`

`The Penn Nursing Baccalaureate Degree:
`Intellectual Tradition
`
`This exciting issue of UPfront is a testament
`to the progress we have made in our
`discipline in 75 years, the milestones we
`are facing in our profession, the richness of
`the Penn baccalaureate nursing program as
`either a first or second degree, and the
`myriad opportunities students have at the
`School and the University as a whole.
`
`I am writing this column while traveling
`overseas. Walking through old, majestic
`buildings reflecting the diversity of
`neoclassical, baroque, and modern
`architecture, the sights and sounds ofthe
`ancient city of Prague in the Czech Republic
`prompt me to reflect upon Penn's heritage
`and future. They both have illustrious
`histories. Both are global and diverse.
`Both have survived many leaderships and
`changes, integrating the old with the new
`and charting a new path for the future.
`
`Baccalaureate nursing education at Penn
`was one of the early programs in the United
`States. Built on a pioneering diploma
`program, it was originally housed in the
`School of Education, then within the Division
`of Medical Affairs, and finally as an
`autonomous program. Just as the Czech
`Republic, which was ruled (mostly
`peacefully) by other countries before it
`became an independent nation, Penn's
`baccalaureate nursing program has
`integrated the best of each phase and been
`strengthened and enhanced by each period
`in our 75-year history.
`
`In Prague, you can experience the
`richness of Europe. In the Penn Nursing
`baccalaureate program, you can see the
`effect of the University of Pennsylvania.
`Prague blends the past with the present.
`Penn's BSN has evolved over seven—plus
`decades. Students learn from a well»
`
`established, but ever—evolving curriculum.
`They practice clinically at some of the finest
`hospitals in the country, a long lasting staple
`of the Penn Nursing program. As one
`example, the top-ranked Hospital ofthe
`University of Pennsylvania and The Children's
`Hospital of Philadelphia are next door to the
`nursing building and clinical sites for both
`faculty and students. But today's students
`
`also work and practice in high-tech
`simulation labs. They have access to the
`most advanced systems and technologies,
`utilized by healthcare systems across the
`globe. They travel the country and world to
`learn from expert patient care providers and
`gain firsthand strategies to provide culturally
`competent care. They are taught by leaders
`in the field and work alongside faculty
`members who are engaged and passionate
`about their researc and its translation into
`
`evidence-based practices and healthcare
`reform. From worki g with Dr. Mary Naylor,
`whose transitional research model of
`
`hospital-to-home care for older adults was
`the basis for legisla ion that was recently
`introduced into hot houses of Congress
`(page 46) to working on the largest study of
`Autism Spectrum Disorders to date with
`Dr. Jennifer Pinto-
`artin (page 12) to
`developing their own research projects under
`the supervision of faculty mentorship, the
`Penn Nursing stude tis consistently
`exposed to the evidence that forms the basis
`of quality care.
`
`As in a great city, a great University
`embraces a wide variety of styles and
`opportunities in a rich mix of cultures and
`intellectual traditions. From our Hillman
`Scholars (page 29) to our joint degree
`program with the Wharton School (page 7),
`from study abroad opportunities allowing
`students to practice in hospitals, villages,
`and clinics across the world (pages 20-24)
`to mentorship partnerships that pair
`incoming freshmen with expert faculty,
`fellow students, and alumni — the Penn
`difference is about providing a rich
`educational experience. Just as t e Prague
`Circle produced scholars who have gone
`down in history as making a major impact
`on music, literature, and philosop ical
`thought, our program (with its much shorter
`history) has produced nurse scientsts,
`researchers, scholars and practitioners who
`are all thought leaders.
`
`But it is notjust the cultural stim lation of
`Prague that has put me in this optimistic
`mood. Coming on the heels of President
`Dbama's remarks about the imporance of
`
`nurses, the House of Representatives has
`just adopted the President's fiscal year
`2010 budget request of $263 million for
`Title Vlll Nursing Workforce Development
`Programs. As Penn celebrates 75 years of
`baccalaureate nursing education, this
`important step to increase funding for loan
`repayment and nurse faculty programs
`helps ensure that the nation's healthcare
`needs will be addressed by the next
`generation of nursing graduates who will
`be on the frontlines of delivering care.
`
`As I look to our baccalaureate program, I see
`graduates who are leaders at the bedside
`and the community. They deliver expert care
`at home and abroad, from hospitals in
`Philadelphia to clinics in the poorest regions
`of the world. They live what we at Penn
`Nursing believe: that through education, a
`strong knowledge base, and scientific
`evidence, they can provide the care that
`changes the world. When I visit healthcare
`systems, I repeatedly hear about how the
`Penn Nursing graduates are well educated,
`repared, and ready to tackle co plex care
`situations. It is a true testament to the
`
`caliber of Penn students, the facu ty
`entorship, and the breadth of e ucation
`and opportunity atthe University. It is for all
`hese reasons and more that I am feeling
`very optimistic about the innova ive
`changes our faculty are making in our
`rograms as we forge on a futurstic path
`hat better reflects globalization,
`echnology, changing demograp ics, and
`progress in the health sciences.
`
`t is a strong history, and our legacy grows
`with each graduating class as we continue
`o chart a new path for the future. Thank
`you all for sharing in our history and
`celebration.

