School of Nursing 2019 – 2020

Doctor of nursing practice (d.n.p.) program, aims and assumptions.

Yale School of Nursing’s founding dean, Annie W. Goodrich, wrote that nursing combines “the adventure of thought and the adventure of action.”* The post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) program, like the Yale Ph.D. and master’s degree programs, is built upon this rich history and tradition of encouraging innovative and progressive thought as a guide for adventurous action and practice. The Yale School of Nursing’s D.N.P. program focuses on aggregates, systems, and health care organizations. Nursing practice, within this focus, provides for interventions that influence health care outcomes for individuals and populations, administration of nursing and health care organizations, and the development and implementation of health policy.

All competencies embody YSN’s philosophy that nursing has an ethical and social significance, and the curriculum is designed to prepare transformational leaders with the knowledge and skills to improve health care delivery and policies that are essential to insure patient-centered, culturally responsive, safe, and high-quality outcomes for diverse populations within and across health care systems and organizations. Faculty work with students to create forums for reflective action(s) essential for translating evidence into guidelines for best practices across health care systems or other organizations that affect health care delivery or policy.

This part-time, three-year program is tailored for midcareer, working, master’s-prepared nurses. Specifically, the D.N.P. combines online course work with intensive on-campus experiences culminating in a third-year project.

*Annie Warburton Goodrich, The Social and Ethical Significance of Nursing (New York: Macmillan, 1933).

Upon completion of the YSN D.N.P. program, the graduate will demonstrate success in the areas of health systems services, scholarship, and leadership, as defined by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s DNP Essentials. Specifically, the YSN D.N.P. program focuses on the following key competencies:

Health Care Services

• Develop, apply, and evaluate new patient care approaches based on conceptual models and policies to ensure culturally responsive, safe, and high-quality health care outcomes for diverse populations.
• Incorporate data, informational systems, and technology in the design, implementation, and quality improvement of health care and outcomes across diverse populations.
• Integrate evidence-based nursing practice with other related disciplines to lead the transformation of health care delivery across the spectrum of health systems and other organizations.

Scholarship

• Collect and integrate all levels of evidence to give meaning to isolated facts and make connections across disciplines to advance policy, practice, and population health.
• Use analytic methods to critically appraise existing literature and other sources of evidence to determine and implement the best evidence for practice.
• Translate and disseminate knowledge, findings, and applied research to improve health care outcomes.
• Provide transformational leadership in which the nurse acts as an advocate and catalyst for change from a system’s perspective to a diverse, patient-centered, and population health perspective.
• Assure accountability for high-quality and sustainable health outcomes for diverse populations across the spectrum of health systems and other organizations through interprofessional collaboration.
• Advocate for local, state, national, and international policies, programs, and practices that are culturally responsive and have the potential to transform the spectrum of health care services from health promotion through palliative care.
• Employ principles of business, finance, and economics to develop and implement effective plans for practice-level, system-wide practice; population health practice; and administrative initiatives that will improve the quality of care delivery.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must hold a master’s degree in nursing or a related field (i.e., M.P.H., M.B.A., M.H.A.) and a current license to practice as a registered nurse, advanced practice nurse, or certified nurse midwife in the United States (Connecticut licensure is not required). If the applicant’s bachelor of science degree is not in nursing, the master’s degree must be in nursing. Prior to enrolling, all candidates are required to have taken and passed (or to take and pass) a graduate-level statistics course.

Non-nursing master’s degree applicants are required to have a portfolio review conducted by no fewer than two members of the Yale School of Nursing’s Admissions Committee to determine the number of additional clinical hours that may be required.

