COLUMBUS, Ohio – Seven Ohio State College of Nursing faculty and students celebrated a variety of awards received and two faculty accepted new leadership positions at the 2023 Midwest Nursing Research Society’s (MNRS) 47th Annual Research Conference in Des Moines, Iowa.  

Seven other faculty and student researchers also set to earn awards at conference in March

The Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) will honor several faculty and student researchers from The Ohio State University College of Nursing with prestigious awards at its virtual conference this month.

Several College of Nursing faculty were honored at the 2020 Midwestern Nursing Research Society’s (MNRS) 44th Annual Research Conference last week. Rather than cancel because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, MNRS decided to host a virtual conference with the theme of “Advancing Nursing Research with Diverse Populations.”

At its annual conference on March 7-10, 2013, The Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) recognized Donna McCarthy, PhD, RN, FAAN, associate dean for research and Mildred E. Newton Professor of Nursing, as a 2013 Senior Scientist.

With less than seven months’ tenure at The Ohio State University, Bernadette Melnyk, PhD, RN, CPNP/PMHNP, FNAP, FAAN, associate vice president for health promotion, university chief wellness officer, and dean of the College of Nursing, was recognized as a 2012 Senior Scientist by the Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) at its annual conference.
