DEAN’S 

MESSAGE 

Dear Alumni and Friends, 

In all the news we have been hearing for months about 

President Obama’s goal to reform the American healthcare 

system, one thing is very clear: nurses will play a major role 

in the final outcome. As the clinicians and practitioners at 

the frontlines of care in their communities, the scientists 

who build upon a research foundation for evidencebased 

practice, the administrators who establish policy 

and protocols, and the teachers and mentors who impart 

knowledge and direction to a new generation, nurses are 

absolutely vital to this national debate, and their influence 

will be felt for many years to come. 

Of course, this is not the first time that nurses have played 

such a critical role in a national movement that will shape 

the lives of millions. Nor will it be the last. Frances Payne 

Bolton, along with influential nurses supporting her, helped 

bring about the passage of the Bolton Act of 1943, which 

established the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps and addressed 

the critical nursing shortage during World War II. More 

than twenty years later, she and nurse leaders pushed for 

the passage of the landmark Nurse Training Act of 1964, 

which provided $300 million in federal support to nursing 

education in order to enable more talented individuals 

to enter our proud profession. The theme behind these 

significant acts was this: The more nurses there are, the 

better the overall health of our nation. 

Needless to say, times have changed. Today, millions of 

Americans suffer from inadequate health care. Because of 

the state of our national economy, millions more are only 

beginning to experience the effects of unemployment in their 

efforts to secure quality care. However, nurses are still at the 

forefront in advocating for quality health care and health 

promotion services that are available, accessible, caring, 

affordable, competent, continuous, and integrated. 

Nurses believe that all human beings are entitled to be 

treated with respect and dignity. All of us who work in the 

healthcare system have an important part to play in the 

ongoing debate about whether health care is a basic human 

right or a privilege. As members of the nursing profession, 

it is difficult for us to deny that without something as 

fundamental as health care, it is virtually impossible to truly 

excel as an advanced society. 

Nurses will always be beacons of leadership and compassion 

in the pursuit of quality health care. As a profession, 

regardless of our political or philosophical stance, we can 

agree that we have a unique opportunity to help ensure that 

the national conversation remains civil, respectful, and, most 

of all, beneficial to our patients. 

Let us continue our involvement and vigilance, 

May L. Wykle, PhD, RN, FAAN, FGSA

Fellow Friends & Fellow Alumni, 

2 The Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing Case Western Reserve University 

I am so happy to greet you at the start of this 2009-2010 academic year. I think it’s hard 

to believe that only one year ago, our financial future as a nation was on the brink of 

the greatest recession in most of our remembered history. That reality being ever present 

today — the effects of unclear communication, unsafe lending practices, and risky 

ventures — I write to you with one simple message: I am so very proud of the Frances 

Payne Bolton School of Nursing, its faculty and staff, its students, and most of all, its 

alumni. 

It is because of you that we not only met, but surpassed our fundraising goals and have 

therefore ensured that the education our current and future nursing leaders receive is as 

strong as ever. Because of your support of both the more recent $1,000 “BSN Stimulus 

Package” to each freshman, and the ongoing gift of Bolton scholarships to all students, 

they have been able to pursue their goals of a nursing education at one of the finest 

universities in the country. If only you all could have seen how awestruck and thankful 

they were at your willingness to invest in them! 

That continued investment in our future is my ongoing request to you. I ask for the 

investment of your time as a mentor, where your knowledge and ability to listen to a 

student encourages the flame of passion, compassion, and the desire to lead others to 

better health outcomes. I ask for the investment of your ideas for how we can better 

work with you to engage our communities and advocate for those in our charge. I ask 

for the financial investment from you, like the investment we saw at this past Alumni 

Celebration 2009, and the example above that spurs on the dreams of our students and 

forms the basis for sound research and nursing practice. It is my commitment to you, as 

this year’s FPB Alumni Association Board President, to invest myself equally as much as 

the generosity you have given to me and others in FPB’s bright history. 

And while I cannot predict the direction our country will take or what the future of our 

economy will be, I can be certain of one thing: I am honored to stand alongside you as 

FPB nurses and professionals dedicated to improving quality of life, access to care, and 

healthy choices. As this year has already demonstrated, my pride in what we stand for 

only has reason to grow. 

Best wishes from your Alumni Association Board, 

Matthew Schnupp, BSN ’07, RN 

2009-2010 Alumni Association Board President

There was much to celebrate during FPB’s Alumni Celebration 

2009 as over 250 attendees joined Dean May Wykle for various 

exciting events conducted in honor of alumni. The Alumni Day 

Luncheon (pictured above) is the most popular Nursing Alumni 

Celebration event, which includes attendance by alumni, new 

graduates, guests, faculty, and staff of FPB.

Lifelong Learning 

F ollowing the Pinning Ceremony and Reception, 

generations of lifelong learners gathered at the Wolstein 

Research Building across from the nursing school for the 

educational seminar “Impact of Genetics on Family History – 

Implications for Nurses” and a Welcome Back Alumni Reception. 

The seminar, which provided one nursing contact hour to 

attendees, was presented by FPB’s own Assistant Professor Mary T. 

Quinn Griffin, PhD ’01, MSN ’93. 


At the Welcome Back 

Alumni Reception, more 

than 100 alumni mingled with 

classmates and friends. The Class of 

1959 had a special 50th Reunion 

gathering where classmates looked 

at memory books, shared photos, 

and watched a slideshow from 

their time as student nurses. Dean 

Wykle also addressed the class 

and presented each attending 

50th Reunion alumna with a 

commemorative 50-Year Graduate 

pin as a tribute from FPB.

