Our journey began in 2010 when we decided to showcase and honor the rich experiences of UK nurses and create a forum for telling our stories of collaboration among interdisciplinary teams and also the invaluable partnership between the UK College of Nursing and practicing nurses at UK HealthCare®. As you explore this edition, we hope you can experience the energy, enthusiasm and optimism emanating from our teams. Dr. Heath is in her second year as the dean of the College of Nursing and has brought so much energy and passion to the faculty and students—the excitement is palpable. This mood translates to our nursing staff, many of whom are pursuing baccalaureate and graduate degrees at the College of Nursing. By the time you read this, we will have celebrated one of our major achievements—being designated once again as a Magnet system. It has been a long and sometimes difficult journey, but the benefits for our clinical, patient and staff experience outcomes and practice model maturation have been worth the navigation of our pathway. The interdisciplinary teams of practicing professionals and learners at UK HealthCare are so special. Our nursing practice is vibrant and resonates across the health system. We hope that in these pages you will feel the sense of accomplishment experienced by our teams each and every day. Our patient- and family-centered cultural transformation is accelerating as we continue to work toward a high-reliability organizational performance model that holds true to our core values. Our teams are stronger than ever and our patients and their families are reaping the rewards of our performance. UK HealthCare nurses are “leading the way for every patient, every time.” Our hope is that as you read our latest stories you see a small glimpse of the extraordinary work that occurs every day.

Numerous practicing nurses, alone or as members of interprofessional teams, are very active in scholarship—asking relevant and contemporary clinical questions—and disseminating that knowledge. We would like to recognize their contributions to the continuing evolution of evidence-based practice and our dynamic leadership model. This is a sampling of their work.

Brockopp Nursing Research Award Verona Fennelly, RN, CCRN, won this year’s Dorothy Y. Brockopp Nursing Research Award. Fennelly was honored for her research work, including “A Surveillance of Bioburden on Reusable EKG Leads,” in which she evaluates if the current system to clean reusable EKG leads is sufficient to prevent crosscontamination of pathogens and avoid hospital-acquired infections in the critically ill patient. Her hope is that a standard infection control bundle for the cleaning of EKG leads will be implemented across the UK HealthCare® enterprise and eventually expand to other institutions. This project could potentially add to the body of evidence that defines the relationship between contaminated EKG leads and hospital-acquired infections in the critically ill and injured patient. Fennelly is expected to graduate in 2017 with a BSN from the Chamberlain College of Nursing. After completing her general nurse training and working as an RN at the County & City Infirmary in Waterford City, Ireland, she emigrated in 1987 and worked for Milton Hospital in Massachusetts. Since then, Fennelly has worked for UK HealthCare in a variety of settings but currently works in the trauma/surgical services. She serves as a board member for Heart to Home, a local adoption agency, and as a mock examiner for medical science students practicing for their nurse aide exam and their CPR certification at Southside Technical School. In 1992, Fennelly received the employee of the month award from Milton Hospital and was an MJ Dickson Quality Nursing Care Nominee in 2014. 4 / In Step for the Commonwealth November 2015 Pam Branson BSN Resident Award Hazel Camit, BSN, RN, and Natalie Lewis, BSN, RN, are the first recipients of the Pam Branson BSN Resident Award, named in honor of Pam Branson, MSN, RN, clinical nurse specialist, who served as an employee of UK HealthCare for more than 36 years from 1978 to 2015. The award was designed to reflect Branson’s commitment to quality nursing practice by recognizing BSN residents who have demonstrated exemplary use of evidence-based decision making to provide optimal patient outcomes. Camit and Lewis are working to reduce the anxiety of post-lung transplant patients of UK Albert B. Chandler Hospital. Their efforts include a YouTube video and handouts that communicate the causes of anxiety, normalize patients’ experiences with anxiety, and provide four anxiety-reducing interventions that include guided progressive relaxation, guided imagery, quiet ears and deep breathing. Camit and Lewis aim to empower and educate patients so they may find solutions to cope with their anxiety. “As nurses, we like to build rapport with patients, because this is where you can start to improve patient satisfaction and quality of care,” said Camit. * Podium Presentations Cecilia A.

He worked for Good Samaritan Hospital in the Behavioral Health Unit. When others had a need to talk, Mike listened. A compassionate and generous man, he gave his family, his Good Samaritan family and his patients the respect to be themselves. In an often hectic and unpredictable clinical environment, Mike exuded calm; it was frequently stated that when he was on duty at the hospital everything would be just fine. A kind soul with an amazing sense of humor, he also was a gifted musician, an exceptional friend and a colleague who continues to be deeply missed by all who knew him. Victoria Cartee | Victoria passed away in January 2015.

She was a member of the United Methodist Church. Susan Gray | Susan passed away in June 2015.

She was valedictorian of the 1982 Class of Rock Hill High School in Ironton, Ohio, and a 1985 graduate of St. Mary’s School of Nursing. She received her BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University. Her dedication to the profession was evident in her advocacy for continued growth in bedside and didactic nurse education. Amanda Jurkash | Amanda passed away in January 2015. She was an avid nurse on UK HealthCare’s Neurosciences Service line, working on Tower 100 of the Pavilion A. Amanda received her bachelor’s degree in political science from Purdue University, where she was a member of Alpha Gamma Delta. She later obtained her BSN from Eastern Kentucky University.
