What’s Ahead

Greetings from Dean Gail McCain & CNR Director Dr. Elizabeth Capezuti

Joan Hansen Grabe Dean: Gail

C McCain, PhD, RN, FAAN

The Center for Nursing Research

is integral to our mission at the

school of nursing to promote

health and provide care in cultur-

ally diverse urban and global

communities. We are pleased that

Dr. Liz Capezuti, who was ap-

pointed Professor and the William

Randolph Hearst Foundation

Chair in Gerontology at the

School of Nursing in January

2014, accepted the position as As-

sistant Dean for Research and Di-

rector of the Center for Nursing

Research in July. This newsletter

provides a wonderful overview of

the scholarly activities of the fac-

ulty

As the current Director of

the CNR and Assistant Dean for

Research, I am building on the

project began by Dr. Roye by fa-

cilitating faculty research and pro-

moting inter-collegial engagement

with other CUNY colleges and

departments and our partners at

the Weill-Cornell Clinical and

Translational Science Center. I am

so pleased to share the achieve-

ments of our faculty! This news-

letter recognizes the scholarship of

our faculty and their contributions

to the Nursing community during

2013. We also include essays from

two recently retired HBSON fac-

ulty members: Drs. Kathy Nokes

and Joan Arnold. In our upcoming

Spring issue we will include the

2014 scholarly and service activi-

ties of our faculty and highlight

another of our retiring faculty.

CNR Director, Dr. Elizabeth

Capezuti, PhD, RN, FAAN

The Center for Nursing

Research (CNR) was started by

the former director Dr. Carol

Roye. She did amazing work for

HBSON, going a long way to

promote faculty research. We are

grateful to Dr. Roye who is now

2014 ONS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD:

Anita Nirenberg, PhD, PNP, BC AOCNP, FAAN

ONS is proud to announce the selection of Dr. Anita

Nirenber as the recipient of the 2014 ONS Lifetime

Achievement Award. Dr. Nirenberg has tirelessly dedi-

cated her career to oncology nursing and personifies

the highest level of professionalism. Her commitment

and accomplishments exemplify the ONS mission and

core values. She is an internationally recognized leader

in oncology nursing, and has provided paramount con-

tributions to the field of oncology nursing through clin-

ical practice, education, research and advocacy in a

career spanning over four decades.

Through her clinical, educational and research skills,

Dr. Nirenberg has profoundly influenced the delivery

of cancer care. Early in her career, Dr. Nirenberg creat-

ed new models of care by developing the first Pedi-

atric/Adult Day Hospital for ambulatory treatment of

cancer patients. This allowed for potentially life threat-

ening cancer chemotherapy to be delivered on outpa-

tient basis. These coordinated models of treatment

were precursors to the current deliver of cancer treat-

ment and have been disseminated and replicated

around the world. Dr. Nirenberg’s other areas of re-

search have focues on the management of symptoms

related to cancer and cancer treatments. Her landmark

study of Emergency Department (ED) waiting times

for patients with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia

resulted in practice changes at 2 nationally prominent

academic health centers where sick cancer patients no

longer wait to be seen in the ED; dedicated triage and

algorithms to deliver therapy for this population has

become standard of practice nationally.

Dr. Nirenberg has exhibited a commitment to educa-

tional and academic excellence. She has over three

decades of experience as an educator. Currently she

serves as the William Randolph Hearst Professor of

Clinical Nursing, Hunter Bellevue School of Nursing

(HBSON), Hunter College of the City University of

New York. Prior to Hunter, Dr. Nirenberg was an As-

sistant Professor and Director of the Oncology Mas-

ter’s Program at Columbia University School of Nurs-

ing for over ten years.

Dr. Nirenberg was a charter member of ONS and has

been continuously certified since 1986. She has con-

tributed to ONS on both local and national levels

through her revered presentations, publications, pro-

jects and leadership. Dr. Nirenberg was the New York

City ONS Chapter Nominating Committee Chair for

10 years. Additionally, Dr. Nirenberg collaborated on

several presentations for ONS, including an IOL in-

structional session and an IOL mini-institute, both on

Comparative Effectiveness Research. Other notable

ONS contributions include her work as Project Team

Leader on the State-of-the-Knowledge on Neutropenia

Management. Dr. Nirenberg led the State-of-the-

Knowledge on Neutropenia Symposium she led the

development and presentation of ten ONS regional

workshops. Additionally, she was first author on the

white paper on neutropenia that was published in two

parts in the Oncology Nursing Forum.

Dr. Nirenberg’s impact on the science of oncology clin-

ical practice and patient outcomes has been profound.

Her research has changed the delivery of cancer care.

As an educator and mentor of oncology advance prac-

tice nurses, her impact and influence has been far

reaching.

Congratulations to Dr. Anita Nirenberg, this year’s

prestigious ONS Lifetime Achievement Award recipi-

ent!

JOAN ARNOLD, PhD, RN

Hunter College was an extraordinary experience for me. I

came to Hunter late in my career. I was 62 years old when I

was invited to join the faculty. I appreciated the welcome

and felt the fit was perfect. I have been a public health nurse

all my career – in the community caring for families and in

the classroom teaching students about the practice and prin-

ciples of public health nursing. I had worked for the City in a

variety of capacities reflecting this public health orientation.

