Fuld attendees share their enthusiasm about the summit Ann Falkenberg Olson, PhD, RN, WHNP-BC, FNP/BC, FAANP I live in Winona, Minnesota, and work at Gunderson Health. I’m a nurse scientist, acting director. At Gunderson, we’re at a tipping point right now. It’s obvious that the culture is changing. We have a very powerful nursing staff. We’re not afraid to ask the tough questions. The energy is there – let’s not lose it!
Joanne Cleary-Holdforth, RGN, RM, MSc I met Bern and Ellen Fineout-Overholt in Arizona at an EBP mentorship immersion. Now I’m doing my PhD in EBP in nursing and midwifery at Dublin City University [in Dublin, Ireland]. I’m passionate about the whole area of EBP. This is a momentous occasion.
Laura Coleman, RN I’m chair of Leadership and Professional Development councils, for both Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital and the Mount Carmel Health System. We use EBP in both councils at the hospital. I require all of my council members to present EBP projects at the unit level. If it works well, we take it systemwide.
