As we lead up to Veterans Day, we are honored to spotlight members of the Penn Nursing community who have served in the military, sharing what Veterans Day means to them.

We begin with Associate Director of Admissions, Chris Jermyn, Petty Officer 2nd Class, United States Navy (2012–2018).

"Veterans Day is an opportunity for self-reflection and appreciation. It is a day to remember the friends, moments, and journey. Everyday we enjoy the comforts of our own home, we should remember that somewhere in the world a soldier, sailor, marine, or airman is standing a post, protecting us all."

Join us in person on Thursday, November 13, for Penn Nursing's Veterans Day Celebration as we honor those who have served our country. Register here: https://www.nursing.upenn.edu/calendar/event/from-the-frontlines-to-the-bedside

In our latest Nurse Led. Evidence-Driven. Future Focused. Series, we feature Kathryn H. Bowles, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACMI, whose groundbreaking work is transforming care for sepsis survivors.

Dr. Bowles shares how her journey from critical care nursing to research revealed a powerful insight: Among 170,000 sepsis survivors transitioning from hospital to home health care, only 4% had sepsis noted in their health record. This gap meant countless patients missed the follow-up care they truly needed.

Thanks to her research, new systems and alerts are being built, and a new ICD-10 code for sepsis survivors now helps ensure these patients are recognized and supported throughout recovery.

“You never know how you're going to impact someone with nursing science,” Dr. Bowles reminds us.

The next video in our "Nurse-led, Evidence-Driven, Future Focused" series is now available.

Many providers aren’t trained or comfortable with pediatric care, leaving families without the critical support they need at home. In this video, Jackelyn Boyden, PhD, MPH, RN discusses how her research at Penn Nursing focuses on addressing these gaps by aligning care with what families truly need.

Nurses are uniquely positioned to offer holistic, family-centered care, and Jackelyn’s work emphasizes empowering families and improving care based on their lived experiences.