I love the City and always believed my efforts served people

in need. Hunter, a City university, gave me another oppor-

tunity to serve. I was greeted by the School of Nursing stu-

dents with enthusiasm and appreciation and will always

keep the Hunter students close to my heart. Thanks to the

generosity of the President, Provost, Dean of the School of

Nursing, and members of the College Research Administra-

tion.

I became the recipient of two PSC-CUNY research awards.

With the first award, I collaborated with a faculty member

of the Columbia University School of Nursing (CUSON)

and a research administrator at New York-Presbyterian

(NYP). We studied Predictors of Retention of Behavioral

Health Nurses. Our study engaged behavioral health nurses

on two psychiatric units of NYP. This empirical study was

designed to determine predicative factors for burnout and

post-traumatic stress disorder, the likelihood of being a vic-

tim of violence, and consequences of violence. Behavioral

health nursing is associated with stress and burnout resulting

from intense involvement and interaction with patients suf-

fering from severe mental illness in unpredictable environ-

ments. The nurses appreciated the opportunity to reflect on

their practice, the inherent risks and threats on units, and

their responses. For the second research award, I collaborat-

ed with a nurse who had also been involved with the care of

families after a child’s death. Our study was a retrospective

analysis on sibling grief. As we had each cared for families

after an infant or child death, we had often encountered the

grief of surviving and subsequent sibling but had not studied

sibling grief. The study offered empirical support for sibling

grief as ongoing and profound. Development is influenced

by sibling grief in myriad ways. Timing, cause, and circum-

stances of death are among the factors which influence the

grief experience. The findings serve to inform the develop-

ment and provision of services for grieving families. Sibling

grief can be recognized not only as a health concern for chil-

dren and adolescents but also for adults and older adults.

I encourage students of nursing and nurses in all practice

areas to engage in research efforts. There are endless ques-

tions that can be asked – each one with the opportunity to

make nursing practice more effective and to anticipate the

patient experience with understanding, compassionate skill,

and intelligence. Research is a purposeful way to ponder

questions and reveal the complex nature of the human expe-

rience and the nurse’s role in giving care. Research and

Practice are intertwined and embedded processes. My sug-

gestion is to find partners and work collaboratively. Being

engaged with others in the pursuit of knowledge and inter-

nalization of values is gratifying.

I will always reflect on the learning opportunities afforded to

me by Hunter College.

With thanks and appreciation,

Joan Arnold, PhD, RN



KATHLEEN M. NOKES, PhD, RN. FAAN

On October 6, 2014, Dean McCain invited current and past faculty and students to celebrate Dr. Nokes’s 28 years of contributions to our school and beyond. The following are some of Dr. Nokes’s remarks from that retirement luncheon as well as her responses to ques-tions posed by Marti Dornbaum.

Why Hunter? What are your research interests and why? Do you plan on pursuing these interests further after retirement?

I chose to teach at Hunter in 1986, very carefully. I had been tenured at Downstate Medical Center (DMC) and left that position to finish my PhD. I could have returned to DMC but wanted to be in a liberal arts institution. I knew that I needed a setting that would not discriminate based on sexual orientation, and CUNY has always been a leader in acknowl-edgement of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer rights.

The HIV epidemic was ravaging the gay community in New York City in the 1980s. It was an incredibly frightening time. We did not know how HIV was transmitted and we were watching our friends die. As a Nurse I felt compelled to do something. But what?

Hunter provided a venue to answer that question. Through

my appointment to faculty in the School of Nursing, I was able to apply for and receive Federal funding for 5 years (1990 through 1995) which allowed me to develop and teach courses for nurses studying for their Master’s degree to specialize in the care for persons with HIV/AIDS. While this might not sound remarkable now, it was at the time. To give an illustra-tion, nursing faculty colleagues from around the country would say that they could not put HIV into the title of a nurs-ing course because students did not want the information on their transcript. At the same time, Hunter Nursing students were enrolling in the courses at unanticipated high numbers. I was warned by Nursing colleagues that associating with the HIV epidemic would “destroy my career.” These warnings were from colleagues who cared about me because they knew

that the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS spreads to the persons caring for them. One of the Nursing faculty here vot-ed against approving the HIV courses because she was afraid that people living with HIV/AIDS would come to the cam-pus. But the Hunter Nursing students sought out the courses and institutional support continues to this day. In fact, one of the courses is scheduled to be taught during the Winter 2015 semester. The result has been a well-educated Nursing work-force meeting the needs of a marginalized population.

Tell us how your research has influenced your teach-ing. In what ways have you been able to bring the in-sights of your research to your courses?

I require objective documentation, not opinions, as I teach graduate and doctoral nursing students. I expect that written work shows evidence of the existing body of research about their specific topic.

What recommendations or advice would you give your students regarding the pursuit of research careers?

Unless they choose to work in one of the very few research intensive settings, they should expect that research will be a part of their day-to-day activities – not their full-time activity. I would encourage them to choose a clinical area that needs evidence and build their research on findings from their prior studies and to collaborate with other researchers studying that

clinical problem.

Is there a student you've mentored that you feel has a career in nursing research or carries on your work?

There are a few in a variety of settings including Durban, South Africa. I think that my major contribution as a mentor has been through my research publications, which have wide access and reflect collaboration with a variety of authors.

We at the HBSON are so appreciative of Dr. Nokes’ work with us. We are also happy to report that she does not plan on “actually retiring but rather transitioning into a situation where meetings are kept to a minimum but in which I am able to share my experience with others through

consultation, teaching, research, and publications.”
