News&Happenings Names & Faces Ora Strickland, PhD, RN, FAAN Carl Kirton, DNP, MBA, ANP, RN Lisa Rowen, DNSc, RN, CENP, FAAN Jerome Bagaporo, MSN, RN Nurse to Direct PA Patient Safety Authority Board HARRISBURG, PA—The board of directors of the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority (PPSA) named a new executive director, Regina M. Hoffman, RN, BSN, MBA, CPPS, who was formerly the director of PPSA’s Patient Safety Liaison (PSL) program. “The Authority is pleased to announce Regina as its new executive director,” said Rachel Levine, MD, chair of PPSA. As director of the PSL program, Hoffman managed eight PSLs placed regionally throughout the state. “Her grasp of the current programs the Authority is involved in” made her a good choice, Levine stated. Nurse Inducted into Researcher Hall of Fame MIAMI—Ora Strickland, PhD, RN, FAAN, the dean of Florida International University’s (FIU’s) Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing & Health Sciences, was chosen as one of 19 nurse researchers worldwide who will be inducted into the 2016 International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame this summer in Cape Town, South Africa. Fewer than 100 nursing professionals have received this prestigious honor since its inception in 2010. “I am both humbled and honored by this recognition,” Strickland said. Kirton Announced as CNO of University Hospital NEWARK, NJ—University Hospital recently announced that Carl A. Kirton, DNP, MBA, ANP, RN, will serve as its new chief nursing officer. Kirton brings a wealth of experience to the job, having served as deputy executive director and CNO at Lincoln Hospital and Mental Health Center in Bronx, N.Y., and as senior vice president of patient care services and CNO at North General Hospital in New York City. “I am very excited about teaming up with the UH nurses to heal our patients and help members of the community live healthier lives,” Kirton stated. Rowen Named CNE for UMMS BALTIMORE—Lisa Rowen, DNSc, RN, CENP, FAAN, has been named system chief nurse executive for the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS)—an accomplishment that will add a nursing voice at the system level for strategic planning, nursing workforce development and continuous clinical improvement initiatives. “Nursing is a key to our continued success, and Lisa will provide input and leadership for patient care issues,” said Robert A. Chrencik, MBA, CPA, president and chief executive officer of UMMS. Bagaporo Becomes CNO of United Hebrew NEW ROCHELLE, NY—Jerome Bagaporo, MSN, RN, has been named the new chief nursing officer at United Hebrew (UH), overseeing a department with 280 full- and part-time staff members. In his new role, Bagaporo is committed to seeing that the growing use of technology works to patients’ benefit—a fitting goal since he began his career at UH as the minimum data set and technology coordinator and was tasked with completing the electronic recording of all residents’ data. “With the transition to EHRs, nurses have a better view of what is going on with a resident with just one click,” Bagaporo said. “But we’re not removing the tender loving care that we give the residents, nor the interpersonal relationships. Those personal relationships cannot be replaced by technology, a philosophy we maintain here at United Hebrew.” Lehmann Wins ARIN Award HERNDON, VA—Not only is Sharon Lehmann, MS, APRN, CMS, a past president of the Association for Radiologic and Imaging Nursing (ARIN), now she is one of its award winners as well. Calling her a “quiet, unsung heroine” who always “engages new member interest in the association,” current ARIN president Mary Sousa, BSN, RN, presented Lehmann with the 2015 Presidential Award for Exemplary Service. Lehmann has served as the editor of the ARINVision newsletter for the past 6 years, “giving endless time and foregoing the usual compensation for this position,” Sousa noted. In addition, Lehmann has contributed handmade aprons for years for the annual ARIN silent auction, to help the association raise money. n More Nursing News READ MORE about your colleagues’ accomplishments and news around the country online at www.advanceweb. com/NurseNews. 8 ADVANCE FOR NURSES n MAY 2016 n www.advanceweb.com/Nurses
