EPIC is coming: GO-LIVE September

UVA PROGRAM REVIEW

Scheduled for April 18, 19 and 20 2010

Student Funding for Portable Information Devices (PID)

The UVASON has submitted an application for funding of portable information devices, in this case itouch devices for students.  Brian Reed, PhD Curry student and UVASON intern and Leslie Stirn, RN, UVASON PNP student have presented their proposal to outside funding and await word on notification. We wish them the best and appreciate their efforts on behalf of the UVASON!

SSN and Grades

While we have not posted grades in years, this is a helpful reminder.  At the UVASON, we post grades to a secure collab site.

Reminder:
The University of Virginia no longer uses students' social security numbers as identifiers. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act prohibits public posting of grades so that students and their grades may be identified. Specifically, we may not used social security numbers or parts thereof in posting grades.

Classrooms

Faculty: Please try to adhere to the classroom assignments and times.  Let the program director know if you have a request to change as changing your time or room may affect other classes or forums.

International Planning and Site visit to establish GBI program with Distinguished Alum

Dr. Emily Drake and I travelled to the Grand Bahama Island with our host, Dr. Mary DeLashmutt, UVASON distinguished alumni 2009.  Dr. DeLashmutt invites the UVASON to become Global Health Partners as the Grand Bahama Island or GBI program.  We are exploring the site for Community Health in both CNL track of the MSN program, the BSN program and potential for other Masters tracks.  Dr. Dawn Rigney will make a followup visit in July with CNL students and will look for sustainable projects.

The GBI program fits the guiding principles established by the UVASON International Committee.

Guidling Principles for UVASON International Experiences

•         The GBI programs for education and/or research will be responsive to healthcare needs and priorities that were identified in-region

•         The GBI program will include aspects of actual service to the community along with learning and/or research (ie service learning programs)

•         The GBI program will not only benefit our students, but will work toward developing in-region capacity – i.e. training and/or developing opportunities for ongoing professional development for in-region providers

•         The GBI program will lay the foundation for long-term learning, research and service opportunities and relationships,with the potential for UVASON recruitment of other faculty and students into these and other projects

CCNE NOTIFICATION

We were notified in writing on November 17 that the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) reviewed the continuous improvement progress report submitted by the baccalaureate degree program in nursing and master's degree program in nursing at the University of Virginia and determined that the programs continue to meet all accreditation standards.




The next on-site evaluation is scheduled for Fall 2013. We will submit a self study in Fall 2012.



Congratulations Program Directors and all faculty and staff and students in these programs.

Special thanks to Dr. Judy Sands for her assistance with the report and to Della Marsh for the final production and submission process.