O n Saturday, May 16, the Alumni Luncheon, which 

is the most prominent and highly-attended event of each 

Alumni Celebration weekend, attracted alumni and graduates 

from 29 states and three countries to The InterContinental 

Hotel & Conference Center at the Cleveland Clinic campus 

nearby. The 241 attendees included 168 alumni with guests, 

52 graduates and 21 student and staff volunteers. A total of 

85 alumni and graduates traveled in from outside of Ohio 

to participate in the festivities. The 2009 Alumni Association 

Awards were also given to three outstanding FPB alumni 

during the event (see pages 16-18).

University President Barbara R. Snyder gave a special address to the nurses 

at the Alumni Luncheon. “My life has been touched in a personal way by the 

nursing profession,” she shared. “In fact, my only sister, mother-in-law, and 

three of my four sisters-in-law are nurses. I know first-hand the critical role 

of nurses in healthcare delivery, and I am proud to be associated with the 

Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing.” 

“FPB continues to earn the reputation of being one 

of the best nursing schools in the nation.” 

Class of BSN ‘59 members enthusiastically rang 

bells in unison every time their 50th Reunion 

Class was mentioned

Distinguished Alumna 

lynore dutton deSilets, Edd, BSn ’64, rn-BC 

The Distinguished Alumna Award is the highest honor given by the FPB Alumni Association to an 

alumna/us who has demonstrated continuous, outstanding, creative and exemplary contributions to the 

discipline of nursing or to healthcare. 

Dr. Lyn DeSilets is assistant dean 

and director of Continuing 

Education in Nursing and Health 

Care in the College of Nursing at 

Villanova University. She attended 

Miami University then received her 

BSN from the Frances Payne 

Bolton School of Nursing in 1964. 

She received an MSN from the 

University of Pennsylvania in 1978 

with a focus on adult health and 

illness, and an EdD from Temple 

University in 1990. 

Dr. DeSilets began her career in 

clinical practice and then served as 

an instructor in diploma, associate 

degree and baccalaureate degree 

nursing programs. For the past 30 

years at Villanova University, she 

has developed a nationally 

recognized program in continuing 

education that has established partnerships with the 

pharmaceutical and insurance industries, healthcare 

organizations, corporations, nursing organizations and 

health care delivery supporters. She created the highly 

regarded Role Excellence post-master’s certificate course 25 

years ago, which provides a forum for nurse executives to 

discuss their issues. She shares her knowledge globally, 

speaking to audiences in such places as Italy and Russia. 

She also was a consultant on the development of the 

Russian continuing education model. Most recently, Dr. 

Silets was an invited consultant for the Ministry of Health, 

Singapore, for both the National University Hospital and 

the SingHealth cluster. In 2007, she was one of only six 

nurses invited to attend the conference sponsored by the 

Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, “Continuing Education in the 

Health Professions: Improving Healthcare Through 

Lifelong Learning.” 


Dr. DeSilets has supported nursing professional 

development in her position as associate editor for The 

Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, and through 

her membership on the National Board for Certification of 

Hospice and Palliative Nurses (as the sole non-hospice 

certified member) and her long-term leadership in the 

Pennsylvania Nurses Association. She has been a recipient 

of the association’s Education Award. 

“To receive a tribute from the school that 

allowed me to do what I have done in my 

career is really a great honor.” 

— Dr. Lynore Dutton DeSilets, on receiving the 2009 

Distinguished Alumna Award at the Alumni Luncheon 

Since the mid-1980s, she has provided leadership in both 

certification and accreditation for the American Nurses 

Credentialing Center (ANCC). She was chair of the 

content expert panel responsible for the ANCC certification 

exam in nursing professional development. She is also one 

of the longest standing ANCC accreditation appraisers and 

is currently a member of the Commission on Accreditation. 

Her expertise has been sought by the ANCC for taskforces 

such as those that revised the ANCC accreditation manual 

and developed the criteria for the prestigious “Premier” 

designation for exemplary CNE providers. 

Dr. DeSilets has shared her expertise through articles in 

refereed journals, books and presentations. She is a 

founding member of the Professional Nurse Educators 

Group and is working on the development of a repository 

for the history of continuing education. She is committed 

to the professional development of the next generation of nurses.

Award for Excellence 

Constance G. Visovsky, Phd ’02, rn, aPrn-nP 

The Award for Excellence recognizes an alumna/us who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and 

achievement in nursing, and has made significant contributions in nursing or related areas of healthcare. 

Dr. Constance Visovsky is an associate professor of nursing 

and director of the Master’s Program at the University of 

Nebraska Medical Center, College of Nursing. 

She received her BSN in 1994 and her MSN as an acute 

care nurse practitioner in oncology in 1995 at the 

University of Rochester School of Nursing in New York. 

Shortly after graduation with her master’s degree, a job 

change for her husband brought her to Cleveland, Ohio, 

where she became a clinical instructor at the Frances Payne 

Bolton School of Nursing. During her time at FPB, she was 

influenced by a cadre of strong nursing leaders and 

mentors. She recalls that Dr. Linda Workman provided her 

with a solid foundation as a nurse educator as she strove to 

become an expert teacher and clinician. Dr. Workman also 

encouraged her to enter the doctoral program and assisted 

her in securing a prestigious scholarship from the American 

Cancer Society. 

During her PhD coursework, Dr. Visovsky was exposed to 

an enormous amount of nursing research being done at 

FPB. The strong mentoring she received during her 

doctoral studies helped shape her as a nurse scientist. 

Dr. Visovsky learned research firsthand as the project 

director for Dr. Shirley Moore and Dr. Patricia Brennan on 

their study “HeartCare”, which implemented a program of 

internet-derived recovery information for patients who had 

undergone coronary artery bypass surgery. She feels she was 

privileged to learn research from talented senior researchers 

who willingly shared their time and insights. Dr. Visovsky 

credits these experiences and close working relationships 

with Dr. Workman and Dr. Moore for the success she has 

been able to achieve in her academic career. 

