is the university's way of asking, "what have you done for me lately"? Your service to the School, College, University, &amp; Community. (yes, this is on top of your teaching, professional contributions, and life) This is your opportunity to show off your ability to squeeze in 27 hours of work in a 24 hour day! How many committees can you sit on, chair, and how much work can you produce in the name of your organization! It all sounds pretty straightforward until you read the fine print. So, here are my observations and learnings with tenure as I've journeyed through my tenure track position in a primarily teaching state institution. I guess I'll start with my biggest barriers I have faced and my recommendations: It's not a fair and even playing field. The support within Universities, colleges, schools, and departments varies…. SIGNIFICANTLY!!! Know what you're stepping into before you commit. If you've already stepped in it, find out what you need to do (exactly), so you can come out smelling like roses! Know the institution's expectations. Don't accept vague processes of how you can obtain tenure. Ask for resources and document when you do and when you don't receive the help you need. Document EVERYTHING and Save every Document, Letter, Note, and E-mail! Although the process is "objective," it's really not! Institutions are political, and politics play a part in tenure attainment. So my advice, you need to learn how to play politics. Ask the people that have sat on tenure review committees what they look for. Ask tenured faculty precisely what they put in their RTP (Retention, Tenure, Promotion) packets. When in doubt, include it in your RTP packet. Faculty you work with may not openly share their work, and some purposefully keep it under wraps. Don't waste your time on the stingy dinosaurs raised during the great academic famine of 1879! Find faculty that want to work with you and nurture your growth. TIP: They're not always in your own department, college, or university. Mentoring can be a hit or miss. An experienced faculty does not necessarily equal a good mentor. Some universities will assign you a mentor. If the mentor isn't working for your needs, it's OK to say "no thank you" or "This isn't working for me" "It's not you, it's me"! Mentorships have goals and objectives. Treat a mentorship as you would any other healthy relationship. If you're not getting what you need out of the relationship. It's OK to end it! Market yourself - because no one else is going to do it for you. Your evaluation and tenure packet will eventually leave the hands of your school and go to the college level and finally the provost. They should know who you are! However, an archaic method of "protecting academic freedoms”, which can be argued to be more of a barrier and forced labor, tenure is the ultimate goal when in an academic position. Some institutions use tenure as a carrot on a stick or worm on a hook for faculty to compete for in lieu of a culture of creative works, research, and publications. But my best advice to you would be to say "you do you"! and be yourself, know the rules of the game, and just play it better than everyone else! Tenure not only brings with it certain securities but also responsibilities. Make it work for you by knowing how to play the game, but don't be afraid to bring your own style and flair to the game! And always try and pave a path that would be easier for others to follow! Academic life is a rewarding one, but you have to be ok with making your own trophies!</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Blog - I’m Guac! I’m Guac! - I’m Guac! I’m Guac!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I saw a meme on on FaceBook and it said “Don’t let anyone treat you like free salsa. You are Guac! You are Guac!” and it stuck with me… I mean it really stuck with me. I talked about it to one of my classes, I told it to anyone that I talked to, and now as you read this, I’ve recreated the graphic and I am writing about it! But why? Why is this resonating with me this much? As I look back over the past few weeks, months, years, I’ve been super busy! I don’t remember the last time I wasn’t busy! The question is what kind of busy have I been? Have I been busy with what I enjoy doing? Have I been busy just working? Enriching my intellect? Time with family? Wasting time with endless busy work? Doing work for others without any benefit to me? The truth is a resounding “YES” to all those questions. But do I know and can I measure what I’m doing and if I’m doing enough of the right thing? The answer to that is, I’m not sure! How much salsa and how much guac is the question I imagine, and I think this is why the meme resonated with me to the pint that i still have it stuck in my head. So, how do we value ourselves and the contributions we make? A couple of years ago I donated a sketch to be sold with the money going toward food to be donated to a food bank. I had a hard time valuing my time and talent. I’ve been asked multiple times to speak and have been asked what I charge or what would be an acceptable speakers fee or if the honorarium would be acceptable. Again difficulty with putting value to my time, knowledge, and talent. So why do we or I should say why do I do what I do and what is my value and how do I value me? Do I allow others to treat me as free salsa or am I guac? I want to scream out loud “I AM GUAC!”, but I don’t always value myself like guac… I was in a seminar a few days ago and the speaker spoke about self-worth and values… another reason I think I’m stuck on the salsa/guac journey. The speaker spoke about Schwartz’s theory of basic values. I was intrigued! Without going into the theory or the assessment tools and as I did some soul searching of my own I have come to the conclusion that I am not any more clear now than I was before, BUT, I do have some additional insight that may help me in the future as I move forward in life. Here is some of my insight… Never let anyone treat you like free salsa. (no offense to salsa) You should know what you value. This takes time and thought. Put it on paper and keep it visible or handy. Start small - start with 3 things you values (ex. Family, Friends, Career, travel, Financial Freedom…) KNOW YOUR WORTH! Know what you bring to the table and know your market value! (This should be more objective) Ask others in your professional circle, a mentor, someone that didn’t give birth to you! Align your goals with your values. Don’t say yes right away… Give it a thought and ask yourself does this align with my values and goals. If your contribution is worth it they’ll wait for your answer. (just don’t take too long to answer) Spend your energy on what you value. Although I always encourage people to say “YES” to opportunities, it’s OK to say “NO”! No is not a bad word! Sometimes, I wish people would have said no instead saying yes and not be productive. And I think lastly make sure people know you “GUAC”… Eventhough your giving it to them for free!</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Blog - Keeping the Goal in Mind - Keeping the Goal in Mind Transitioning out of Military Service</image:title>
      <image:caption>The big question is, how do you stop listening to the negative doubting voice to make a positive impact? As I look back on my life, I have been fortunate to have a strong supporter of my mom. She has been the one consistent support that I have had my entire life. We haven't always agreed but she has always been there. I’m luck that now I have my wife and kids to also add to that support system. As I think back, I've had many people that supported me in life, My 6th-grade teacher as I had just immigrated to the US and did not speak the language, My Junior High School Science teacher that supported my interests, My High School JROTC instructor that helped me step up in a leadership role and kept me on track, my Navy recruiter that didn’t bullshit me and helped me get what I wanted, My Company Commander at Boot Camp that set the example of a United States Navy Sailor could achieve, A good and lifelong friend I made along the way that continues to support me, and a few leaders I had the honor of serving with during my time in the service. Don't get me wrong, my time in service did not start well; I was a great corpsman but not a great "sailor." But it didn't take me long to figure out how the game was played, and once I got my bearing in the military, finding people I could and would want to emulate wasn't that hard. Many times help, assistance, and mentorship was provided without me asking. I learned to thrive in the service by understanding the rules and vision of what I wanted to accomplish. As time went on and I was nearing my 10-year mark, I found myself thinking about life after the military and where I wanted to be. I saw enlisted service members leaving just to come back a few months later or join a different military branch and some leaving the military after 20 years, only to start almost at the bottom of the ladder again in the civilian community. Leaving the service frightened me! It's where I thrived, and I knew I fit in… But at the age of 28, I took that giant leap knowing I had the support I needed, a clear goal in mind, and a few things I had learned in the service…  Keep your eye on the goal! Know the goal is not permanently fixed; it can change and even move! Know your resources, even if it's just you (your own strengths, knowledge, and skillset). Build your alliances. Understanding you may have to make sacrifices to achieve your goal! Give yourself permission to Fail! But failure cannot be the final destination! Celebrate every success!</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Blog - Doubt… - Doubt…</image:title>
