OHSU Researchers Study How Light Affects Patients
With Dementia
“We do know
from previous research bright lights can affect the brain in favorable
ways, and this study is building on that information. Our goal is to access
the impact of high-intensity, low-glare lighting on older adults with
dementia, such as Alzheimer’s. We’ll be looking at how the
lighting affects residents’ quality of life,” said Susan Hickman,
Ph.D., assistant professor of nursing and co-principal investigator with
Karen Talerico, Ph.D., R.N., C.N.S., assistant professor of nursing, both
in the OHSU School of Nursing. To read more, go to:

Oregon’s Consortium for Nursing Education--A
Revolutionary Partnership
There’s absolutely
nothing ho-hum about what’s happening in nursing education in Oregon.
In fact, it’s, well, revolutionary--although no one uses that word.
The people leading the charge have overcome so many barriers it seems
as if by speaking of them, they might jinx their progress. From an outsider’s
perspective, however, their plan is so innovative it’s likely to
become a national model. To read about the new statewide partnership of
community colleges, private and state colleges and universities--the Oregon
Consortium for Nursing Education, go to:
