Dear friends,When you reflect on your life, what gives it meaning? Family?

Friends? Your church? Your career? Memories of days gone by? When Ilook back over the years, I can’t help but be grateful.

The School of Nursing has done so much to enrich my life and I’msure many of you feel the same way. Every day it is a joy to work with trulyprofessional faculty members who care deeply about their work and the stu-dents they teach. The diversity of students we have the privilege of teachingbrings us new insights. They are eager to learn and are committed to thefuture of Christian nursing care.

I am grateful for you, our friends and alumni, who year after year sup-port our efforts in the School of Nursing. You make a tremendous impact.Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and generous gifts that sustain us.

In this issue of Loma Linda NURSE, we address the continued crisis in our profession. With nursing shortagesstill on the rise around the country and the aging population of nursing educators, we face many challenges in thefuture. I see these challenges as opportunities for shaping the future of the nursing profession in a profound andmeaningful way, and the School of Nursing stands ready to contribute.

Our School is doing well. • Our enrollment for the fall is up with a total of more than 300 students. We are helping to meet the nursing

shortage challenges by educating as many nurses as possible. • We have increased our presence internationally. In the spring of 2001, the SN faculty voted to go ahead with

plans for an extension LLUSN campus at our Adventist school in Japan. • We are in the initial phase of a project to offer one cycle of an off-campus master’s program in Latin America

to help with the development of faculty for Seventh-day Adventist nursing programs.• We continue our stand for academic excellence. Many of our faculty members are doing important research

and publishing nationally. Plans are moving ahead on our doctoral program due to start accepting students inthe fall of 2002.

Our country and our world have been savagely confronted with the terrible consequences of terrorism. We con-tinue to face challenges in health care and the severe need for more nurses. As we reach out for support, our spiritsare warmed by the strength we get from each of you, our many friends and colleagues.

As you reflect upon your life, I hope you find hope, joy, and happiness. Again, thank you for all you do to sup-port us in our endeavors.

Sincerely,

Helen Emori King, PhD, RNDean, School of Nursing

LLU offers denomination’s first PhD graduate program in nursing

Meeting in full session onTuesday, October 23, 2001,

the Loma Linda University Boardof Trustees approved the first PhDgraduate program in nursing inthe Seventh-day Adventistdenomination.

“The Adventist Church,through its extensive educationnetwork, has various baccalau-reate programs, but this is thefirst PhD program in nursing,”says W. Barton Rippon, PhD,dean, Graduate School.

“Graduates of this program willbecome a source for faculty fornursing programs both overseasand in the United States.”

The PhD graduate program innursing, offered through theGraduate School, will promotethe mission of LLU by preparingnurse leaders in teaching,research, and service from awholeness perspective.

“The timing is right for thisprogram. We will be reaching outfor students throughout theworld, and in effect, develop avision for Adventist nursing,”explains Helen King, PhD, RN,dean, LLUSN. “It will not onlyserve Southern California appli-cants, but national and inter-national applicants as well.”

In addition, the continuingshortage of adequately preparednurse faculty in Adventist nursingeducation worldwide, as well as in

this region calls for a program toaddress this need.

The program was designed toprepare nurse scholars for leader-ship in education, health-careadministration, clinical practice,and research; to prepare nursescientists who are committed tothe generation of knowledge criti-cal to the development of nursingscience and practice; and to serveas a regional, national, and inter-national resource for nursingwithin the Adventist Church.

“Our PhD graduates will joinwith other nursing leaders in furthering the development ofnursing science and improvinghealth-care delivery,” says LoisVan Cleve, PhD, RN, professorand associate dean of the graduate program, LLUSN.

The program is designed to

provide an in-depth understand-ing of knowledge developmentwithin the discipline of nursingthrough philosophical, theoretical,and scientific methods of inquiry.

The program, scheduled tobegin in Fall, 2002, will only acceptsix students every other year.