`
`DEAN AFAF I. MELEIS: "Asl loukto our baccalaureate program, I see graduates live what we at Penn Nursing

`a strong knowledge base, and
`

`
`Dr. Sarah Kagan, the Ralston House Term
`Professor of Gerontological Nursing and a
`student mentor, knows firsthand the
`exponential impact created by every
`scholarship opportunity and contribution.
`
`"I didn't finish paying off my educational
`loans until I was 40," she said. "And I had
`two Bachelor's degrees, a master's degree
`and a PhD. So I know that scholarships
`provide remarkable opportunities and a lot
`of freedom to capitalize on opportunities
`students might not otherwise have had. It's
`the idea that you don't have to calculate
`every part of your life with the weight of
`loans. And that is a moment where real
`
`possibilities can shine through."
`
`In 2007, University President Dr. Amy
`Gutmann announced that Penn would
`
`eliminate loans for financially eligible
`undergraduate students regardless of family
`income, making it possible for students from
`a broad range of economic backgrounds to
`graduate debt—free. As a priority of her Penn
`Compact, the measure has aimed to make a
`
`Penn education accessible to exceptionally
`talented students from the broadest array of
`economic backgrounds possible and
`eliminate the fear of prospective students
`that they will be a financial burden to their
`families.
`
`This Fall all undergraduate students eligible
`for financial aid will receive |oan—free aid
`
`packages, regardless of family income level.
`The no—|oan initiative will be financed in
`
`large part from funds raised by Penn's
`Making History Campaign, the University's
`five—year, $3.5 billion fundraising campaign,
`which encompasses Penn Nursing's Where
`Science Leads Campaign and includes a
`$350 million goal for undergraduate
`financial aid endowment.
`
`"I have heard President Gutmann say
`several times that scholarship support is our
`number one priority," said Joanne Hanna,
`the University's Director of Development for
`Undergraduate Financial Aid. "One of the
`major challenges we face across the
`University during these times is changing
`
`he perception that Penn isn't affordable
`and it might be better to pay less money
`and go somewhere else. I was just talking
`o a student who said that he was so
`
`excited when he got his acceptance letter
`rom Penn, but he was even more excited
`when he saw his aid package because it
`eant he could come to Penn."
`
`Through academic excellence and financial
`support, Adam Sherr, Director of Student
`%egistration and Information, said this Fall
`hat Penn Nursing will welcome its most
`diverse class ever. The School has 19
`
`ncoming freshma males and 24 students
`of color.
`
`"That's because o the opportunities we are
`able to provide, like scholarships," he said.
`"At graduation, I ad at least a half a dozen
`families come up o me and say, thank you
`for helping my chi d do this. And that's what
`scholarships enab e us to do — allow
`students to see the possibilities."
`As the no—Ioan ini iative meets a time of
`economic downturn, the need for
`scholarship suppo t is more critical than
`ever. According to the University, the
`average undergraduate student receiving
`grant aid during t e 2008 — 2009 academic
`year received $27,000 from endowment and
`operating funds.

`(conu'nueo' from page 29)
`
`The Hillman/Penn Scholars Program began
`in 1989 with the proceeds of the sale of
`Picasso's Mere etfnfantand the vision of
`Mrs. Flita Hillman, who dreamed of
`improving bedside nursing care in New York
`City hospitals. Today, the partnership
`between the Alex Hillman Family
`Foundation and the University of
`Pennsylvania School of Nursing has
`nurtured and guided more than 200 Penn
`Nursing students on a path to excellence in
`nursing care.
`
`The program makes scholarship funds
`available to nursing students in exchange
`for a we kcommitment of two years upon
`graduation at any hospital in New York City.
`Each su mer a fresh cohort of Penn
`
`Nursing graduates arrives in New York City
`hospitals to care for the city's patients and
`to provi e models of leadership for other
`young nurses working alongside them.
`
`The Hill an/Penn Scholars Program has
`proven to be an exceptional model of
`support or nursing and nursing students
`alike. At any given time, as many as 67
`Penn Nursing students are receiving tuition
`support
`rom their freshman through senior
`years as undergraduates and through their
`studies as master's students. In addition,
`they take part in cohortbuilding events and
`programs, are mentored by leading faculty,
`expert clinicians and previous Hillman/Penn
`Scholars and serve the final semester of
`
`their senioryear clinical rotations in one of
`two New York partner hospitals — New York
`
`Presbyterian Weil Cornell Medical Center or
`the NYU Langone Medical Center — gaining
`invaluable bedside experience while
`building networks and friendships.
`
`they saw the creativity of Penn Nursing to
`put an innovative scholarship program into
`motion, and it inspired them," Ellen Baer
`remembered.
`
`The Hillman/Penn Scholars Program has
`helped to address the nursing shortage,
`raise visibility for nursing, support students
`in need and produce some of the best
`prepared nurses in the country to ultimately
`save and improve lives. In two decades of
`existence, the program has become so
`much more than simply a scholarship
`p ogram. It has become a model of what a
`scholarship program can accomplish.
`
`"This was really the first scholarship of its
`k'nd at Penn Nursing," said Marianne
`Smith, the Schools Associate Director of
`E rollment Management. "Because Ivy
`League Schools do ot give meritbased
`scholarships, no scholarship ever really
`smultaneously considered talent or
`ambition until the Hllman. And it's such a
`
`b illiant idea, this scholarship. It has made a
`h ge impact with o rstudents and our
`scholarships overall."
`
`In 2002, after a series of conversations with
`Ellen D. Baer, RN, P D, FAAN, Professor
`Emerita at Penn Nu sing, who helped to
`establish the Hillman/Penn Scholars model,
`George H. and Este le M. Sands began the
`Nursing Scholars Program.
`
`"George and Estelle Sands saw what the
`Hillman/Penn Scho ars Program did and
`
`Moved by the success and impact of the
`Hillman/Penn Scholars Program and a
`desire to improve nursing in the Princeton,
`New Jersey area, the couple created a
`scholarship program for undergraduate
`juniors and seniors who agree to fulfi I their
`senior clinical requirement and work at the
`University Medical Center at Princeto after
`graduation. Each year the School aims to
`support eight Sands Scholars.
`
`With the economic downturn bringing
`i creased financial pressure to stude ts and
`families, Ms. Smith says there have been
`record applications to scholarship programs
`li e the ones established and inspire by
`R'ta Hillman.
`
`“his is the first year in quite some time that
`o rstudents have had to contend wit a
`
`tght job market, but with these programs,
`0 rgraduates already know where they
`a e going to work," she said. "And that's
`where the Hillman and similar scholarship
`p ograms are really important for giving
`students the opportunity to come to Penn
`Nursing, complete their degrees and then
`launch into their careers."
`
`As the inspiration for so many Penn Nursing
`scholarship programs, including the Gail
`Kass Honorary Endowed Scholarship in
`Gerontological Nursing, a master's—level
`workcommitment scholarship established
`by NewCourt|and Elder Services, the
`Hillman/Penn Scholars Program has pushed
`the school and its supporters to think
`creatively. Dr. Kathleen McCauley, Associate
`Dean for Academic Programs at the School
`of Nursing, says the Hillman program is
`emblematic of what is wonderful about
`
`Penn Nursing — the imagination to embrace
`new vision.
`
`Kevin Hook is Coordinator of Advanced Practice
`Nursing and Ethics Integration at Golden Living
`Centers where he is researching ways that the
`clinical expertise at nurse practitioners can be more
`widely accessed by clinicians across the company.

`ALUNINI CONNECTIONS
`
`Message from the Penn Nursing Alumni President
`
`Dear Penn Nursing Alumni,
`
`This summer, when I was asked to considertaking on the role of Penn Nursing
`Alu
`ni President, I began to list the traits that seemed critical to success:
`orga iization, public speaking skills, dedicated time, the ability to inspire and
`encourage others, a vision for change and the wisdom to know when things should
`stay the s me, and of course, leadership.
`
`Wha I now realize is that I have worked with many skilled Penn Nursing Alumni
`Presidents and the most important trait, one we all share, is a love for and dedication to
`Penn Nursi g and our fellow alumni.
`
`Hayii g deeded to take on the challenge of becoming your president, I would like to start
`by thankinc Jonathan Gilbride for his dedication and vision. It is in his footsteps that I
`begin my service to you. I would also like to acknowledge the members of the alumni
`boart who give significant time and energy to provide programs, events, outreach and
`infor iatio for all of us. Together, it is our pleasure to represent each of you.
`
`e, perhaps this is your year to step up and get more involved! Consider taking part
`like
`in the Chal enge Walk, join an alumni board committee, comment on our Facebook page,
`nominate someone for an alumni award, visit campus, or send us your latest news and
`updated address. In the last year of our I/I/here Science leads Campaign, this is the time
`to demonstrate your Penn Nursing pride by supporting the School. Gifts of all sizes have
`a significant collective effort in supporting students, the School, and the future of
`nursing.
`
`Your dedication to Penn Nursing has a direct impact on our collective voice.
`Won't you join me?
