| Nursing educator to receive honorary degree at Commencement | |||||||||||||
Dean and professor of the one of the top five nursing programs in the country at the Michigan School of Nursing, Hinshaw will receive the honorary Doctor of Science degree. Her work in research methods and measurement has brought her to the pinnacle of the nursing profession. Hinshaw began her academic career as an instructor for the University of Kansas School of Nursing before moving on to the University of California at San Francisco, the University of Arizona and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Hinshaw’s research has brought her to the forefront of her profession. Her contri-butions include authoring more than 100 articles cover-ing topics as diverse as the interface of nursing and bio-logical science to innovative retention strategies for nursing staff. She is particularly known for her extensive work in measurement techniques. She has co-authored two books: Magnet Hospitals Revisited: Attraction and Retention of Pro-fessional Nurses, and Handbook of Clinical Nursing Research. Hinshaw’s reputation as a researcher earned her the directorship of the National Institutes of Health based National Center for Nursing Research when it was formed in 1988. The center had become a full-fledged National Institute of Nursing by the time she completed her service there in 1998. In 2001, she was elected president of the American Academy of Nursing, the profession’s most elite community of scholars. She is also one of only a few nurses to be invited to be a member of the prestigious Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science. Hinshaw has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Kay Schilter Award from the University of Kansas, the Lucille Petry Leone Award from the National League for Nursing, the Wolanin Geriatric Nursing Research Award from the University of Arizona, the Alumni of the Year Award from the University of Kansas School of Nursing, the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Yale University School of Nursing, the Alumni Achievement Award from the University of Arizona, the Distinguished Citation from the University of Kansas Alumni Association, the Centennial Award from the Columbia School of Nursing, the Nurse Scientist of the Year Award from the American Nursing Association and the Nurse Scientist of the Year Award from the Council on Nursing Researchers. In her final message as president of the American Academy of Nursing, Hinshaw wrote that the academy was well posi-tioned to “contribute to bringing the knowledge base of the discipline to enrich the evolution of solutions and strategies for major health policy issues.” |