“Our goal is to provide a smallquality program to help nursesfulfill the mission of LLU: ‘to makeman whole.’ ”

The program can be completedin 11 quarters of full-time study ormay be extended in length toaccommodate the part-time stu-dent. Scholarships, and teachingand research assistanceships areavailable for doctoral students.

For more information pleasecall (909) 558-8061 or (800) 422-4558, or on the Internet at<www.llu.edu/llu/nursing>.

Helen King, PhD, RN, dean,LLUSN, has established an inno-vation and technology fund tofurther the School’s commitmentto remaining up-to-date.

“The establishment of thisfund impresses me because itillustrates the dean’s dedicationto keeping the School of Nursingcurrent,” says Mr. Leeper.

Mr. Leeper also includedextended warranties in his dealthat ensures that Gateway willbe willing to buy back the com-puters in two to four years so theSchool can upgrade to newerequipment.

culty of using a new computerand new programs, a four-hourcomputer training sessiondirected by Gateway personnelwas made available to all facultyand staff.

Students are also benefitingfrom the additional computers.At least 20 of the 93 new com-puters are being used to revampthe student computer lab. Toaccommodate the new comput-ers, the School has renovated theatrium area, extended the exist-ing computer lab, and created acomputer testing room.

“With many of the nursingclasses being Web-enhanced, theexpansion of the computer labwas essential,” says Jan Nick,

Thanks to the donations fromgenerous alumni and

friends, the School was able topurchase 93 new Gateway com-puters with funds set aside fortechnological improvements.

“We had so many differentspeed computers and such avariation of software programsthat it was difficult to help peo-ple,” says Jeff Leeper, CPA, CMA,CIA, director of finance, LLUSN.“Too many faculty using theircomputers at the same timemade the entire system incredi-bly slow.”

Mr. Leeper struck a deal withGateway that included software,computers, monitors, and train-ing for a very reasonable price.

“The University asked us tomeet certain computer stan-dards to ensure we didn’t haveprivacy issues,” says Mr. Leeper.“We had such a hodgepodge ofhardware it would have beenimpossible to meet theUniversity’s requests.”

With the addition of so muchnew equipment, the School feltit needed to hire someone tomanage the change. JanMichaelis, DrPH, director ofcomputer services, LLUSN, wasbrought on board to outfit fac-ulty and staff offices with thenew equipment and troubleshootcomputer-related problems.

care with a universal perspec-tive. “There are very few booksthat explore how nurses canprovide spiritual nurture,” saysDr. Taylor. “My book discussesspirituality as distinct, yetrelated to religion, and discussesthe potentially harmful effects ofreligion on health, as well as thepositive.”

Using this “universal”approach, Dr. Taylor offers abalanced presentation of reli-gion and how it influenceshealth and coping. Dr. Taylor’sbook is also unique in a practi-cal sense.

“In this field, there is a lackof content on what nurses cando to promote spiritual healthor provide spiritual care,” shestates. “My book focuses on thepractice of spiritual caregivingand describes the ‘how to’s’.”

This practical aspect of thebook is demonstrated by tablesand boxes that relay informa-tion in a reader-friendly way.

Dr. Taylor has been research-ing the topic of spirituality innursing care for the past 15years. Her interest began ingraduate school at theUniversity of Pennsylvania. Shehas subsequently completedseveral research projects relatedto some aspect of spiritualresponses to illness or nurses’perspectives on spiritual care.

“This book really is a culmi-nation of my work since 1986,”says Dr. Taylor.

As a professor at theUniversity of Southern California(USC), Los Angeles, she taughtelectives on spiritual caregiving.

Dr. Taylor hopes that thosewho read this book will gain thefollowing:

• A greater sense of apprecia-tion about the importance ofpromoting spiritual health;

• A sense of confidence abouthow to provide spiritual careand integrate it effectively innursing care; and

• An increased personal spiri-tual awareness and a recognitionof how the nurse’s personal spir-ituality can influence profes-sional spiritual caregiving.

