the School of Nursing, advances in technology
have increased opportunities to improve the
quality of and access to nursing education.
These technological advances have provided
the information and skill sets necessary to be a
knowledgeable nurse of the future: a nurse
educator, a nurse administrator, or a
nurse scientist.
The School became a model for nursing schools
worldwide during the early 19905, with the
opening of a "state-of-the-art" clinical learning
facility for undergraduate and graduate students,
where a critical care unit was simulated. enabling
students to practice advanced procedures in the
same manner as in an actual hospital setting.
Today, the School boasts 24 advanced clinical
simulation laboratories, including basic skills and
specialty units, All of the labs have teaching
stations with a built-in computer with access to
the Internet, bedside computers, and any software
program in the School.
When the School initiated the state's first
master's program in nursing informatics, the
use of computers in research, health care
systems, and society as a whole was
burgeoning. Anticipating a rapidly growing
demand for nurses competent in both nursing

"Simulation labs are the golden thread that runs

through the curriculum here and students of all
levels gain hands-on experience in the labs that
serves as a bridge between theory and clinical
work," Spunt says, "In the labs, students learn
basic skills that can be directly transferred into
clinical settings. Also, students have the opportunity
to practice skills they feel they need to improve
before they apply them in a clinical setting."

The School's 24 labs, representing about 31,393

intra aortic balloon pumps, hydrodynamic monitoring
devices, and ventilators, much donated by

students on their equipment. Some of the equipment

Informatics {Nil in 1988, Designed to prepare
nursing professionals to enhance quality patient care
outcomes through the design and management of
information systems, the program became a model for
nursing schools across the nation The School later
initiated the world's first NI doctoral program, as well
as a certificate option for nurses already possessing
an advanced degree.
"Our NI program is the largest and best established
program of its kind in the nation," says Kathleen
Charters, PhD, RN, CPHIMS, assistant professor,
Department of Organizational Systems and Adult
Health (OSAH). "There are currently more than 130
students enrolled in some aspect of the master's
program and 14 in the doctoral program." Charters

"Nurse informaticians are highly valued for their
ability to liaison between information technical
support personnel and clinicians," says Charters.
Current NI students Mona Choi, MS, RN, and John
Renee Repique, MS '99, RN, hope to use their
nursing informatics degrees to improve population
health and enhance psychiatric nursing.
Choi, a doctoral student, became interested in nurslllg
informatics while working as a critical care nurse, "I
was impressed by the capability of technology to
improve health care," she says.
After attending the School of Nursing's Summer
Institute in Nursing Informatics in 2000, Choi was
convinced that she wanted to pursue a PhD in
nursing informatics,
"I chose the University of Maryland's program
because of its renowned reputation, highly qualified
faculty, and excellent infrastructure for NI
research," says Choi, who is currently working on
her dissertation using Geographic Information
Systems as part of a decision support system to
assess high-risk visits for home care workers After
graduation, she plans to continue research in
informatics for public health to improve population
health with information technology, She would also
like to teach informatics in an academic setting,
"Technology is here-you can't avoid it," says John
Repique, a nurse manager/patient care manager at
New York Presbyterian Hospital's Payne Whitney
Clinic and a graduate of the School's master's
program in psychiatric nursing. Repique, who is
currently enrolled in the School's online post-
master's informatics program, has always been
interested in computers,
"As the Internet grew in popularity, so did my interest
in computers and technology," says Repique. "Like
technology, nursing is dynamic and ever-evolving, and
I could see how technology was becoming integrated
into all areas of health care and how it could benefit
the field of nursing,"

Experts agree that the use of computers and
information can improve health care quality
and promote patient safety. Most notably, it
can help address the ongoing nursing shortage
by improving workflow processes in various
health care settings
"I look at nursing informatics as a way to
combine my interest in computers and

national and international speakers, peer-reviewed
paper presentations, and posters representing
informatics practice in a broad range of practice
settings. Before and after the conference, the
School sponsors workshops designed to expand
the skill set of informatics nurse specialists and
those wanting to learn more about informatics in
the health care field
The 2004 Summer Institute in Nursing
Informatics, "Connecting the Health Care
Continuum - It's About Qua/ity .... It's About
Value.... It's About Time," is scheduled for
July 21-24 at the School of Nursing. More
information about the event can be found at

"The online program allows me to spend quality
time with my son during the day, and work on my
courses when he is napping or after he goes to
bed in the evening," says Popp, a traditional
student who graduated in May 2004.
Kimberly took her prerequisite courses online, so
she was able to transition easily to the School of
Nursing's program She says the hardest part of
this method of learning is balancing online
courses with traditional courses. But in general,
she finds online learning easier because
expectations are clearly spelled out for students.

