NINR cites Penn Nursing researchers as authors of landmark studies
A new publication from the National
Institute of Nursing Research,
Ten Landmark Studies, includes three research studies by Penn
Nursing faculty, the most of any school of nursing. The faculty members
whose studies were cited are Linda Aiken, Loretta Jemmott and Mary Naylor.
Also included were research studies by a Penn Nursing alumna (Martha Hill)
and a former member of the Penn Nursing faculty (Margaret Grey).
For more information on the studies, go to

and click on Ten Landmark Studies in the column on the right.
Penn Nursing
caring to change Mississippi
Penn
Nursing students and faculty joined with colleagues from Penn
Dental, Engineering and Social Policy and Practice to spend a week of
their winter break in Pearlington, Mississippi helping with the recovery
and redevelopment effort following Hurricane Katrina. Students canvassed door to door to learn what the community still
needs and organized a free health fair for residents.

account of the experience, go to

Penn Nursing has a new
website!
The Penn Nursing home page has been redesigned to
display our new Nursing Science brand and tagline, "Care to Change
the World". But, more importantly, we are beginning the
painstaking and important work of making a difference by rebuilding
our own site to make it easier to find information. Welcome to Penn
Nursing Science where we care to change the world-with a website to
match!