Before starting her associateprofessorship at the School ofNursing, Dr. Taylor taught atUSC’s School of Nursing. Herclinical experiences as an oncol-ogy nurse also contributed toher interest in the connectionbetween illness and spirituality.

She received her doctorate innursing from the University ofPennsylvania in 1992. Dr.Johnston also did research onspirituality and health-relatedquality of life during a two-yearpostdoctoral fellowship at theUniversity of California, LosAngeles, School of Nursing.

Spirituality is a unique anddeeply personal experience

for everyone. Because of itsimpact in almost every aspect ofhuman life, spirituality becomesespecially critical during timesof illness and nursing care.

Elizabeth Johnston Taylor,PhD, RN, associate professor,LLUSN, recently wrote a bookaddressing how to nurture thespirit. Spiritual Care: NursingTheory, Research, and Practice is theonly book of its kind that offersguidance in spiritual nursing

University School of Nursing in1976. The chapter, which pro-motes nursing scholarship, leader-ship, and research has grownfrom 101 charter members to1,062 members.

More than a quarter millionnurse scholars have beeninducted into Sigma Theta TauInternational since its inceptionin 1922. With 120,000 activemembers, it is the second largestnursing organization in theworld. Members are active inmore than 94 countries and terri-tories, and the 406 chapters arelocated on 503 college and uni-versity campuses.

Patricia K.T. Pothier, MS, RN,both received the research award.Two nursing students—under-graduate Julie Hunter and gradu-ate student Adelaide Caroci, BSN,RN—received the research con-ference sponsorship award.

Dr. Foster’s keynote address,“Honor Is More than Honors,”outlined some of the chapterhighlights over the past 25 years.

Dr. Foster served as associatedean and also helped establishGamma Alpha Chapter whileteaching at LLUSN.

According to Dr. Pedro, thestudy is very applicable tonurses and should affect howthey deal with patients who areafflicted with cancer beyond justthe diagnosis.

“There is a substantial amountof psychological trauma of beingfaced with death, and manypatients, after they have had theirtreatment, need to know whatcomes next for them,” she adds.

Leli Pedro, DNSc, RN, assistantprofessor of nursing, LLUSN,

received the Clarice WoodwardAward for Excellence in Writing inan awards ceremony held June 7in the Wong Kerlee InternationalConference Center.

The awards ceremony washeld during the Sigma Theta TauInternational Honor Society ofNursing Gamma Alpha Chapter’s25th anniversary celebration andinduction ceremony.

Dr. Pedro received the awardfor her paper “Quality of Life forLong-Term Survivors of Cancer:Influencing Variables,” which waspublished as lead article in theJanuary/February, 2001, issue ofCancer Nursing.

The study’s purpose was todescribe the relationships amongself-esteem, learned resourceful-ness, and social support, and howthey predict health-related qualityof life (HRQL) for long-term sur-vivors of cancer.

“Cancer has always been per-ceived as a death sentence,” saysDr. Pedro, “but now people livelonger and quality of life is anarea that needs to be explored.”

Conclusions based on the find-ings from this study were thatlong-term survivors of cancerhave ongoing issues and concernsregarding the experience of livingbeyond the diagnosis and treat-ment of their cancer.

Loma Linda takes on thenursing shortage challenge

Where is the next generation ofnurses? Hospitals, nursing homes,schools, and ultimately the entirenation faces this imposing ques-tion. Beginning in approximately2010, mounting demand for RNsis expected to outstrip the supply,according to the Federal Divisionof Nursing. But for most healthfacilities struggling to meetdemand in an increasing numberof cities, 2010 is already here.1

Why is there a shortage ofnurses? The reasons are variedand complicated. No one singlereason can be pinpointed as theexact cause of the shortage.However, experts agree there area few key issues playing signifi-cant roles in the crisis.