Dr. Visovsky continued to work as a 

nurse practitioner throughout her 

studies, and her patient experiences 

helped her to define the challenges 

faced by patients as they undergo 

treatment for cancer. Her research 

interest in chemotherapy-induced 

peripheral neuropathy grew out of 

her experience as a nurse 

practitioner. She continues to 

practice and is caring for women 

with breast cancer at the University 

of Nebraska Medical Center. 

Her career progression included 

postdoctoral study supported by the 

Translational Research Oncology 

Grant at Case Western Reserve 

University, which culminated in 

securing funding for her first 

research project, “Strength Training 

for Biotherapy-induced Muscle 

Weakness”, from the National Cancer Institute. Currently, 

she is PI of a Dean’s Cancer Initiative Pilot Study titled, 

“Heading Off Peripheral Neuropathy with Exercise 

(HOPE).” The study is testing a home-based aerobic and 

strength training exercise program both during and after 

taxane-based chemotherapy in women with breast cancer to 

prevent or modify chemotherapy-induced peripheral 

neuropathy. Dr. Visovsky has been appointed to a National 

Cancer Institute grant review panel and is recognized by 

the National Cancer Institute as a leader in the area of 

chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and cancer 

symptom management.

Reunion Challenge 

The Reunion Challenges provides reunion classes with the 

opportunity to commemorate their special reunion 

2009 

milestones by making class gifts to the school. The Reunion 

Challenge is part of the FPB Annual Fund, and is used to help raise 

money for critical programs not covered in the operating budget. 

All individual gifts made by classmates within a reunion year are 

counted toward the class gift. Alumni may make unrestricted gifts 

or direct them to specific funds of their choosing. Contributions 

may be made outright, as pledges, or as planned gifts. 

At the Alumni Luncheon during Alumni Celebration 2009, Class of 

1959 50th Reunion representatives presented Dean Wykle with a 

check for $125,645 from their Reunion Challenge winning class. 

The 55th Reunion Class of 1954 took 2nd place, raising $105,830, 

with a 58% class participation rate in the challenge. The 60th 

Reunion Class of 1949 took 3rd place, raising $33,128, with 50% 

of its members participating in the challenge. A total of $317,988 

was raised through the Reunion Challenge campaign by loyal 

reunion classes in support of the school. The reunion classes truly 

lived up to the spirit of the theme for this year’s Alumni Celebration 

weekend: Make your class shine in 2009 – and shine they did!

Donors 

Dear Alumni and Friends: 

Thank you for your unwavering support of the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing! Without your 

help, we would not have reached the 2008-2009 Annual Fund goal of $305,000. I commend our past 

Annual Fund Chair, Susan Farkas Gerard, for her leadership during a year that was challenging, to say the 

least. In times like these, scholarships are crucial for nursing students. Your support of the Annual Fund 

made it possible for more students to attend FPB. In essence, your gifts made a positive difference in the 

lives of FPB students. 

As alumni and friends of the school, you are aware of FPB’s long history of commitment to excellence. The 

school has an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit that has guided it through the years. 

I encourage you to approach your giving to the school in this same way. We have several options that make 

it easy to contribute to FPB. To make your gift online, visit us at fpb.case.edu/giving. You can also have 

your gift automatically deducted from a checking account or debited to your credit card monthly. 

On behalf of the students, I offer my sincerest thanks for your continued support of FPB. Please make your 

gift to the Annual Fund today, and know that it will have an immediate and lasting impact on FPB 

students and their careers in nursing. 

With gratitude,

Annual Fund 

• 

Not only is the Annual Fund critical to the school as it provides scholarships 

for students and critical funds for needs not covered by tuition revenue, but it 

is also a measure of the school’s success. The number of contributors to the 

Annual Fund is considered in national rankings and for accreditation 

purposes. Therefore, the Faculty/Staff “Piece of Cake Campaign” was held 

this year to encourage the FPB community to support the school Annual 

Fund. The culmination of the campaign was a cake bake-off contest with 

several faculty and staff members making cakes which were judged by a 

professional chef. Winning cakes received gift certificates as prizes. Instructor 

Kim Edwards (pictured below) received top prize for baking amazing cakes in 

the shape of a nurse and a prescription! 


ANA President & FPB Alumna 

Rebecca Patton joins President 

Obama in the Rose Garden to 

Help Urge Health Care Reform 

If you want to know what’s wrong with 

U.S. health care, ask a nurse. 

That’s what President Obama did, and he 

was joined by members of the American 

Nurses Association (ANA) in the White 

House Rose Garden Wednesday, July 15, 

2009, as he reaffirmed his commitment to 

reform and his confidence in its success. 

Rebecca M. Patton, MSN ’98, RN, 

CNOR, president of the ANA, led a 

contingent of nurses at the press conference 

representing the 2.9 million nurses in the 

United States of America. Their support 

stems from the recognition that this reform 

will allow the citizens of our nation who 

lack health insurance, or whose health 

insurance costs more than they can afford, 

to gain stability and security. Ms. Patton 

and President Obama encouraged 

lawmakers, nurses, and other healthcare 

professionals across the country to voice 

their commitment to healthcare reform. A 

nurse for nearly 30 years, Ms. Patton 

resides in Lakewood, Ohio, and was elected 

to serve her second two-year term as 

president of the American Nurses 

Association in June 2008. 

“I was mentioning to Becky [Patton] that 

when I was in the state legislature, I was 

the chairman of the Health and Human 

Services Committee, and one of my 

NEWS 

FPB NEWS 

strongest allies in Springfield, Illinois, the 

state capital there, was the nurses 

association,” President Obama said at the 

press conference. “We did a lot of work 

together to make sure that nurses were 

getting treated properly, being paid 

properly, getting the overtime they needed, 

the time off that they needed, getting the 

ratios that they needed, and so I have a 

wonderful history working side-by-side 

with all of you to make sure we have the 

best health care system in the world. And, 

as a consequence, I want to say ‘thank you’ 

for all the support you’re providing for 

health insurance reform for the American 

people. I am so pleased to be joined by all 

of you. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it 

again: I just love nurses.” 