Launched in fall 2001, the School's RN-BSN
completely online program was the first of its kind in
Maryland and one of the first in the nation The
program allows students to reach their educational
goals on their own schedule and on their own terms:
Preceptors at sites in the students' home communities
coordinate clinical experiences,
"The online program is particularly attractive to nurses
who must juggle work and home responsibilities and
those living in geographically remote areas," says Mary
Etta Mills, SeD, RN, FAAN, associate dean for
academic affairs and assistant dean for undergraduate
studies. "Classes are offered year round, so students
can learn any time, anywhere,"
Daniel Skates, BSN '04, a College Park resident and
full-time circulating nurse in the operating room at
Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., says
online learning gives him the flexibility he needs for
his busy lifestyle.
"The online program is really convenient for me," says
Skates, "I am usually up at 2 a.m. after working a full
shift, so I can log on to the computer and do some
school work at a time that fits my schedule."
Skates was a bit apprehensive about online learning at
first, thinking the workload would be much more intense
than that of a traditional classroom But he has found
that, although both require a lot of work, online leaming
is really no more difficult than the traditional method.
Skates says he graduated in May 2004, thanks to the
assistance he received from School of Nursing faculty,
who worked with him and helped him through many

transitions in both his personal and academic life, He
plans to continue his education, working toward his
goal of becoming a certified registered nurse anesthetist.
According to Mills, the program has experienced steady
growth. "When the program began three years ago, we
offered three courses and had 90 students enrolled,"
she says, "Currently, there are more than 20 courses
offered and 400-500 students enrolled"
Mills also says that it is easier for an RN to pursue
baccalaureate education now, because graduates of two-
year nursing programs can transfer more of their college
credits to university programs. Nurses can be granted
30 credits toward a bachelor's degree in nursing by
virtue of having an active unencumbered Maryland or
compact RN license, without having to take challenge
exams. Those 30 credits are in addition to the 70-credit
general education prerequisites that students transfer in.
"The online program means that students can seamlessly
continue on their path to a BSN," says Mills.
Plans are currently underway to add an RN to MS
online option in several specialty areas, including
Health Services Administration, Nursing Informatics,
and Environmental Health.
Building on its reputation for leadership in education,
research, and clinical practice, the School of Nursing
continues to lead the way in online education. Just one
year after its inception, the program received the
Computer-Based Professional Education Technology
Award, presented by Sigma Theta Tau International at
its annual Pinnacle Awards Ceremony. Mills; Carol
O'Neil, PhD, RN, assistant professor, Department of
Family and Community Health, and Nola Stair, MBA,
instructional design technologist, Office of Information
and Learning Technologies, were recognized for their
efforts in developing the program. The award
recognizes and honors an application that clearly
exemplifies an outstanding instructional use of
technology for nursing students or professional nursing
continuing education.

Nahm can speak from personal experience about
commitment, setting goals, and striving to reach
them because she has done just that, and has
done it alone. She came to the School of Nursing
via Korea, but not before a stop over in Hawaii,
where she worked as a full-time staff nurse while
pursuing her master's degree, Her clinical
interest and experience centered on the care of
older adult patients, which led to her master's
degree tccus in gerontological nursing.

"I felt connected to the older people," says
Nahm. "Many of them came from Korea and the
Philippines and did not speak English. I could
relate to their feelings of loneliness and isolation
because I had set out from Korea alone to pursue
my educational and career goals."
While working on her master's degree, Nahm was
introduced to the computer-an opportunity not
afforded to her in Korea, The computer facilitated
accessing detailed information she could use to
close the cultural gap she was experiencing as a
Korean nurse and student who had just come to
America. She spent countless hours surfing the
Internet and using the newly discovered technology
Alumna Goes Full Circle
for studying. She became so interested in the
computer that she took extracurricular courses in
computer science.
Driven by the desire to expand her understanding
of technology and its use in health care, Nahm
decided to pursue a PhD in nursing informatics
(Nil with a specific research goal of using
technology to improve the quality of life for older
adults. As a clinician, she noted that older
adults, as well as their caregivers, needed
additional assistance in various aspects of health
care, and she believed computer technology could
have a major impact on meeting those needs.
Information from her mentor ill Hawaii and the
cornputer that she had grown to love led Nahrn to
the University of Mal)'land School of Nursing. She
left Hawaii alone {again} and arrived in Baltimore
on New Year's Day 1997 She worked as a clinical
nurse specialist at Hopkins Bayview while pursing
her doctoral degree at the School of Nursing.
Realizing that she needed to focus on her research,
Nahm became the Information Manager at the
Johns Hopkins Geriatric Center (JHGC), while at
the same time working as a research assistant for
Barbara Resnick, PhD, RN, CRNP, FAAN, associate
professor,OSAH, on a National Institute on Aging
minority supplement grant.
During this time, Nahm opened a residents'
computer lab at JHGC and taught nursing home
residents how to use e-mail and the Internet.
These experiences helped her fully understand the
challenges older adults face when attempting to
learn and apply new technology. She conducted
studies on how older adults learn technologies and
investigated how computers and the Web can
improve their well-being. Currently, she is moving
toward delivering preventive care information on hip
fractures over the Web, focusing on the areas of
education and support. Her subsequent plan is to
incorporate rehabilitative interventions for hip
fractures online,

