I have been a nurse for over 32 years practicing in oncology, and have been a nurse practitioner for 24 of these years and maintain a practice in Stem Cell Transplantation. In what I would describe as the last quarter of my career, I have found myself wanting to really give back to the profession of nursing, particularly to nurse practitioners. With that in mind, I left fulltime practice as an NP and I accepted the position of Director of Advanced Practice at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center six years ago, so I would be in a position to effect change for the profession. I currently have 295 Advanced Practice Providers in my department and have put together an organization structure to support the important work of the advanced practice registered nurse. In collaboration with my leadership team, we developed a post-graduate transition to practice fellowship for NPs, to help these young practitioners not only transition to NP practice but to learn the specialty of cancer or critical care. We received ANCC Accreditation with distinction in 2016 for our Fellowship Training program.

The new LPN to BSN program at the College of Nursing was designed for LPNs to obtain their BSN. Three current students, James Williams, Toni Hall and Colleen M. Barrett, shared with us about their experiences in the program.
As wounded victims came pouring into the civilian hospital in Kharkov after the Ukraine war began in February 2022, Artem Riga initially was the only surgeon on duty. Some colleagues were fleeing the country and others were delayed because of the intense shelling. Doctors had to ration food and medical supplies, performing surgery in body armor, with sandbags on the windowsills of the operating room. A sudden attack significantly damaged his hospital and left patients covered in broken glass and other debris. Amid this chaos, Riga had to teach patients to care for their own wounds.