Ms. Patton spoke passionately of the 

dangers this nation faces when adequate 

health care is not readily available. She 

discussed the flaws of the system from a 

nurse’s perspective, as a witness to the 

distress caused by denial, cancellation or 

lack of health insurance for patients. Ms. 

Patton and the ANA stand in favor of 

Obama’s health care reform as a way to 

correct the injustices the current system 

carries with it. 


From Education to Vaccination: 


BSN students Marisa Ross, Nick Frank, and Leigh Ann McKee compare 

notes from their first campus H1N1 nasal spray vaccine clinic. 

Nursing students staff campus H1N1 nasal spray 

clinics; dispel myths about the virus and the vaccine 

Undergraduate students at Case Western Reserve University’s 

Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing (FPB) are no strangers to 

community service. In fact, each year, among other services, they 

provide more than 20,000 hours of health care to Cleveland-area 

school children. During their study at FPB, they also engage in 

public health projects across the country and around the world.

Their latest effort, however, is a little closer 

to home. Bachelor of Science in Nursing 

(BSN) and pre-licensure Graduate 

Entry/New Career in Nursing students 

are administering the H1N1 influenza 

nasal spray vaccine to students, staff, and 

faculty on campus, in conjunction with 

the University Health Service. 

“It’s a great opportunity for our nursing 

students to get real-world experience 

around a major public health issue,” says 

Irena L. Kenneley, PhD, APRN-BC, CIC, 

assistant professor at FPB and coordinator 

of the nursing student-run vaccination clinics. 

On Wednesday, Oct. 28, the Case 

Western Reserve community took 

advantage of the opportunity to receive 

the free live nasal spray vaccinations, with 

more than 500 individuals taking part in 

the first few hours of the first clinic. 

Students said they expected the number 

of patients at the remaining clinics to be 

even higher once word spread about the 

quick and painless procedure. 

“At first people don’t know what to 

expect,” said Marisa Ross, a junior from 

Pittsburgh, PA, during a clinic outside 

The FPB nursing team after a successful first clinic. 

Miss McKee demonstrates a nasal spray vaccine. 

Frohring Auditorium. “We’re doing a lot 

of educating today.” 

For every patient, a student nurse simply 

pumped one spray of the vaccine into 

each nostril. The virus contained in the 

vaccine is attenuated (weakened) so it will 

not cause illness. 

While people were curious about the nasal 

spray vaccine, the student nurses reported 

that paranoia about H1N1 seemed 

to have died down on campus. Other 

students were talking a lot, however, 

about health and wellness. Nick Frank, 

a junior from Kent, Ohio, explained 

that non-nursing friends came to them 

regularly for health information. 

NEWS 

“Our friends do ask us [nursing students] 

a lot of questions,” he says. “Not just 

about H1N1, but about other health 

issues as well.” 

Frank’s classmate, Leigh Ann McKee, also 

of Pittsburgh, said she was glad she had 

the chance to provide such an important 

service to the campus community. 

“This has been a great experience in really 

educating the public,” she said. “We 

learned a lot about informing patients 

and helping them understand the issues at 

hand.” 

According to Miss McKee, after learning 

more about H1N1 and the nature of 

the nasal spray, many patients seemed 

comfortable about receiving the vaccine 

and even patients who were uneasy about 

getting vaccinated were happy they had 

done so in the end. 

“It’s over quickly,” she said. “They all seem 

very relieved and say ‘I can’t believe how 

simple that was.’” 


Greg Mortenson, a nurse and best-selling author of Three Cups of Tea, was the keynote speaker at Case Western 

Reserve University’s Fall Convocation at Severance Hall on August 26, 2009. His book, chronicling his quest 

to bring education to rural villages in Pakistan and Afghanistan, was the university’s common reading selection. 

Before his address to the university community, Mr. Mortenson visited FPB to discuss with nursing students the 

critical roles nurses play as leaders, health advocates, and ambassadors of good will. “I think if we want to understand 

poverty we have to touch, smell, and taste poverty whether here at home, or halfway around the world,” he explained 

during his visit. “Nurses should practice with open ears, hearts, and minds. It’s about building relationships.” 

“Greg Mortenson’s talk at the Convocation was amazing. I think it’s probably hard for a speaker to hold an 

audience of so many young people engaged, but he seemingly had no problem. There was thoughtful listening, 

thundering applause, and – at both the beginning and end of his presentation – standing ovations. Couldn’t be 

more proud of a fellow nurse! I also really appreciated comments and questions from the current nursing students – what 

an inspiring group! Now I know we “old” alumni can trust the profession to an upcoming generation.” 

Three Cups of Tea tells of Mr. Mortenson’s attempt to climb K2 (the second-largest mountain in the world) in 

Pakistan, when he became sick and wandered to a nearby village where villagers brought him back to health. 

During his stay, he noticed that the children had no formal school to attend or tools for learning. In return for 

saving his life, Mr. Mortenson promised to return to Pakistan and build a school. To date, he has established or 

significantly supported 130 schools and vocational centers that have changed the lives of 38,000 schoolchildren 

(including more than 28,000 girls).

Alumni Lend Helping Hands 

to Increase Enrollment: 

The BSN Stimulus Package 


At student orientation in August, new 

BSN students wrote notes of thanks to 

alumni to express their appreciation for the 

contributions that helped them attend FPB. 

In January 2009, FPB school officials were looking at how the down economy would 

affect enrollment. At the time, predictions were that enrollment would sharply 

decline in private schools of nursing and, the FPB Student Services Department 

was projecting a freshman class size as small as 30, a cause for concern. Also, fewer 

scholarships and grants were available to students than in previous years. For FPB 

nursing students, the estimated annual cost is even higher than the university’s 

estimated $48,623 yearly tuition fee. Students and their families have to take on a 

tremendous burden at a time when many parents’ job situations are uncertain. A 

decline in enrollment would mean that tuition revenue goals would not be met, which 

would put a number of FPB programs and facilities at risk of being cut or reduced, 

compromising the quality of FPB nursing programs.

