year long you have heard us talk about and helped us celebrate our
Centennial year. In the spring issue of this magazine, we focused
on the school’s rich history. In this issue, we focus on our
Centennial theme—The Future of Caring. Now. As we
begin a new school year, it’s appropriate for us to consider
what this theme means.
At Emory, we are not content to simply
graduate more nurses. Rather we seek to educate nurses who will
lead in changing and improving care. We are uniquely positioned
to do this important work.
The alumni, faculty, and students
featured in this issue are definitely leading the way.
Our cover story focuses on our state-of-the-art
simulation lab, the largest on campus, where we train undergraduate
and graduate nursing students in hands-on patient care and clinical
decision-making and offer a new interdisciplinary program in emergency
care for nursing and medical students.
Our faculty and students are also
improving care on an international level. Members of our faculty
were instrumental in developing the first-ever BSN curriculum for
the Eastern European nation of Georgia. Nursing senior Rebecca Wheeler
is making strides in international leadership, having represented
Emory and U.S. student nurses in Taipei as the new president of
the National Student Nurses’ Association.
Educating nursing leaders who can
improve care is not a new concept for us. We count an incredible
number of alumni as deans and directors of nursing schools, both
nationally and abroad. As you read this magazine, you will see that
these alumni, and our students and faculty, truly are The Future
of Caring. Now.