A total of 1,000 practicum hours is required for the D.N.P. Those who entered with a master’s degree in nursing generally earned a minimum of 500 clinical hours. By portfolio review, clinical hours prior to entry into the D.N.P. program for those with a non-nursing master’s degree will be determined by (1) the number of faculty-supervised hours in a health care management or policy experience, and (2) the number of faculty-supervised hours in a management, policy, or clinically related project or experience. Applicants who completed fewer than the hours needed to meet the required 1,000 hours must fulfill those hours during the first two years of the D.N.P. experience through one or more of the following mentored/supervised leadership practica:

• Teaching assistant hours (1 full term for 1–2 credits, 45–90 hours)
• Independent study (1 credit equals 45 hours)
• Development of a clinically based protocol
• Outcomes evaluation of a clinical problem
• Mentored practicum.

Individual plans of study will be developed to include additional hours. These additional credit hours must be completed by the end of the second academic year of the program.

Application Procedures

The following application materials are required:

• Online application form
• Nonrefundable application fee ($100)
• Current résumé/curriculum vitae
• Personal statement/essay
• One official transcript from each college or university attended ( Note: Applicants with an international degree transcript must submit a course-by-course evaluation conducted by a credentialing agency such as World Education Services [ www.wes.org ] or Educational Credential Evaluators [ www.ece.org ] .

Pandemic proved to be a revelatory time for PhD student

Shannon whittaker, phd ’24 (social and behavioral sciences, public health).

If you think writing a dissertation is hard, try doing it during a pandemic.

Shannon Whittaker, who is graduating from the Yale School of Public Health this spring with a PhD in social and behavioral sciences and public health, started her dissertation while COVID-19 had shut down most of the world. She calls it the most revelatory point of her time at YSPH. It was as much a self-revelation as a scholarly one.

“I learned to rely on and trust myself and my instincts, which fostered a sense of self-reliance,” she said.

“I also learned how to compartmentalize research and my personal life,” she added. “Instead of working around the clock, since I was working from home, I treated my PhD like a 9-to-5 job – sometimes a 9-to-2, even – which allowed me to take care of myself mentally while also increasing productivity. Even as the world returns to ‘normal,’ I’ve retained this change to achieve work-life balance.”

Whittaker earned her MPH from Brown University in 2015 after receiving her BA in public health there the previous year. She came to YSPH in 2018, interested in researching the intersection of race, health, and history, and how social, structural, and political processes impact the health of marginalized communities, especially Black communities.

YSPH, she said, has profoundly shaped her development as a scholar. During her time here, she has earned two competitive grants: the National Institutes of Health’s Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award (a/k/a the F31) , and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Research Scholars Fellowship . She has also collaborated with researchers from various disciplines on three first-authored published manuscripts.

In addition, Whittaker helps other students acclimate to YSPH as a diversity fellow with the Office of Student Development and Diversity. This is where she said her most significant contribution to YSPH took place: helping create a space for underrepresented students and advocating for them.

“It was here that I learned what type of scholar I wanted to be,” she said. “I came to understand that while the path to impactful science often involves challenges, the privilege of contributing to knowledge production is one I deeply appreciate.”

Whittaker said that every professor she’s had at YSPH has helped shape her, Three in particular stand out. Danya Keene , associate professor of social and behavioral sciences, was Whittaker’s advisor and guided her through the intricacies of research. Trace Kershaw , SBS department chair and Susan Dwight Bliss Professor of Public Health (Social and Behavioral Sciences), “consistently offered unwavering support” in her six years here. Carolyn Roberts , assistant professor of history of medicine and science of medicine, and of African American studies, was a valued mentor. “Her guidance emphasized the importance of exploring beyond the boundaries of my discipline,” Whittaker said.

Whittaker is exploring all the options available to her after graduation, but that journey will begin with a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Innovation in Social Science at Boston University. She said she will miss having as much access to “my YSPH family,” but that she’s looking forward to experiencing life “beyond the PhD bubble.”

Whittaker leaves YSPH with one important piece of advice for the students following her: “Resist being molded.”

“Academia takes a one-size-fits all approach, which does not always work because we all exist within our own context,” she said. “Who do you want to be? What kind of research do you want to do? I think before starting a program you should ask yourself those questions and make sure to check in with yourself as often as possible to stay grounded and remain true to who you are. Also, surround yourself with people who will always bring you back to you.”

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
