Here is another MPH-EPI Graduate Spotlight by one of our recent 2024 graduates, Joseph de Veyra, DNP, RN, PCCN, MBA. Joseph recently accepted a new position as the Chief Nursing Officer at NPHub. Learn about his time in the MPH-EPI program below.

Absolutely thrilled to share how the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health MPH Program in Epidemiology was a game-changer for me. As the CNO of NPHub, the skills I honed in data analysis and public health strategies are instrumental in addressing the national provider shortage. Leveraging epidemiological insights allows us to streamline NP placements, optimize healthcare delivery, and make impactful decisions daily. Are you an NP program director/university dean or hospital exec interested in the MPH in Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health program or an MPH in general? I’d love to connect and offer tips on the application process. Let’s transform healthcare together! #HarvardMPH #Epidemiology #HealthcareLeadership #NPHub #PublicHealth #HealthcareTransformation #ConnectAndCollaborate

It's nice when colleges make it easier for students to get licensed for their dream careers. Licensing requirements vary by state, whether for nursing, teaching, or social work. This can be challenging for those who attended college in one state and decide to work in another. It's up to the individual to do their homework, but it's unfortunate when some college credits aren't transferable or when different practice hours are required. Joyce University is working to change that. Nursing is a high-demand field, and more colleges should follow suit for future healthcare workers, as well as other professions that are in high demand. #EducationReform #CareerPathways https://lnkd.in/gxG-3Gn2

Thanks for sharing your expertise Janelle S. How can we apply these learnings to other areas? In broader areas, such as general education, how do we uncover bias and increase equity? Very applicable learnings for many areas here. #highereducation

Two U.S. lawmakers on May 9 reintroduced a bill that would create a federal grant program for nursing schools to stand up or expand accelerated degree programs geared toward individuals with an undergraduate degree in another field.  The legislation would authorize $10 million per year in grants for nursing schools to create, expand or support accelerated nursing degree programs. The bill would allow schools to use the funding to hire and retain nurse faculty, expand the number of clinical training sites and offer financial support to students. It was introduced by Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens and Ohio Rep. Dave Joyce. 

Remediation plays a crucial role in ensuring the success and retention of students within nursing programs. In our latest blog post we share six actionable strategies tailored for nursing educators to support struggling students.

One of the recommendations from the Final Report of the Australian Universities Accord is an increase in quality preparatory courses that are delivered fee-free and funded at a level that reflects the full cost of delivery. These enabling courses prepare students with interrupted educational journeys to qualify for higher degree entry. The short article below outlines the life-changing impact of CQUniversity's STEPS program. As a University, we have seen the transformative power of enabling courses for 38 years - in particular, providing opportunity to students in traditionally under-represented cohorts. Operating since 1986, STEPS (Skills for Tertiary Education Preparatory Studies) is designed to introduce students to the University environment and provide them with the tools for success - importantly, teaching them to be self-directed learners. It's wonderful to see a mum and her son, despite having initial doubts that higher education was for them, giving it a go by enrolling in STEPS and gaining entry to their chosen degree. Sue and Alvin are now both nurses, making a valued contribution to both the public and private health services in Bundaberg - such a great outcome for the community and their family. 'Until you try, you don't know what you can do'.

Endorse this statement 110%! Nurse-driven policy solutions and leadership equate to clinical professionals operating at the full scope of practice and span of control and achieving the highest patient-and family-centered outcomes. ANCC national standards (which are adopted internationally) endorse countless nurse-led initiatives through a transformative approach. It’s the most effective approach!

Great panel on CBE and Nursing by 3 nursing experts!
