Aug. 1 — Pathway program faculty and leaders publish study in national nursing journal
The Summer Health Institute for Nursing Exploration and Success (SHINES) team of Piri Ackerman, Victoria Ngo, Patricia Fernandez and Jessica Draughon Moret published "Pathway to a Brighter Future" in the August issue of the American Journal of Nursing. The article shares how the two-week SHINES program is a formal outreach initiative that introduces students from an underserved geographic location to the nursing profession and to careers in other health professions. They also assess changes in knowledge and participants' experiences after attending the two-week program. Since 2022, more than 140 high school and community college students have completed the program at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing.
