Building Connections to Improve Health
At the WesternU College of Graduate Nursing, we make a difference in the lives of students, patients, individuals, and communities locally and worldwide. We provide the knowledge and the one-on-one patient care to improve the health in the communities we serve. Our approach to patient care and putting the patient first grounds us in our commitment to humanism.
Breathtaking Bolivia
“Bolivia’s health care system stands out for its use of traditional healing practices alongside modern medicine. Clinical experiences were supplemented with case studies and guest lectures to provide students with a well-rounded understanding of health care in the context of Bolivian culture. Suddenly it became clearer why Bolivia was recognized as a pioneer of universal health care. The Bolivians have a robust culture and history of social justice, civic engagement, indigenous rights, and overarching human rights.”
Giving Back to the Community
“Every fall as part of their community health rotation, 10 CGN MSN-E students provide educational programs to neighboring Lopez Elementary School students at Lopez Urban Farm. The farm recently introduced animals on site, including goats and rabbits. Berberian and Osawaru developed the Community Chicken Coop Project for their Quality Improvement Project requirement to earn their master’s degree.
The project includes funding approved by CGN Dean Mary Lopez, PhD, MSN, RN, and support from CGN Associate Professor Ruth Trudgeon, DNP, RN, and CGN Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer and Assistant Professor Marsha Guillaume, MPH.”