      <image:caption>… Doubts can be crippling. After everything I've done in my life, I can't say I still don't doubt myself and my ability to accomplish things. I have a terrible habit of comparing myself with others. I guess part of it is how I grew up. My dad always compared me with other kids and not necessarily in a positive light! The other is societal pressures. As kids, we're fighting for stars &amp; stamps on our papers, trophies from a competition, a word of encouragement from our teachers and parents, something that validates we're on the right track, something that elevates our value. As adults, we compete for jobs and seek recognition for our accomplishments through awards, honors, plaques, medals, certificates, raises, and a fair evaluation. We compete with colleagues for publications, research grants, and seats at the table. We seek degrees, certifications and make our credentialing alphabet soups grow… Ph.D. DNP, DNS, EdD, RN, PHN, NPD, APRN, MSN, MBA, BSN, ADN, OCN, FAANP, FAAN… (FYI.. there is a specific way to display credentials!!!) to show our expertise and contributions, always-on display… it can sometimes be tiring! Despite everything or anything I've managed to accomplish, self-doubt can still be crippling to one's psyche. So how do you do it? How do you get past internal barriers?  My first thoughts around doubt are acknowledging to yourself that you have doubt. I think it's easy to say I can't do it and walk away, and sometimes it is the right thing to do… When doubt prevents you from doing something that you CAN do, it's when doubt becomes destructive and not protective… Some of my go-to thoughts when I doubt myself. I've never done that before or Why would anyone want to read what I wrote, why would they be interested in what I have to say, will anyone even care. My favorite, there are more qualified people to do this. I will again, in true transparency, have had some of these very reasons reinforced by people that either did not have my best interest in mind, perhaps they lacked the passion I felt, or simply didn't see the world through my eyes. Putting yourself out there with the possibility of getting rejected is very vulnerable, and I will say a BRAVE thing to do. If you're out there expecting to be embraced at every turn, you'll be disappointed. But there is a considerable difference between doubt and you do nothing, don't try. People say no gain, but no loss! I would disagree with that thought process. I think there is loss when you don't try. The other is you doubt but still try. This is where you only stand to gain, regardless of acceptance / "winning" or rejection/ loss… It's a mindset that, honestly, I have not mastered. I have experienced more rejection and loss than I care to share. But we must look at it from a different perspective. It's a gain/gain thought process. What will I gain through acceptance or "winning," and what will I gain through rejection/loss? It's all a matter of perspective. How we approach a "gain" is essential, and we need to do it as part of our preparation.  Let's take something we've all done; Apply to a job we have never held before! Ideally, we would prepare for the role. We would have the right degree, right qualifications, prepared a resume, portfolio shiny and new, rehearsed the common questions ( you know… what are your strengths, what are your weaknesses, what would you do if you had a conflict…), show up professionally dressed, knock the interview out of the park…. Scenario 1: you did everything right, you get the job, and you start in 4 weeks! Congratulations!  Scenario 2: you did everything right, you don't get the job, and all of a sudden, your doubt becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy! But here is what you should have already planned in preparation: You don't get the job, and you immediately reach out by a phone call or email and ask why you didn't get the job. Not in an aggressive way, but asking to close any gaps you may have had as a candidate. Sometimes, it's not you (if you did everything you were supposed to). So, walk away from scenario two a better and stronger candidate. With the next opportunity, you will be that much more competitive.  Regardless of what you do, your goals and what you want to do will take time and energy, even if the person you're competing against is yourself! A better you is not a wrong goal to have for oneself!  Doubt is a normal part of life. Just don’t allow it to define your life. Put yourself out there. We’ll all benefit from it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>RN-Mentor Blog - Rear View Mirror - Rear View Mirror (Part I)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m going to approach this Blog or dialogue or sometimes rants with a dual perspective—one as a mentor, and the other, a mentee. One thing I have learned over my lifetime is that learning never stops. Believe me, I tried really hard at one point in my life. At least for me, it's the easier route to take. Don't invest the time and energy, simple! However, the price led to negative consequences, unwanted surroundings, social circles that did not have my best interest at heart, and overall made me unhappy. Learning doesn't come naturally for me. I still struggle with it. I have to work hard at it, and that can sometimes be tiring. I'd instead do this than that. My "this" tends to be things that bring me joy, satisfaction, an immediate sense of gratification. I like to work on or with something that allows me to be creative, artsy, and challenging, which encourages me to think outside the box. I realized that I like structure at some point in my life and thrived on it in the military, but I hate the confines of rules, even though I spent 10 years in the military! I think regulations stifle creativity, and I fight it, sometimes to my own detriment! This is why I seek knowledge. Not because I enjoy sitting in a 4-hour seminar or take a 6-month long course in something, but I seek knowledge because it gives me the tools I need to accomplish what I want. Three