The question then was: In addition to 

managing tuition, plus costs for room 

and board, how would students and their 

parents come up with out-of-pocket 

money to cover immediate necessities 

critical to nursing students, like books, 

uniforms, and lab kits? “Our students 

have the costs that every other student 

has, and in addition, they have to 

have background checks, they have to 

buy uniforms, they have to have extra 

immunizations,” explained Associate 

Dean of the Undergraduate Program 

and BSN Program Director Lynn Lotas, 

“[and] they have a number of things 

that they have to do that are special, 

that add up to a lot of money.” For most 

undergraduates, the costs of books, 

supplies, and required fees are estimated 

at $1,833, but for nurses that amount 

is $2,477 per year. The solution to the 

problem was the alumni! 

FPB alumni have always been active in 

recruitment. Every year they support the 

school during FPB open houses to guide 

prospective students and visitors through 

the school and answer any questions they 

may have. As volunteers in the Alumni 

in Recruitment Program, many out-ofstate—as 

well as Ohio — alumni talk to 

admitted students to put available nursing 

programs into perspective and discuss how 

their own education at FPB has affected 

their careers, as well as their entire lives. 

The goal for these alumni is to make FPB 

the school of choice for admitted students. 

FPB alumni were concerned about 

enrollment predictions for 2009. 

Seeking to boost enrollment, the FPB 

Alumni Association discussed various 

ways to help convert accepted students 

into enrolled students. Since finances 

are a major hurdle in attending Case 

Western Reserve University, alumni 

started a fundraising campaign to provide 

additional financial support for new and 

transfer nursing students. The campaign 

was named “The BSN Stimulus Package”, 

with the idea that the money raised would 

be used to defray some of the out-ofpocket 

expenses that students have to 

bear upon enrollment. Winnie Walter, the 

2008-2009 President of the FPB Alumni 

Association Board, reached out to her 

fellow alumni and asked for their support. 

(Continued on page 28) 


The response from alumni was awe-inspiring. When alumni 

were sent a letter explaining low projected enrollment numbers 

for the incoming freshmen class, they donated money to help 

these future nurses. Assistant Dean for Alumni Relations and 

Development Nora Hennessy said, “Alumni donated whatever 

they could. A uniform is $45, so there were people who sent 

in $45 or $90, knowing that students need two. I think they 

pushed themselves to say ‘You know, I can help a student with 

the money for two uniforms.’” 

Because of the generosity of FPB alumni, the Alumni 

Association was able to offer every student enrolled in Fall 2009 

a gift of $1,000 to be used for nursing uniforms, books, lab kits, 

etc. Potential new nursing students were sent letters explaining 


the “stimulus package,” and projected enrollment totals then 

increased enough to meet tuition revenue goals, thanks largely 

to the generosity of alumni. “We also had a lot of response from 

parents, who were very emotional, not about the amount of 

dollars but the implication of caring from alumni,” said Ms. 

Hennessy. When Alumni Association Board President Winnie 

Walter spoke to incoming students on Freshman Friday in 

Spring, there was an overwhelming response to the outreach by 

alumni. Because of the BSN Stimulus Package offering, many 

freshmen and their families felt that FPB was a nurturing and 

supportive place to receive an outstanding education. This 

effort spearheaded by FPB alumni thus significantly increased 

enrollment for the Class of 2013 to a strong 72 students.

During the new student orientation on 

August 18, 2009, the 2009-2010 Alumni 

Association Board President Matthew 

Schnupp told incoming students about 

the supportive alumni of the school. 

When he asked the students to raise their 

hands to indicate whether the BSN 

Stimulus Package had affected their 

decisions to come to FPB, virtually all 

hands went up. This response from the 

students is a testimony to the 

compassionate, loyal, and generous alumni 

of FPB who have set an example to these 

future alumni in supporting FPB students. 

The Class of 2013 has expressed their 

gratitude personally with handwritten 

letters — some of which are pictured here — 

to the alumni who made it possible for 

them to attend FPB. All of us at FPB 

appreciate and are proud of the incredible, 

hands-on alumni who bolster the school. 

Thank you again for your support and 

generosity! 


RESEARCH atFPB 

As an influential nursing research institution, FPB aims to answer society’s 

enduring questions about healthcare and solve its greatest healthcare 

challenges. Faculty and students at FPB are seeking to advance human 

health with investigation and discovery through a range of ongoing 

research activities. 

In June 2009, the school published the latest edition of 

Research at FPB, a magazine that focuses on current faculty 

projects as well as initiatives by postdoctoral students. The 

theme for this year’s publication was “Research for Complex 

Problems: Finding Answers to Help Vulnerable Populations.” 

As Dean May Wykle wrote in her introduction, “If a society 

should be evaluated by how it treats its weakest members, then 

the significance of this research cannot be overestimated.” All of 

the investigations described in the publication focused on this 

challenge. 

Here are some of the research projects featured in the magazine: 

Pulling Together to Help the Community: Research Committed to 

Improve Health of At-Risk Populations 

Marilyn Lotas, PhD, RN, Associate Dean for the Undergraduate 

Program, and BSN Program Director 

Diana Morris, PhD, RN, FAAN, FGSA, Florence Cellar 

Associate Professor of Gerontological Nursing and Executive 

Director, University Center on Aging & Health 

Cheryl Killion, PhD, RN, Associate Professor 


Helping improve health in at-risk community groups is a high 

priority for researchers at FPB. Dr. Lotas is investigating the 

disturbing trend of children developing high blood pressure. Dr. 

Morris has focused on how the use of reiki (a stress management 

technique which originated in Japan) reduces stress among 

family caregivers of dementia patients in the community. And 

Dr. Killion is expanding her research on barriers to good health 

in public housing. 

