Fall 2011 – Spring 2012

Trinitas School of Nursing faculty shares

knowledge/expertise; gets grant for Sim Jr

Nancy Innella, MSN, CNOR, CNE, pediatric nursing faculty

at Trinitas School of Nursing presented her abstract on “Educating LPN-to-RN students online on Leadership & Management” at the Professional Nurse Educators Group Conference held last fall in Baltimore, MD. Ms. Innella teaches NURE 291, a blended course on

leadership and management dedicated to LPNs who are completing the RN program. She also coordinates the leadership and management component of NURE 232, the last nursing course in the generic RN program. The poster presentation generated much interest from other attendees.

Ms. Innella’s grant proposal for the acquisition of Sim Jr, a high-fidelity pediatric patient simulator from Laerdal Medical Corporation, was funded last fall by the Elizabethtown Healthcare Foundation. Sim Jr will be used for pediatric simulations by NURE 231 students to reinforce and enhance their learning in pediatric

nursing.

Congratulations, Nancy!

P. Andes, 2011 NJLN Nurse Recognition Awardee

Ms. Phoebe Andes, one of the School’s Learning/Simulation Center lab instructors, was honored by the New Jersey League for Nursing with the NJLN Nurse Recognition Award at the 2011 Gala Reception held in November at the Pines Manor. Ms. Andes was recognized for her contributions to nursing education. She was the founder and first president of the Philippine Nurses Association in New Jersey (PNA-NJ) and the Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA)and continues to be an active member of PNA-NJ’s executive board. Ms. Andes is a highly experienced nurse educator in

maternal and child health and has taught extensively in several nursing programs in NJ. Upon her retirement, Ms. Andes came to work at the School as a lab

instructor. Retirement did not deter Ms. Andes from pursuing other interests and she, together with a group of experienced Filipino nurse educators, established the Pinelands School for Practical Nursing and Allied Health and became its first director of nursing education. She travels extensively and volunteers in educational and humanitarian missions to the Philippines.

Congratulations, Phoebe!
