Clinical Assistant Professor Michelle Palmer, a certified nurse midwife at Landmark Medical Center and Rhode Island Home Birth and Hope Family Health, was named Certified Nurse Midwife of the Year; and Professor Mary Sullivan, a research scientist at Women and Infants Hospital and adjunct professor in the department of pediatrics at the Alpert Medical School at Brown University, was named Nurse Scientist of the Year.<\/p>\n

Excellence in Nursing honorees are nominated by peers and judged by an independent panel of nursing leaders from around the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased and proud that professors Palmer and Sullivan are receiving well-deserved recognition for their significant contributions to patient care and the profession of nursing,\u201d said Barbara Wolfe, dean of the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Nursing. \u201cEvery day they demonstrate commitment to their patients, their students, the University, and the profession.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palmer, whose first degree is in art history from 溏心vlog免费B站, came to her vocation in nurse midwifery after attending a friend\u2019s home birth. Once she saw that baby being born, she knew midwifery was what she wanted to do, said Palmer, of Charlestown. She went on to earn a bachelor\u2019s degree in nursing at Creighton University, a certificate of midwifery from Frontier Nursing University and her master\u2019s from Case Western Reserve University. She said she has no regrets about having an art history degree because she knows that \u201cthe art of health care is just as important as the skill of health care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sullivan began her nursing research career while pursuing her doctorate at 溏心vlog免费B站, teaching at the College of Nursing, and as a member of an interdisciplinary scientific group. Before long, she had secured funding from the National Institutes of Health and embarked on studies of a group of premature infants that has lasted for 25 years, one of the longest U.S. study tracking their long-term health and developmental outcomes. Sullivan, of Narragansett, works to raise awareness about the important role of nursing science and how it informs practice, noting that nurses \u201cmake clinical judgments based on science to ensure better outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2018 Excellence in Nursing awardees will be honored at a celebration Thursday, Sept. 27, at Harbor Lights in Warwick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