years and an AA degree in the community college at the age of 31 taught me how to study and enjoy learning. A bachelor of Science degree in Nursing placed me in a profession with endless possibilities. A Master's degree put me in a specialty that allowed me to tap into my creative side. Finally, a Ph.D. that allowed me to create knowledge and opened so many doors! However, this all didn't happen on its own. Like many colleagues I have talked to on my podcast, there were always people along the way that I leaned on. I didn't call them my mentors, and I may not have seen myself as a mentee, but they all provided a guiding light. More about them later! I was not the best student in high school, and I think everyone who took me under their wing was just hoping I graduate. I don't think any of them would have believed I would have a Ph.D. after my name at any point. To be completely transparent, even some family members pleaded with my mom to not allow me to leave the military after 10 years. The concern: I would do nothing else with my life! And as long as we're putting it all on the table, I had severe doubts about myself also...</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Art and graphics can be powerful tools. Over the years I’ve used it for communicating a message, intent, feelings, understanding, or simply as a way of self therapy or distraction from the everyday stressors of life. Art has always been a passion of mine. Although, I’m a self taught artist, I have managed to integrate my art into my professional life. I use my own drawings in presentations, I use it to convey a message, and I use it to stay engaged in conferences or meetings by creating doodles. A couple of years ago I found out what I was actually doing had a name, SKETCHNOTING. You see, my “doodles” were purposeful with words and drawings that were related to what I was seeing, hearing, and understanding. This form of art is called sketchnotes, also known as graphic notes, or graphic recording. Over the past few years I’ve been fortunate enough to also share some of my artwork and doodles at conferences, seminars, and course I’ve taken. Also look for my special series “DOCs Veterans Corner”. An informative series of sketch notes/ illustrations regarding veteran issues.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As in any profession, mastering the knowledge, skill, and path to success are often a more enriching experience when you can learn from others that have taken a similar journey or have walked the path before you. I have always valued the ability to have a mentor in my life I can communicate with, learn from, and get feedback from. I have always looked to see if others have traveled the same or similar path as I have and can I emulate or learn from another persons success. As a nationally board certified Nursing Professional Development Specialist and Academic I have always promoted professional development and growth through mentoring, role modeling, and value the experiences of others that have been or are in roles (official or unofficial) I would consider positions of influence in the profession of nursing. A few years ago I started having my undergraduate nursing students contact or look up Fellows of the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN) to help them realize all the FAAN’s started exactly where my students are and help them visualize their capacity to evolve and grow within the profession of nursing. The power of a conversation and the human voice have profound impact. I have found the assignment with my students and even some colleagues on the service side to be extremely profound as it opened peoples eyes to the possibilities. I have even had nursing students come to me, after my series of professional development course work or workshops, and say how they now saw the nursing role as more than just bedside and how their views of the nursing profession has significantly expanded. The RN-Mentor podcast is an extension of what I started years ago, with a twist! This podcast is an opportunity for everyone to learn about the beginnings of nurse leaders, innovators, educators, disruptors, challengers, authors, movers and shakers, and more… What this podcast does is gives its primarily RN audience an opportunity to hear from individuals they may not normally have the opportunity to meet and talk to for any length of time. I created the RN-Mentor Professional Development Resources site to assist nursing professionals that teach any component of nursing professional development, leadership, role transition, communication … in curriculum, and ALSO be used by nursing professional development specialist, service line educators, formal and informal nurse mentors, nurse leaders, nurses, and by student nurses to use for the purposes of professional development, communication, self-improvement, and professional growth. This site provides some tools and resources that can be used by faculty, nurses, student nurses and anyone interested on their path to improving the nursing profession through self and student professional development.