Unfortunately the fountain ofyouth is yet to be found. Theaverage age of nurses continues torise every year. The average ageof RNs working in nursingincreased from 42.3 years in 1996to 43.3 in 2000.2

The increasing average age isdue to the lack of young peopleentering the profession. Nursinghas seen a 22 percent drop in thenumber of RNs under the age of35 from 1980 to 2000. Nearly 41percent of all RNs were under theage of 35 in 1980, compared tobarely 18 percent under 35 in2000.2

| aging workforce |

A significant number of nurseswill be retiring in the next 10 to15 years since 60 percent of thecurrent RN workforce is morethan 40 years of age.3

Because of the advanced med-ical technology available, manymore people are living toadvanced ages. Those who don’tlive in close proximity to theirchildren or have no childrendepend on health-care workers—primarily nurses—for their care.The ratio of potential caregiversto the people most likely to needcare will decrease by approxi-mately 40 percent between 2010and 2030.3 The expected increasein the elderly population is stag-gering. The population 65 years ofage and older will double between2000 and 2030.4

faces a serious risk of losing onein five current nurses from directpatient care settings for reasonsother than retirement. These onein five expect to leave within thenext five years.5

Where have all the studentsgone? This question ties directlyinto the nursing shortage. Entry-level enrollments in bachelor ofscience in nursing (BSN) pro-grams have declined for fiveyears in a row, down by 4.6 per-cent in 1999, according to datafrom the American Association ofColleges of Nursing (AACN).Many schools with decliningenrollments report a fall off inapplications. Nursing is now com-peting with other professions fortalented candidates.6 At everylevel of nursing care, providersare aging and young people arechoosing not to enter nursingcare occupations.3

In a country of ever increasingdiversity, one would expect to seea decided change in the numberof minorities in the field of nurs-ing. However, as of March, 2000,an estimated 86.6 percent of theRN population reported beingCaucasian (non-Hispanic), while12.3 percent reported being inone or more of the identifiedracial and ethnic minority groupslisted (see chart). This is only atwo percent increase in four years (an additional 1.1 percentof the respondents chose not toreport their racial and ethnicbackground).2

The gigantic gap between thenumber of women and men inthe field of nursing continues toloom large. While the number ofmen employed in nursingincreased between 1996 and2000, still more than 94 percentof nurses are female.2

No one disputes that nursing isa physically and emotionallydemanding job. In a recent opin-ion study conducted by Peter D.Hart Associates on behalf of theFederation of Nurses and HealthProfessionals, researchers foundthe number one reason nursesconsider leaving nursing is for aless stressful and physicallydemanding job. Fifty percent ofcurrent nurses say that, withinthe past two years, they have con-sidered leaving the patient carefield for reasons other than retire-ment. The health-care profession

Declines in nursing schoolenrollments cannot solely beattributed to decreasing numbersof students. Some schools areactually turning away would-benurses because the schools lackadequate staff and facilities totake all of the applicants. Findingenough faculty who have the nec-essary education is challenging.Enrollments in doctoral programsthat prepare needed researchersand nurse faculty remain virtuallyflat, growing by slightly more thantwo percent across the last fiveyears, according to AACN data.Such growth is a snail’s pace—farbelow the rate needed to produceenough nurse scientists to addressa growing list of contemporaryhealth problems, and to alleviate amounting faculty shortage that iscurtailing enrollments at manynursing schools.6 It is at the doc-toral level where nurses learn howto collect data, secure research

funds, and maintain the integrityof research projects. But of morethan 9,000 faculty at AACN–member schools, barely morethan 50 percent are doctorallyprepared.6 Also, as nursing pro-fessors age and retire, schools areexperiencing many difficulties inreplacing them. With the averageage of full-time nursing facultynow at 49, a wave of retirementsis expected to peak in just 10years.7

Many nursing professionalsfeel nurses need a new image.Potential students see nursing asa hospital-based occupation.They are not aware of the otheropportunities in venues such asindependent practice, business,research, teaching, private indus-try, law, and health policy.8 Manyare advocating the message thatnurses do not just assist medi-cine. The public does not suffi-ciently credit nursing as beingindependent of medicine, nor forproducing clinical innovationsfrom which so much of healthcare now benefits. Nurses are

both skilled direct-care providersand health-care experts who aremoving health care forward with abody of science and clinicalknowledge developed by RNs.1

So how is Loma LindaUniversity’s School of Nursing tak-ing on the crisis in nursing? Theplan is multi-faceted and beinglead by innovative programs anddedicated faculty and staff.