"I see myself as a researcher who builds expertise in
the areas of healthy aging and technology," says Nahm.
"My research endeavor will ultimately benefit the well-
being of older adults."
As a professor. Nahm says-she-finds-great pleasure in
discov~ring knowledge and sharing it with her students.
"I tell my students that they must find their niche in
NI-that there are many different fields! and they must
find ttie one they like," ---4
Nahm has certainly found her niche. From her start
as a young nursing student starting out alone, to
becoming a clinician, and now, finally, as a nursing
informatics researcher and professor, she has come
full circle.
"I am enthusiastic about the career path I have
chosen," says Nahrn. "I will continue to research
and to teach, and I hOP~to mentor others in the

Informatics Alumna Helps Increase Efficiency at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center

As someone who is intrigued by workflow redesign to

improve efficiency, Robin Vocke, MS '97, RN, couldn't he
happier with her position al the Greater Baltimore
Medical Center, where she has servet! as an informatics
nurse analyst for tile past five years.

"I am interested not only in minimizing time spent on

documenting, but also in eliminating redundancies and
improving standardization of terminology across the
organization," says Vocke, a 1997 graduate of the
School of Nursing's nursing informatics (Nil program.
"In the end, we must automate the best process, not
the best paper form."

In her role as an informatics nurse analyst, Vocke uses

her clinical knowledge and experience from 18 years
of bedside nursing to analyze and automate clinical
processes. She is currently working with a group of
inpatient nurses to document existing work flow,
define standard nursing assessments, and identify
requirements for point-of-care devices to prepare for
the implementation of a patient care documentation
system. This pre-work phase will set the stage for the
design and construction of the new system

"It is important that each unit identify step-by-step
what they do, for example, when they admit patients
or administer a medication," says Vocke. "We must
understand what everyone is doing and make sure
each unit is doing the same thing. This will make the
transition to the new system much easier."

 ADVANCING NURSING AND EDUCATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
continued from pg. /4
For the past few months, Vocke's role has been
split between her primary job as an analyst for the
operating room management information system
and supporting an initiative on the inpatient side
to standardize paper documentation in preparation
for computerization. This requires her to transition
quickly from an inpatient system focus to a
surgical services focus. In this role, Vocke
oversees daily system maintenance and escalates
problems to the vendor for resolution Her day-to-
day activities include developing, testing, and
validating existing and new reports for accuracy
and required content; monitoring supply costs and
usage data, and ensuring the integrity of the
database files and stored data. In addition, Vocke
holds a monthly user group meeting to discuss
unresolved projects, problems and issues, and to
educate users on product functionality.
"The operating room system is very numbers
oriented," says Vocke. "Everything has to do with
utilization data-specifically time and materials-
and evaluating the true cost of surgical cases."
Vocke's interest in computers and their
capability began when she purchased her first
home computer in 1985. The hospital where
she worked did not have a computer, so she ~e
would create work schedules, employee lists,
and other work-r~rated-i1:ems on her $le
computer, take them to work and update them
by hand, then ta'ke them back home a1nd make
revisions on her computer.
"I thought about the use of computers for
nursing and medicine, and recognized that
advances in this technology would provide
excellent tools for education and clinical care.
and the management of them," says Vocke.
As her interest in computers grew, Vocke learned
about the School's NI program, and she soon
enrolled as a master's student. She says her
experience at the School was wonderful-that the
program provided the overall framework necessary
for everyday work in nursing informatics. But most
of all, Vocke says the faculty were able to meld
instruction in nursing practice, computer science,
and information systems into a meaningful
profession Her education provided her with the
knowledge and skills to be the vital link between
the nursing users and the technology staff.
"Even though my role has changed from a
bedside nurse to a high-tech position in nursing
informatics, my focus has not changed," says
Vocke. "I am still working to improve patient
outcomes, but in a different way. If the practice
of nursing is enhanced through the use of
computer tools, the patient will benefit through
improved decision-making, care planning, and
delivery."