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HC Professionals Memorial Art Project - 17 July 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’re now at $700.00 with the fundraiser. Experimented with a few new media. pretty excited with how some of the material i’ll be working with can be incorporated into the project. Thanks goodness for online tutorials as they have given me some ideas. My girls have been giving me hand as well, which has made this process a family affair. My wife also came up with an incredible thought about one major aspect of the project which I am definitely incorporating. Completed a few initial prep items today. I think I have a pretty good grasp on the overall look and feel of the project. I have a few purchases to make for this project. Going to try and get to those this weekend.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HC Professionals Memorial Art Project - 30 July 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>Donations are now at $1324.00. Thankful for everyone that has donated so far. I have about 10 people that have said they were sending me their stethoscope and I am grateful for that. As you can see above, the stethoscope Dr. Valdez wrote about just arrived. I am my own worst critic and the responsibility to produce a meaningful piece of art seems like an enormous responsibility and I hope what I am creating meets everyones expectations. I am excited to say I have put somewhere around 30 hours so far into the project and I am using material and techniques I have not really used to produce an art piece. So the best way to describe it is it’s definitely a mixed media piece!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>30 August 2020 The fundraiser has remained the same since the last update. As a result of funding, the number of donated stethoscopes the project is getting downscaled to 3 panels, each 3’X7’. Still a substantial art piece. Very excited to say the main figure on the center panel is complete (phase I) and I am starting work on the actual center panel the figure will be mounted to ( I’m referring to that as phase II) and the remaining two panels which will display the donated stethoscopes (phase III). Overall I could not be more grateful for everyone that has contributed and supported this project.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The work on panels 2 and 3 has started with the completion of phase II. My 11th donated stethoscope arrived today. I have been creating individual sites with an image and stories or noted that have been shared with me. I have also added smaller pictures to this site that can be clicked on for full site. In addition, the names of all the people that have supported this project financially have also been added.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Thanks to a generous donation by the Cal State LA BSN Class of 2020 the funding for this project now stands at $1624.00. The project is nearing completion. It’s been just over 3 months that I started this and I predict another 2 weeks on this. Finishing up the 3rd board probably by this weekend. It’s been a long and emotional journey; lots of hours (300+) put into this project. I look forward to sharing it with everyone and honoring our healthcare professionals and those that died caring for others!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I am days away from completing this project. The last 2 stethoscopes arrived yesterday along with the wood trim I needed for the framing of the three panels. I am still exploring options for the next steps. Several people have asked if the art piece will be making any tours. I think it’s too early to say. But I hope there is an opportunity for as many people to see this as possible as I believe it has a message to share!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Thanks to more generous donations by nurses the gofundme now stands at $1824.00. Started the framing process of the three boards today. The frames had to be cut, prepped, and nailed on. the back of the boards also had to be finished before the framing could go on. The center board is complete and now working on board #2. I think I’ll be done with the boards by Sunday.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>06 October 2020 After almost 4 months and 350+ hours on this project it is completed. Now to start looking for a hopefully permanent home for this piece and hopefully getting some press coverage as this art project was never meant to be just art for the sake of art, but art in the form of “artivism” and ensuring we communicate our anger for the unnecessary loss of our colleagues lives and bring together our collective voices as healthcare professionals and create a safe environment where we do not compromise the safety of the public, our family, our friends, and ourselves. The governments and hospital administrators inability to protect us is a no longer acceptable and this lesson must never be forgotten. Thanks to everyone that supported this project. This project would have never happened without your belief in the message in remembrance of the lives lost and the inactions, policies, and lack of leadership that led to so many lives lost.