2019 TNA-TSNA JOINT CONFERENCE | NURSES: THE REAL SUPER HEROES quality improvement, patient experience, and employee engagement. Additionally, I continue to serve in several Professional Organizations in the Chattanooga area. I am the Treasurer, Secretary, & Webmaster of the Chattanooga Council of American Organization of Nurse Leaders -Tennessee (AONL-TN), Board Member of the Tennessee Nurses Association 4th District, Webmaster of the Chattanooga Chapter of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, Governance Member of Zeta Alpha Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International and member of the Sigma International Nurse Leader Review Committee. DIRECTOR – PRACTICE – VOTE FOR ONE (1) Colleen Moss, MSN, APRN, NNP-BC District 3 Neonatal Nurse Practitioner The Monroe Carell Jr Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt Franklin I would like to be considered for a leadership position because I am interested in becoming more involved with TNA. I began my nursing career in Vanderbilt’s NICU in 2001. After two years as a bedside nurse, I joined Children’s Hospital Colorado as an neonatal nurse practitioner (NNP) in 2003. I returned to Vanderbilt to join the NNP team in 2007. I currently am a full time NNP, splitting my time between a Level IV NICU in an academic medical center and a Level II NICU in a community hospital in Columbia, TN. I am also a full-time student, and I will finish my DNP program at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in December 2019. I was awarded Outstanding DNP Student of the Year in April 2019. My interests are in teaching, professional development, and mentoring. As a DNP student, I am learning and focusing on the importance of evidence-based practice for delivery of safe, quality care to ensure the best outcomes for critically ill newborns. Ultimately, I want to utilize both my clinical and evidence-based practice knowledge to mentor new nurses at all levels in a collaborative team environment. Earning my DNP is important for me to grow as a professional and be qualified to obtain a position with increased leadership responsibility and opportunities. Nursing emphasizes a commitment to continuing education and service. I have an interest in nursing scope of practice and workforce issues. I am devoted to lobbying for full practice authority for APRNs. I have spoken with legislators in the Tennessee General Assembly regarding the need for APRN full practice authority, as Tennessee has one of the most restrictive practice environments in the United States. As an advanced practice nurse, I want to positively impact the profession through service in TNA. Laura Reed, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC District 1 Assistant Professor/FNP Concentration Coordinator University of Tennessee Health Science Center Memphis I am currently serving as the Director- Practice for TNA and am seeking a second term. During my tenure on the board, I have seen the need to expand the scope of practice for ALL nurses in Tennessee not just APRNs. I would like to continue to be a part of the work that is currently addressing this issue along with 62
2019 TNA-TSNA JOINT CONFERENCE | NURSES: THE REAL SUPER HEROES workplace violence. All nurses deserve a safe environment to work in. We need to begin to actively address the issue of workplace violence toward nurses by patients, families, and co-workers. I have been an RN in Tennessee for 33 years and have practiced as an FNP for 29 years in a variety of settings most recently in a medically underserved clinic in metropolitan Memphis. My practice interest is providing care to patients with complex medical conditions. I have established the role of nurse practitioner in three primary care clinics in the Memphis area. I am also an Assistant Professor for the UTHSC College of Nursing and am the FNP Concentration Coordinator. I am currently the president of the Greater Memphis Area Advanced Practice Nurses as well as the secretary for the Access to Care Coalition. I am a member of ANA, AANP, and NONPF. NOMINATING COMMITTEE – VOTE FOR THREE (3) Mary (Petey) Elliotte, BSEd, DNP, NP-C District 01 Clinical Associate Professor Loewenberg College of Nursing, University of Memphis Memphis I have been a member of TNA/ANA for several years but recently (May 2019) became a Tennessee resident moving from north Mississippi. I feel I am now able to be more active in TNA. I have been a Professor at the University of Memphis for 12 years helping students become professional healthcare providers, both Registered Nurses and Advanced Practice Nurses. I have, and continue to serve, on several committees at the College of Nursing which has included the Tenure & Promotions committee, various administrative interview committees, (most recently to fill the position of the Director of Simulation). As a faculty member, we attend interviews for new faculty applicants and are allowed to interview them as well. Past employment experience includes Director of Clinical Education at the Loewenberg College of Nursing at the University of Memphis in which I was responsible for interviewing and selecting adjunct faculty to augment full-time faculty. Administrative employment also includes Hospital Clinical Educator for medical-surgical/ critical care units and emergency department. Responsibilities associated with this position included assisting with evaluating registered nurse applicants. My goal is to become more active in the organization that has so much influence in my profession and utilize my experience to help that organization, as well as the other healthcare providers across the State of Tennessee. Based on my past experiences, I feel I would be a good fit for being a member of the Nominating Committee. 63
