“In the previous year, WSU College of Nursing Associate Professor Dr. Janessa Graves received the AACN award, with Dr. Shawna Beese, Research Assistant Professor (Assistant Professor, CAHNRS), as her mentee. Their collaborative work laid the foundation for this year’s proposal, reflecting a commitment to advancing nursing research. Dr. Beese, now principal investigator (PI) expressed her interest in building on the prior year’s success.”

I am looking forward to this year mentoring four talented honor’s students as they conduct their first research studies and prepare to present their work at the 2024 Western Institute of Nursing (WIN) conference in Utah. We will be using the NIH All of Us Research Program database as a data source for their work. The student researcher’s passion is infectious and I’m hoping there may be future lab member/s among them. I can’t wait to see how these brilliant ladies advance nursing research over the next 9-months!