Encouraging Mother’s Milk: Helping Premature Babies Get the 

Nourishment They Need 

Donna Dowling, PhD, RN, Associate Professor and Program 

Director, Post-MSN/DNP Program 

Dr. Dowling’s research has demonstrated that women can be 

motivated to pump breast milk for their premature babies if 

healthcare professionals approach them appropriately. “We need 

to tell mothers that their own breast milk is as important as any 

medication we can give the premature baby and ask for their 

help,” she says.

The Unseen: Caregivers for Mentally Ill 

Need Resourcefulness for Success 

Jaclene Zauszniewski, PhD, RN-BC, 

FAAN, Kate Hanna Harvey Professor in 

Community Health Nursing, Associate 

Dean for Doctoral Education, and PhD 

Program Director 

Teaching resourcefulness—coping 

strategies to help people overcome 

obstacles—to women facing the burden of 

caring for mentally ill family members may 

lighten their load and maintain optimal 

quality of life, as Dr. Zauszniewski has 

found. “These coping skills predict 

positive health outcomes for caregivers, 

and they are crucial to their continued 

ability to provide care,” she explains. 

Mental Well-Being of Mothers with 

Technology-Dependent Children Impacts 

Family Functioning 

Valerie Boebel Toly, PhD, RN, CPNP, 

Instructor 

Dr. Toly has expanded her dissertation 

study to family caregivers of children 

dependent on such technology as 

ventilators and gastronomy tubes. Most 

often, mothers are the primary caregivers 

of these children, and how well the family 

functions largely depends on a mother’s 

depressive symptoms. “These women 

really are profiles of courage,” she says. 

“Their stories inspired me to continue 

this work.” 

The New Generation of Caregivers: 

Helping Grandmothers Who Find 

Themselves Back in Parenting Roles 

Carol Musil, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor 

More and more grandmothers are 

unexpectedly finding themselves 

actively helping to raise grandchildren. 

Dr. Musil’s multiyear study has found 

that at a time when their peers may 

be retiring and enjoying their golden 

years, many grandmothers are forced 

by the problems of their adult children 

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHER 

TAkES HOME TOP PRIzES 

Lauren Flaherty 

A senior in the Bachelor of Science 

in Nursing (BSN) program, Lauren 

Flaherty worked with her mentor 

and advisor, Dr. Elizabeth Damato, 

on a project titled “Relationships 

Among Sleep Duration, Sleep Quality, 

Fatigue, and Depression in Fathers of 

Twins.” At the 2009 Midwest Nursing 

Research Society Conference held in 

Minneapolis, Ms. Flaherty’s research 

won First Place in the Undergraduate 

Student Poster Competition and, even 

more notably, a Citation Award for 

overall best abstract at the conference. 

Her abstract beat out not only those of 

her undergraduate peers, but also those 

submitted by graduate students and 

faculty. 

“My favorite nursing course so far has been pediatrics critical care,” Ms. Flaherty 

says. “It really demands quick, on-your-feet thinking, and it worked as a kind of 

bridge to my research study, where I had the opportunity to talk to parents and 

teach them about proper child care.” 

Dr. Damato provided Ms. Flaherty with some of the data sets from her own 

research study on parents of twins. Ms. Flaherty followed up by meeting with 

fathers of twins to interview them about their sleeping habits and feelings of 

depression. In return, she offered tips on raising their newborns. She found that 

they were very receptive to her suggestions, despite the fact that Ms. Flaherty is not 

a parent herself. 

“Most of them are happy to get such nursing advice, especially when twins are 

involved,” she says. “Both parents are particularly under a lot of stress.” 

Ms. Flaherty came to FPB from Tyngsboro, Massachusetts. After she receives her 

BSN in December, she is considering returning to FPB for an advanced degree. 

into multigenerational living arrangements, increased child care demands, or even 

the complete assumption of parenting duties. “Many of them experience depressive 

symptoms and some feel overwhelmed,” she says. “This study examines various kinds of 

social support, resourcefulness, and interventions that may help grandmother caregivers 

achieve better mental health.” 



Research at FPB cont. 

SEEING PATIENT CARE IN 

A WHOLE NEW LIGHT 

Change the lighting; improve your health. That’s a strategy Dr. Patricia Higgins and 

others have begun to test in a long-term care facility where daylight, which has proven 

health benefits, is not readily available. 

The researchers have removed some standard fluorescent lighting and installed new 

blue-white lamp prototypes developed by General Electric scientists at the company’s 

Nela Park campus in Cleveland. 

Research team members hypothesize that periods of blue light, like daylight, can help 

regulate sleep-wake rhythms, which are linked to the 24-hour biochemical circadian 

cycle of the hormone melatonin. Depending on the level of this hormone, people are 

awake or sleepy. 

The researchers want to regulate their wakefulness and sleepiness by regulating the 

amount of exposure to blue (wakefulness) and yellow (sleepiness) light. By increasing 

exposure to blue-white light during the day and yellow-white light in the evening, the 

researchers hope to help patients regulate their sleep-wake cycles so that they are more 

awake during the day and more asleep at night. 

Dr. Higgins, an associate professor at FPB, says the project may prove to be especially 

beneficial for people suffering from dementia. 

In a recently conducted pilot study with five male patients, each suffering from 

dementia and living in a long-term care facility, the researchers installed the blue-white 

lights in a room where most residents gathered for meals and daytime activities. 

“We wanted to see whether lighting could affect the participants’ sleep-wake rhythms,” 

says Dr. Higgins. “While the group was small, the results show promise in raising

Alumni Spotlight 

FPB Alumna Becomes President of 

American Psychiatric Nurses Association 

w 

Mary D. Moller, DNP ’06, ARNP, APRN, PMHCNS-BC, CPRP, FAAN, 

associate professor and specialty director for Psychiatric-Mental Health 

Nursing at the Yale University School of Nursing, became the 2009-2010 

president of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) in October. 

