Pat Ebright PhD, RN, CNS, FAAN, Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Graduate Programs will be retiring from the IUSON May 31 st, 2016 after 16 years with the school. She completed her undergraduate and graduate masters education at the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing and Health, and her PhD at Indiana University. Her healthcare experience includes 46 years as a registered nurse, with the first 28 years working as staff nurse, nurse manager, and clinical nurse specialist in acute care hospital settings. For the past 18 years she has taught in undergraduate and graduate nursing education programs. Pat s research focused on healthcare provider decision making in the context of actual care situations, and toward increasing understanding of the influence of work complexity on patient safety, quality of care, and the implications for system design and nursing education. She was a member of the first Patient Safety Leadership Fellowship class sponsored by the National Patient Safety Foundation, and completed a one-year informatics fellowship with the VA in Indianapolis. She continues to participate in research with the VA on transfers of care, and with Simon Cancer Center for patient and caregiver decision making regarding treatment options using cognitive task analysis interview techniques for data collection and analysis. Pat is looking forward to spending time in Indianapolis with her daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons, as well as in Glen Arbor Michigan playing more tennis, reading more novels, hiking, biking, and hearing about the much anticipated and wonderful accomplishments of nursing colleagues and graduates of the IUSON. Pat wants all CNSs to know that her participation in the education of CNS students, and also past service on the NACNS Board of Directors and conference attendance will always be a highlight of her career.