One way the School is boostingdiversity and enrollment in nurs-ing is the Success in Learning—Individualized Pathways Program(SLIPP). This program is designedto encourage minorities in eco-nomically depressed or academi-cally lacking situations toconsider a career in nursing.

“This program brings people tonursing who would not have oth-erwise been nurses,” says VanetaCondon, PhD, RN, associate pro-fessor and SLIPP coordinator.

If SLIPP participants completea quarter of prerequisite classeswith a “B” grade, they are guaran-teed acceptance into the regularBS nursing program. A special

financial assistance package ofscholarships, grants, and low-interest loans is available to SLIPPstudents. Stipends are also pro-vided by a grant for students whoqualify for low family income asdefined by federal guidelines.

Another way the School isincreasing enrollment is theexpansion of academic and schol-arship programs. For example, inthe fall of 2002, the School willproudly debut the new doctoralprogram. The School of Nursingwill accept six students into thisnew program.

The School is also doing itspart to foster growth in the num-bers of nurses entering the teach-ing field.

“As we see talented studentscome through our BSN program,we encourage them to considerteaching as a career,” says HelenKing PhD, RN, dean of the School.“We also give class credit toward amaster’s degree to nurses fromLLUMC who teach clinical classesfor us.”

The challenge of obtaining andretaining well-educated faculty isa consideration for the School aswell. More than 60 percent of thenursing faculty hold a doctoraldegree. However, the School stillactively encourages faculty toseek doctorate degrees to helpensure that the School will notexperience problems with facultyshortages.

The Alumni Association is alsodedicated to securing the future ofnursing. It is in the beginning

became a prototype for othersuch units throughout the coun-try,” says Ms. Sutton. Course con-tent was standardized, leading toAHA certification and providing a standard of care for CPRresuscitation.

Ms. Sutton was determined toshare what she had learned withothers. She was the co-plannerand co-director of the first coursein electrocardiography for nursesin the Inland Empire throughLLUSN in 1968.

Educating others was key forMs. Sutton. “It’s one of the mostrewarding parts of what I’vedone,” relates Ms. Sutton. “Byteaching other nurses, it opens upthe doors to new ideas, proce-

dures, and safer patient care.”Ms. Sutton has taught in a wide

range of environments, often rep-resenting the AHA. She co-founded Loma Linda’s Chapter 34of Mended Hearts, an AHA inter-national support group for heartsurgery patients and their fami-lies. She remains an activeMended Hearts member, sup-porter, and advisor.

One of her favorite venues forrepresenting the AHA has beenthe LLUMC Children’s Day heldannually in the spring. Nearly 800children, teachers, and parentsattend this event and comethrough the cardiac tent.

More than 40 years ago, Lavaun(Ward) Sutton, MS, RN, ’57B &’65, started her work as a nursespecializing in cardiac care andeducation. At an American HeartAssociation (AHA) affiliate boardmeeting on the University ofCalifornia, Riverside, campus inthe spring of 2001, Rich Jarvis,executive director, AHA, WesternStates Affiliate, Inland EmpireDivision, presented Ms. Suttonwith a gold medal to honor her 30years of service.

Ms. Sutton began her involve-ment with the local AHA in 1966and has served in many capaci-ties over the years. She served onthe executive board for two termsand was a 20-year member of theAHA affiliate nursing educationcommittee that planned yearlyseminars for nurses and otherhealth professionals.

While being involved at AHA,Ms. Sutton was asked to serve onthe California Region IV taskforce to determine educationalneeds for nurses and other healthprofessionals. She also attendedone of the first coronary carecourses sponsored by theAmerican College of Cardiology atSt. Lukes Hospital in Kansas City,Missouri. While there, she visitedthe first coronary care unit andwas inspired to pursue cardiacnursing care.