Dr. Moller recently spoke with FPB Nursing about two major experiences in 

her life: Attending FPB for a doctorate in nursing practice (DNP), and her 

feelings on becoming the APNA president. 

Dr. Moller: “I would like to start by saying that attending FPB at Case 

Western Reserve University was a life-changing event for me. I thoroughly 

loved every aspect of going back to school in my mid-50s to pursue the DNP. 

I was actually quite sad when it was over as it was so stimulating and 

rewarding. I like to refer to what doctoral education accomplished for me at 

this phase in my life as that it deconstructed my old way of thinking about 

things and reconstructed my thought process into a less reactive, more global, 

and more proactive way of approaching problem-solving and thinking about 

things in general. The faculty was collectively skilled in helping shape my 

ability to ponder and question in a more meaningful way. My professional 

career was definitely affected in a most positive manner. The respect that is 

shown a graduate of the FPB program is phenomenal. Since graduating I have 

been inducted into the American Academy of Nursing and been named 

program director of the Psychiatric Nursing Master’s Program at the Yale 

University School of Nursing. Neither of those professional accomplishments 

would have happened had I not possessed the prestigious DNP degree, from 

Case Western Reserve University. Additionally, when I make presentations and 

consult around the country, there is just a different level of deference paid to 

me by colleagues. I feel like I’m taken more seriously than before I attended FPB.” 

“Regarding stepping into the role of president of the APNA, I am very 

humbled and awed to have been elected president. I am looking forward to the 

next year with great anticipation. These are serious times as we embrace health 

care reform and the operationalization of mental health parity. The theme of 

my presidency is Psychiatric Nurses: Champions of Advocacy. I am personally 

committed to advocacy both for psychiatric nurses in all areas – education, 

research, policy, and practice – as well as the patients we care for. We are facing 

a critical juncture in time related to the future of psychiatric nursing as we 

determine our organizational plan for the implementation of the APRN 

Consensus document and continue to define and refine our complex role. I’m 

committed to furthering the cause of the integration of mental health care into 

primary care as well as to seeing the incorporation of primary care into the 

ongoing care of patients with serious and persistent mental illnesses. APNA is 

an over 6,500 member-driven organization with a strong infrastructure and 

member outreach program, and being the president as we begin a new decade 

will definitely be the highlight and peak of my career as a nurse that will reach 

40 years in 2011.” 

Dr. Moller is dually certified as a clinical specialist in adult 

psychiatric-mental health nursing and as psychiatric 

rehabilitation practitioner. She received a bachelor’s degree in 

nursing from Mount Marty College, Yankton, SD, in 1971; a 

master’s degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from the 

University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing in 

1982; and a doctor of nursing practice degree from Case 

Western Reserve University in 2006. She received the FPB 

Dean’s Legacy Award for her research entitled “The Lived 

Experience of the Patient with Schizophrenia in the Postpsychotic 

Adjustment Phase of Recovery from Psychosis.” From 

1992-2008, she was owner and clinical director of The 

Suncrest Wellness Center, an outpatient advanced practice 

nursing psychiatric clinic in Spokane, WA. She is also president 

of NurSeminars, Inc, an international consulting firm. Dr. 

Moller also serves as a consultant to the Israeli Ministry of 

Health, Division of Psychiatric Nursing, and the Institute of 

Mental Health in Singapore. She has authored or co-authored 

over 40 articles and book chapters including a pharmacology 

review book, and is on the Editorial Review board of the 

“Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association.” For 

the past 20 years, she has been a very active member of the 

American Psychiatric Nurses Association. Dr. Moller has been a 

member of the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau 

International, since 1982. She has served on two task forces at 

the National Institute of Mental Health, and has received 

numerous honors and awards. She has made over 900 

professional and research presentations in 45 states and 

internationally since 1980. She and her husband, Chuck, have 

been married for 38 years and have two grown sons, Brock, 36 

and Scott 34. Her first grandchild, Braden Larson Moller was 

born on January 14, 2008.

for Borgess and Bronson Hospitals in

Department at Borgess Medical Center, and 

for the American Red Cross blood banks. 

Mary (Snyder) Kelleway, MN ’42, died

Betty Baus Newkirk, DN ’44, died on

Shirley Lee Small, DN ’46, died on May 

15, 2009, in Lewiston, Maine. She is

Helen Rush 

Walton, BSN ’46, 

died on June 3, 

2009, at the age 

of 105, in Elkhart, 

Indiana. She was 

born on June 10, 

1903, in Oberon, 

North Dakota, 

to Harry Rush and Cora Belle Baker. 

Her father had left Elkhart, Indiana, 

to homestead in the late 1800s. After 

her mother died when she was eight 

years old, the family moved to Montana 

where Helen grew up and completed 

her nurse’s training in Great Falls. She 

then moved to Denver to work as a 

nurse and married Charton Schreiner. 

They had a daughter, Shirley, who died 

when she was two years old. Charton 

also passed away within the year. Helen 

then moved to the Rush hometown of 

Elkhart in 1935. She did some study in 

the new field of public health, worked as 

the head of Red Cross Nursing Services 

and became the first full-time school 

nurse. In 1942, during World War II, 

she volunteered in response to the call 

for nurses to join the Army Nurse Corps. 

Because of her public health training, 

she was immediately made an officer and 

she asked to go overseas to more directly 

help the soldiers. She commanded 170 

nurses and set up several hospitals. She 

vividly remembered the casualties from 

the Battle of the Bulge which raged quite 

near her hospital. She also remembered 

getting to know some of the high ranking 

officers, including General Omar Bradley. 