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>17 October 2020 I’m going to start with a thank you to everyone that has reached out to me and your incredibly kind words about the project. As many of the donors, contributors, and a few colleagues and neighbors that have seen the project in pictures or in person have suggested I will be looking into a possible tour of the art work. I will say, taking a piece of art on a tour is very much a foreign concept to me and I am grateful for guidance I have already received. This will mean additional fundraising and sponsorship for this work, so more to come on that. I am excited to say my home base, California State University, Los Angeles, will be covering the piece in an upcoming Cal State LA Connections newsletter. I hope this can be a kickoff point to share the message of this work and bring attention to the need to protect our healthcare community and remember our community of healthcare workers that have died due to COVID19.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HC Professionals Memorial Art Project - 11 November 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’ve spent a good portion of the last month trying to strategize around how to get the message out. California State University, Los Angeles had agreed to run a story on the #HCPMA and did send out a photographer. However, not exactly sure when the story will be going out. At the advise of a colleague I am working on several new pieces (much more of a smaller scale) to make this not just the one large piece, but more of an exhibit that speaks to the struggles and factors that impacted the healthcare community since the coronavirus hit the world. Currently I have 2 pieces that I am finishing up. One of them follows the movement of healthcare workers standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movements and the other is a homage to an art piece done by Luis Quiles with the theme of a healthcare worker being cheered but she has scissors that have been stabbed in her back. (a quick WARNING - his art comes with strong political messages but often with nudity and adult content - IG @quiles_artwork &amp; luisquiles.art) I still have 3 more pieces I am currently planning on working on and have started gathering the material I need.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HC Professionals Memorial Art Project - Broken Trust</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was one of several pieces I had worked on along with the larger #PPENOW piece. It not only represented the same theme as the #PPENOW but the stethoscope represents the broken trust many healthcare professionals felt between them and their instituions that failed to protect them, the government that failed to act on the urgency of this pandemic, and a large number of the public that denied the science and continued to ignore the public health warnings and recommendations.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is a piece I started summer 2020 but just got around to finishing. The Stethoscope was donated by my good friend and mentor Dr. Wanda Montalvo PhD, RN, FAAN. One of the many stories I heard from my former students and colleagues is how alone they felt in the fight with COVID. The solo stethoscope represents the feelings of isolation, loneliness, and inability to share the experiences with family and loved ones.</image:caption>

A controversial artist “focused in satire drawings and social criticism with high sexual charge” Luis Quiles produced a piece, highly circulated globally through social media, depicting a nurse in full PPE walking while clapes in the background cheering her on. The nurse also has a number of scissors in her back, stabbed! A depiction of betrayal by the public, government…</image:caption>

      <image:title>HCPMA Stethoscope #1 - Stethoscope #1</image:title>
      <image:caption>Donated by Dr. Anna Valdez PhD, RN, CEN, CNE, CFRN, FAEN, FAADN “I am packing up my stethoscope tonight to donate to @artayyeb for the memorial art project he is building to honor health care professionals who have died of COVID-19. It has me sentimental tonight. I was given this stethoscope by my friends when I was a young ED nurse. I was very poor in nsg school and could not afford a good one. They pitched in and bought me a Littman. I remember feeling better about myself when I put it around my neck like my worth increased that day. I have worn this stethoscope for 25 years in EDs, trauma rooms, ambulances, ICUs, and helicopters. It has touched thousands of patients. It never failed me. My favorite memory though is when someone else wore it. When I was still a nursing dean I had a student sent to my office for being “unsafe and unprofessional”. He was sent home from clinical because he showed up “unprepared” w/o a stethoscope for the second time. His teacher said he was unprofessional and at risk of failing. They told him if it happened again he was done. This young man was in preceptorship with 3 weeks left in nsg school. When he came in my office he was shaking and clearly afraid. I sat down with him and gently asked him why he kept coming to clinical w/o his stethoscope. He began to cry and said someone had stolen his stethoscope and he was sharing with a friend. Now that they were in preceptorship he could only use it when his friend was off. He took some coins out of his pocket and said this is all the $ I have. I cannot buy a new one. Now with tears in my eyes too, I reached