NAPCRG is a multidisciplinary organization for primary care researchers. “Through all phases of a project from conceptualization to dissemination, LeAnn helps facilitate organization, management, and execution. She’s the secret ingredient for many of these projects through which the work gets done," said Melinda Davis, Ph.D., associate professor of family medicine and interim director of ORPRN in her document nominating Michaels for the award. Congratulations director Michaels.
Gayle Murphy BSN, RN, CMSRN and Barbara Bonnice DNP, RN, NE-BC were awarded funds from the Oregon Center for Nursing RN Wellbeing grants. Their project aims to improve nurse well-being through a social support focused Peer-Facilitated Peer Learning Circle (PLC) model. Moving from a “self-care” philosophy of wellness to a social support philosophy shifts the responsibility for improved well-being from the individual to the collective. The model will connect nurse participants and peer facilitators over six months. This project will also develop flexible resources, as trained Peer Facilitators can move across areas of the organization in times of stress to support areas of need. Congratulations and way to go promoting well-being among nurses!
