CIO-CNS Fellowship Clinical Nurse Specialist Fellowship Clinical nurse specialists are leaders in enhancing quality of practice as clinicians, educators, and researchers. The demand for advanced-degree nurses like clinical nurse specialists is dramatically increasing in an evolving healthcare system. As clinical nurse specialists, we have a responsibility to help prepare this next generation of nurse leaders. Per the Institute of Medicine’s recommendations, “nurses, nursing education Indiana University School of Nursing Department of Science of Nursing Care 317-274-7120 1 programs, and nursing associations should prepare the workforce to assume leadership positions across all levels.” _______________________ The Central Indiana Organization for Clinical Nurse Specialists (CIO-CNS) has initiated the creation of an Endowed Clinical Nurse Specialist Fellowship here at the IU School of Nursing. We are proud to work with CIO-CNS, alumni, and friends to support this commitment. Robin P. Newhouse, a University of Maryland School of Nursing faculty member known nationally for her research of innovative methods to improve the quality of care delivered to patients, has been named dean of the Indiana University School of Nursing, effective July 1, 2015. http://news.iupui.edu/ releases/2015/04/newhouse-nursing-deanappointment.shtml _______________________ To endow this fellowship, a minimum of $25,000 must be committed within one year and pledges fulfilled within five years. As an endowed fund, this fellowship will exist in perpetuity to ease the financial burdens of students who are pursuing a Clinical Nurse Specialist degree (CNS) or those who are currently a CNS and are enrolled in a doctoral program at the School. Consider making a gift to help us meet and exceed this minimum contribution. The more funds that we raise, the greater the difference we’ll make together. For example, if $25,000 is raised, the 5% interest will allow IUSON to provide $1,250 in funding to CNS students each year. If we raise $100,000, $5,000 will be available yearly to support the needs of our students. You may make your gift online by going to givetoiu.iu.edu. Your gift to the fellowship will help prepare future clinical nurse specialists to initiate change to improve nursing practice. If you have questions or would like to discuss the Fellowship, please contact Janet McCully at [email protected]. The Indiana University Foundation solicits tax-deductible private contributions for the benefit of Indiana University and is registered to solicit charitable contributions in all states requiring registration.