At the end of the war, despite being 

one of the highest ranking officers in 

the Army Nurse Corps, she decided to 

leave the military and return to her real 

love, school nursing. She attended Case 

Western Reserve University, receiving a 

bachelor of science in nursing degree and 

ultimately acquired a master of science 

in nursing degree from the University

FR NTLINE/FPB 

The FPB flight nursing model is one of a kind in that it places 

nurse practitioners at the site of an accident and enables them to 

begin interventions based on diagnostic reasoning and scientific 

inquiry before and during flight. Beginning interventions 

immediately — instead of after a patient arrives at the hospital — not 

only saves more lives, but improves patients’ long-term quality 

of life. When the opportunity to internationally disseminate 

the FPB flight nursing model presented itself, FPB seized it. 

As a result, the model is implemented at the Cleveland Clinic 

Foundation and now in Japan. 

Christopher Manacci, MSN ’03, ACNP-C, CCRN, founder and 

clinical director of the National Flight Nurse Academy at FPB, 

is helping to change the traditional role of nurses in Japan with 

his vision for flight nursing. “How close you live to a tertiary 

care center will make the determination of whether you survive 

your heart attack, stroke or traumatic event,” he explains. “What 

our program does, by training people at the graduate level, is 

eliminate the seven-year gap between academic research and 

clinical practice. Armed with the newest knowledge, acute care 

nurse practitioners make a diagnosis, prescribe medication, and 

perform other interventions that give the patient the immediate 

level of care that is needed out on the field.”

FPB FLIGHT NURSING MODEL DISSEMINATED 

AND IMPLEMENTED INTERNATIONALLY: 

The New Collaboration with Japan’s Aichi Medical University 

To begin disseminating the FPB flight nursing model, Mr. 

Manacci instructed at Aichi Medical University School of 

Nursing. In Japan, the concept of a nurse practitioner is 

still fairly new. Japan has long been among the world’s most 

industrialized and technologically advanced nations, and its 

universal health care system is no exception. However, Japanese 

nurses are still seeking to increase their clinical education, 

autonomy and authority. FPB’s landmark partnership with 

Japan’s Aichi Medical University has not only established the 

first graduate-level acute care nurse practitioner/flight nursing 

program in Asia, it will also enable Japan’s advanced practice 

nurses who graduate from the Aichi program to manage complex 

medical emergencies with increased knowledge, autonomy, and 

skill in critical care; therefore, beginning to help revolutionize 

nursing in Japan. The new collaboration continues to 

demonstrate that nurses are integral to bringing innovation and 

progress to the science and delivery of health care everywhere. 

Earlier this year, Satomi Suzuki, a member of the Aichi 

University nursing faculty and a registered nurse, visited FPB to 

take some courses in acute critical care and shadow the Cleveland 

Clinic’s helicopter medical transport operation, all to obtain

knowledge needed to help progress 

efforts toward developing the extension 

of FPB’s Flight Nursing program at 

Aichi. With Japan being a mountainous 

island, delivering health care to critically 

ill patients in rural areas is difficult. 

Acute care nurse practitioners arriving 

via helicopter can make the difference 

between life and death for residents in the 

interior regions of the country. Therefore, 

during her stay, Mrs. Suzuki was also 

taken by Dean Wykle, Mr. Manacci, 

and Case Western Reserve University 

President Barbara Snyder, to visit Parker 

Hannifin Corporation, the local maker 

of the Sikorsky helicopters used by many 

hospitals in their air medical transport 

programs. There, Mrs. Satomi met 

President and CEO of the corporation, 

Donald Washkewicz.

The National Flight Nurse Academy 

is supported by FPB as part of the 

Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Flight 

Nursing program. Understanding the 

program’s importance, FPB Visiting 

Committee members Allen Ford and 

Bill Bolton joined the effort several years 

ago to promote it and seek additional 

necessary funding. Mr. Bolton, the 

grandson of former Congresswoman and 

FPB benefactor Frances Payne Bolton, 

expressed, “Nurses are the ideal cultural 

ambassadors…not just in terms of health 

care, but also in bridging the gap between 

societies and increasing the strength of 

human relationships.” 

Mr. Bolton met several nurses from Aichi 

Medical University during their weeklong 

participation in FPB’s 7th Annual 

Flight Nursing Summer Camp, held 

August 10 – 14, 2009. An important 

part of FPB’s Flight Nursing program, 

the camp provides an opportunity for 

students within the graduate program 

to seek specialized training in caring for 

critically ill and injured patients in an 

unstructured environment. On August 

14th, the final day of this year’s camp, 75 

people volunteered to simulate serious 

injuries from an earthquake in a disaster 

drill at CWRU’s Squire Valleevue Farm. 

The ‘wounded’ were treated for massive 

blood loss, internal injuries, fractures, as 

well as various other complex medical 

emergencies. Since most of the classroom 

preparation provides neither the realism 

nor the urgency of such a catastrophic 

situation, CWRU’s farm property was 

transformed to replicate an earthquake 


FPB Executive Associate Dean for Academic Programs Patricia Underwood, Chris Manacci, 

and Bill Bolton with visiting Japanese nurses 

disaster area. ‘Victims’ were placed 

throughout the farm, screaming and 

simulating agony from their injuries. 

While at a special dinner at Mr. Manacci’s 

home after the camp, Mr. Bolton was 

inspired by the level of commitment 

and camaraderie that the American and 

Japanese nurses shared. “I’m a big fan of 

nurses in general, and even more so of this 

new international collaboration,” he said. 

“I have no doubt that my grandmother 

would be very proud.” 

With FPB’s relationship with Aichi 

Medical University — the National 

Flight Nurse Academy’s first international 

affiliate — now firmly in place, the FPB 

model will continue to be disseminated 

around the world. “Being a nurse is the 

greatest privilege that anybody can have, 

and our new Japanese colleagues clearly 

understand this,” Mr. Manacci said. 

“Critically ill patients may not even know 

your name but rely on you for help. And 

it’s not just help in getting a task done, 

but help to survive. I don’t think it gets 

any more powerful than that.”