The three strategic initiatives include preparing nursing
leaders to shape and influence the profession and the
health care environment; establishing centers of
excellence that build on current strengths and market
needs; and fostering a positive environment for faculty,
staff, and students. In a~dition,
, the plan delineates
three to four goals aimed at achieving the initiatives.
"The School of Nursing will integrate this plan into the
life of the School through1leadership, resource allocation,
communication, monitorihg and reporting, evaluation,
and recognition," said Dean Allan, noting that the plan
includes a set of three-year tactics for implementation of
each goal I
To this end, a member uf the School's administrative
council was appointed to direct the implementation

designated School committees. other members of
the administrative council, and external partners
before the council reviews and accepts various
action plans.
Part of the plan includes an evaluation component that
focuses on four measurement factors, The School's goal
of shaping the health care delivery system will be
measured by the number of innovative practice models
it has developed and implemented within the faculty
practices. Other measurements will include the number
of centers of excellence and endowed chairs established
within the plan's period. as well as the faculty's level of
involvement in government agencies and the number of
students actively involved.
Dean Allan stressed that implementing the plan will be
a team effort involving faculty, staff, and students.
"We can track our outcomes, know the progress we are
making, and change what needs to be changed and
perhaps move the School from its top 10 position into
the top five," said Dean Allan. "I know that we have
the talent, commitment, and resources to actualize our
2006 vision for the School"

Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
infants are breastfed at least one year, yet
many women go back to work by the time their
infants are only three months old.
According to Dean Allan, women often cease to
breastfeed their infants when they return to

they can use a breast pump to express milk,
refrigerate-it, and take it home for their infants.

 McCready Inducted into the
Maryland Women's Hall of Fame
Esther E.l\1cCready, DIN '53, the first Afrimll-Ameriwn
to gain admittance 10 tile 5cllool of Nursing, \Vas one of
five outetonaing Marvtand women inducted il110 the
2004 Maryland H'omell's Hall of Fame at a ceremony
held 011 March 23 in. Annapolis.
A Baltimore native, McCready was admitted to tile
School in 1950 at a time when African-Americans
were not admitted But this feat did not come
easily. After being denied admission to the School,
and with the help of her attorney Thurgood Marshall
(who had already gained prominence for his work
with the NAACP), McCready sued for admission to
Maryland's school. On April 14, 1950, the
Maryland Court of Appeals ruled in her favor and
she won the right to attend the University of
Maryland School of Nursing.
[,,'h,', McCmldy, IJJN 'S3 :h:!'t)i., wdcmncd to tl", ,'1.J(;'yirmd
\ l..'(mJCI1', l-IajJ of !'i;me iJy Delegate Shlrhy ."'uthri!l·J'"llilJrII,
page 36
This ruling only marked the beginning of McCready's
struggle for Justice and equality. During her years at
the School, she faced students who were hostile to
her, professors who ignored her, and supervisors who
attempted to sabotage her work Yet, through it all,
she maintained a quiet dignity and determination
that could not be defeated. Upon her graduation in
1953, she passed the Maryland State Nursing
Boards on her first attempt and began a career that
included nursing, teaching, and public speaking.
She worked for several hospitals, health centers, and
universities in Baltimore and New York.
A trained opera singer who holds a master's degree
in music, McCready has traveled as part of the
chorus with opera singers. She sang in the
Metropolitan Opera's production of Porgy and Bess
and toured with opera singer Grace Bumbry. At one
point in her career, she taught Raven-Symone, the
child-actress who played Olivia on The Cosby Show
and the current star of Disney's That's So Raven.
Described as a trailblazer and a pioneer, McCready's
courage and determination helped open the doors
for generations of African-American nursing
students, for whom she has served as a mentor and
role model Today, the School of Nursing boasts a
minority enrollment of more than one-third of the
student population, the largest component being
Africa n-American.
"while Esther McCready doesn't think of herself as a
pioneer, but just as someone who had the inner strength
to do what she had to do, her legacy and impact leave
little doubt that a pioneer is precisely what she is," says
Dean Janet Allan. ;'We are honored to count her among
our cadre of distinguished alumni, and we congratulate
H5.'\' '80 her for this extraordinary achievemerrt."
Established in 1985 by the Maryland Commission for
Women and the Women Legislators of Maryland, the
Maryland Women's Hall of Fame honors Maryland
women who have made unique and lasting
contributions to the economic, political, cultural, and
social life of the state, and who provide visible models
of achievement for tomorrow's female leaders.