“This first coronary care unit

chambers and vessels,” says Ms.Sutton. Joining her at suchevents are LLUSN students andvolunteers from Mended Hearts.

Ms. Sutton has also workedwith an AHA school educationprogram called Heart Power thatteaches students grades K–12how to develop healthy lifestyles.

Other groups she has taughthave been school nurses, pedi-atric cardiology patients, pace-maker patients, and individualsat health fairs.

Ms. Sutton has served as aspeaker and delegate toCalifornia Heart Associationassembly meetings and has volunteered for fundraising andspecial events.

Her work has stretched acrossthe world. From 1963 to 1979,Ms. Sutton was the nursing coor-dinator for the overseas LLUHeart Team, working in manycountries including Pakistan,Taiwan, Thailand, Greece,Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia. In1963, the team was one of thefirst to perform open-heart sur-gery in Pakistan, seeing 300patients and operating on 44. Ms.Sutton supervised setting up thecritical care units and trained thelocal nurses in critical care. “Ihad more energy back then,” sheconfesses. “Those were challeng-ing pioneer days.”

During her work internation-

ally, Ms. Sutton was sensitive tothe lack of medical equipmentin the countries they visited.This prompted her request tothe “Queen for a Day” televisionshow for a respirator. She wasmade “Nurse Queen for a Day”and appeared on the show in1963. “I guess my request formedical equipment for othersimpressed someone,” Ms. Suttonlaughs. “I’m just glad I was able to get the respirator to con-tinue our work.”

Throughout her long career asa cardiac nurse, Ms. Sutton saysher wide exposure to nursing careboth nationally and internation-ally has been rewarding as well as

challenging. “It’s been great work-ing with so many different peopleand caring for the patients whoare always grateful,” she says.

Though now retired, Ms.Sutton is still an associate clinicalprofessor in the School ofNursing. She has worked forLLUMC as a clinical nurse spe-cialist in cardiac surgery andpediatric cardiology. Ms. Suttoncontinues to volunteer not onlyfor AHA and Mended Hearts, butalso as a parish nurse for LomaLinda University Church. She is amember of LLU’s Children’sHospital Guild and a board mem-ber of the LLU School of NursingAlumni Association.

geriatric nursing. Currently, lessthan one-fifth of funded researchis dedicated to geriatric nursingresearch.

The foundation is focused onproducing expert academicians,practitioners, and researchers whowill lead the field of geriatric nurs-ing and produce the next genera-tion of practitioners and faculty.

“The Trustees’ recognition ofthe centrality of nursing to thecare of older adults has led to abroadened effort, focusing onincreasing academic capacity tohasten and enhance training,research, and practice,” says Ms.Tetz. “This initiative ultimatelywill enhance the care of elders inour society.”

Along with teaching, Ms. Tetzhas spent many years working asa home health nurse and is con-vinced of the importance of

proper geriatric nursing.“While caring for frail elders in

the community setting, I wasimpressed with their wisdom andcourage, and with the dedication offamily members in providing care,”says Ms. Tetz. “I came to under-stand the important difference thatskillful nursing could make in thelives of elders and their families.”

With the nation’s increasingelderly population comes

the challenge of caring for thosewho can no longer care for them-selves. Karen Tetz, MS, ’83, hasmade it her goal to discover differ-ent and improved care techniquesfor the elderly population.

Ms. Tetz received a $100,000grant to support the completion ofher doctoral research in geriatricnursing—specifically research per-taining to the quality of familycaregiving for frail elders.

In response to the heighteningnursing shortage—particularlythose interested in gerontologicalnursing—the John A. HartfordFoundation Geriatric NursingScholarship program awarded 17nurse scholars with grants. Ms.Tetz was one of 10 predoctoralnurse scholars selected to conducta two-year study in the field of

will help ensure the longevity oftheir careers in nursing.”