in my drawer and handed him my stethoscope. I told him to take good care of it and bring it back to me at graduation. I hugged him and told him it would be okay. A few weeks later that young father graduated. He showed up with my stethoscope in his hand. I traded it with him for a brand new Littman. I can afford one now. We both cried and he went on to become a nurse with a shot at a different life - much like I did. Nurse educators are quick to judge students. I was thinking tonight - What if we viewed students as people we are privileged to serve and embraced their individual gifts and humanity? What if we respected and valued nsg students without judgment? What if we valued differences? What if we taught empathy and compassion by demonstrating it? This young man was not unprofessional. He was a human being who was suffering. He was doing his best to be his best. As we teach the core values of nursing, let’s strive to embody them. We don’t have to be gatekeepers. We can choose to be bridges instead. I am grateful that this nurse and I shared my stethoscope. I am humbled and honored that he trusted me with his truth that day. I hope he and his family are thriving and safe. I hope he is being protected by his employer right now. I will miss this worn stethoscope. And it is because it holds so many important memories that I chose to donate it. This is the least I can do for our colleagues who have lost their lives to COVID-19.”Dr. Valdez has been an incredible supporter and feel incredibly privileged to know her and be receiving this incredible gift for the project.</image:caption>

I was rejected from nursing school twice and when I finally got the acceptance call it was Christmas Eve and the next morning my parents gifted me this stethoscope. It was once pink… 7 Years ago! It saw me through my two years as a new nurse on a med-surg floor, two years as a transitional care nurse for COPD, two years of oncology nursing, and 3 years as a DNP student in the community doing BP screening.

I used it to take blood pressures &amp; elicit deep tendon reflexes. It was used for many shifts &amp; lay in disuse for a few years. It has touched literally thousands of people. Just like I have.

I can’t discuss the moments and feelings shared with patients and families while I had that stethoscope with me, because they were shared by only me &amp; my patient/family. It’s touched the chest &amp; back of young, old, sick, critical, and those who have passed. It means so very much to me, and I wanted you to have it. Your project is critical! With regard to this item, please know it’s an honor to have it be used for your project. So thank you, it will be in very, very good hands!”</image:caption>

This stethoscope was there for me in nursing school, first job as and ICU nurse, &amp; first job as a nurse practitioner. As you can see, I use my battle ax well. I think it’s a great idea to honor people on the frontlines during the COVID outbreak. I, myself, experience first hand the lack of PPE in skilled nursing facilities. Not all facilities are created equal, healthcare professionals are forced to wear surgical masks instead of N95, while others reuse their N95 masks for a week! I remember working in the ICU with TB patients and discard them after one patient interaction. I’m sad that it takes the deaths of healthcare workers for our government to produce more PPE. Let your memorial be a reminder to not repeat the past. Warmest Regards, Janice</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Donated by Dr. Brenna Morse PhD, RN-BC, NCSN, CNE “This is the stethoscope I used throughout nursing school and in my first health care job as a unit aide. I remember going to the workwear store with my grandmother to pick it out. I was so excited to finally have my own, I felt like I was really on the road to becoming a nurse after this! Stethoscopes were, of course, an essential tool in the college learning labs and then when we *finally* got to see real live patients on the hospital units. It remains an important tool in my clinical practice to hear hearts, lungs, and bellies, quickly check reflexes, and even entertain some younger children from time to time. But we didn't bring our stethoscopes to class to learn about pandemics. We didn't need our stethoscopes to read about health insurance and barriers to accessing care. Stethoscopes did not help us learn about the legal rights of patients. It was not a tool we needed to really talk to our patients about their health and lives. Stethoscopes did not analyze policies that can support wellness or make staying healthy impossible. Stethoscopes were not packed on the days nursing students provided community health education in places like schools, YMCAs, shelters, and senior centers. Now as a nurse educator, I have wondered if the way I was taught about nursing, and even the way I teach nursing now: if all of the knowledge and ways nurses can contribute to care access, educational opportunities, prevention, policy creation, advocacy, safety... you name it.... were put on the same pedestal reserved for technical skills for which we need stethoscopes in our own eyes and those of the public- would we be here with over 7000 global health care colleagues dead from COVID19?</image:caption>
