A Gerontological Nursing Publication
|
|
The Byrdine F. Lewis College of Nursing and Health Professions at Georgia State University celebrates its golden anniversary and 50 years of graduating competent, compassionate healthcare providers.
The college traces its earliest roots to Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital in 1958 when the hospital contracted with Georgia State College, as it was known then, to offer basic science courses to its nursing students. By 1960, the hospital in conjunction with Georgia State, established a medical technology program for hospital laboratory workers. Later that decade Georgia State and Grady explored the possibility of a formal school of health and hired Dr. J. Rhodes Haverty, an Atlanta pediatrician and part of the Haverty Furniture Company family, as the first dean.
|
|
Dr. Haverty established degree programs in nursing and physical therapy and reorganized the existing medical technology program to build the new school. He championed a “2 + 2” model of education, which featured the first two years of education producing a moderate-level, beginning health professional and the second two years producing a highly competent professional. As a result, nursing offered both an associate and bachelor’s degree for more than a decade. Dr. Haverty quickly added a respiratory therapy program, following the same “2 + 2” model, offering both an associate and bachelor’s degree program. A few years later, he added a bachelor’s of nutrition degree.

|
So how did the college grow from these beginnings with less than 65 students to more than 2,200 in 2018? Read about our history and future in the 50th-anniversary magazine and website, found at

and help us celebrate this milestone in Georgia State and Atlanta’s history.

At TigerPlace, we are committed to improving the lives of older adults in Columbia, Missouri, and across the world. We believe in a Registered Nurse (RN)/Social Work (SW) Care Coordination model that uses technology to promote early illness recognition and fall detection. Our model facilitates the use of nursing services and resources to assist older adults in maintaining their independence and be as active as possible, through the end of their life. Sharing our innovative model of RN care coordination will help other organizations benefit from what we have learned and help them implement similar systems of health care and personal services.

Check Out This Great Read!
|
|
NHCGNE has picked their "Read of the Month"! We find great articles on nursing for you!
One of the recommendations in the recent Institute of Medicine report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, is to "prepare and enable nurses to lead change to advance health." How do I see this happening? Here's my top 10 list of what we should do to make this a reality.
Nursing equals leadership. We must reinforce at every level of nursing education that nurses are prepared to deliver what leaders are expected to demonstrate—integrity, practical intelligence, communication skills, teamwork, an appreciation of diversity, problem solving, and systems thinking—and show how these caregiving abilities are leadership essentials too, so students can see the connection.