Despite the overwhelmingimmensity of the nursing crisis,LLUSN is stepping up to meet thechallenges of the shortage.

“I think we need to help peo-ple fully understand the expan-sive opportunities available with anursing degree,” says Dr. King.“We will continue to do our partto educate the next generation ofnurses.”

In a speech given in honor ofher classmates at alumni vespers,April 7, 2001, Maria (Olympia)Schulte ’40, talked about how dif-ferent things were in the 1940s.“My first paycheck was $24 for 40hours of work,” she said. “I haveheard that RNs are now makingmore than $20 per hour. Becauseof the situation, I, like many of myclassmates, lived in an apartmentwith four other nurses,” said Ms.Schulte. “The apartment was $30a month. I guess it all evens out!”

School of Nursing to celebrate 100th anniversaryQ & A with the dean of the School

ment to the next 100 years ofservice of the School of Nursing.

Why the Centennial Fellows?Dr. King: As we all know,

today’s nurses face many chal-lenges. The current shortages innursing are more intense than inyears past, and experts predictthat within the next few yearsthe demand for well-educated

nurses will grow twice as fast asthe nursing workforce. We needto be ready and do everythingwe can in the School of Nursingto help alleviate this nursingshortage.

Most of the students thatcome to us need financial assis-tance of some form. We must beable to offer more scholarshipsin order to assist as many stu-dents as possible to obtain aChristian nursing education.

We feel it is our mission to notonly provide the best nursingeducation to our students, butkeep tuition affordable. We alsowant to continue our excellencein teaching and research that ourfaculty provide.

What is the overall goal?Dr. King: We want to raise

$1 million for an endowment wehave set up called the School ofNursing Centennial EndowmentFund. This fund will support allthe educational and scholarshipprograms within the School.

As the fund grows over theyears, the interest income willbe used for the School’s highestpriorities in the education ofnursing students. With a goal of$1 million in gifts and pledges,the opportunity to become afellow is open to all that areinterested. We need 50Centennial Fellows to reach ourinitial goal.

How will Centennial Fellowsbe recognized?Dr. King: We want to recognize

and thank our distinguished fel-lows often and in many differentways. One of the ways we will dothis is through the unveiling of aspecial Centennial Fellows DonorWall in the School.

During Alumni Homecomingin 2006, we are planning some

The CentennialFellows will be

service of theSchool of Nursing.Q

Almost a century ago, LomaLinda University established

its first educational program—preparing nurses for the hospitalthat was just being started andfor worldwide service.

During the academic year2005–2006, the School will cele-brate its 100th birthday. To markthis monumental occasion, theSchool is launching a host ofcentennial events and programs.

One of these special programswill be the Centennial Fellowsprogram. In this interview,School of Nursing dean Helen E.King, PhD, RN, talks about plans for the Centennial Fellowsprogram.

What is the CentennialFellows program?Dr. King: Actually, Lois Van

Cleve, PhD, RN, associate deanof the graduate program, gave usthe idea from a similar programin another organization.

Here is the basic idea: theCentennial Fellows program is aninitiative that gives people theopportunity to invest a moderateamount of funds in the Schooland enjoy the recognition ofbecoming a Centennial Fellow.Gifts at levels of $20,000 or morewill entitle someone to this dis-tinguished status.

special events of recognition forour fellows. They will alsoreceive annual written recogni-tion and the joy of knowing theyare helping future School ofNursing students.

How does one become a fellow? Dr. King: There are many

ways to become a CentennialFellow. Some may find it easierto give smaller amounts overtime toward a fellowship—say,$3,500 a year for five years; or$1,500 for 10 years. With com-pounding interest over time,$20,000 will have accumulated.It’s amazing—it does add up!

The School is also open toother types of gifts besides cash.People can help in a variety ofways. For instance, gifts of realestate, assets of stock, mutualfunds or other securities, lifeinsurance policies, and plannedgifts are all ways one could givea gift to become a fellow.

The possibilities are reallyboundless.

How does one find out more information about this program?Dr. King: We will be sending
