Avera Sacred Heart Hospital and Avera Education and Staffing Solutions have been se- lected as an Action Coalition by the Future of Nursing: “Cam- paign for Action,” coordinated through the Center to Champion Nursing in America (CCNA), an initiative of AARP, the AARP Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), to ensure that all Ameri- cans have access to high-quality, patient-centered health care, with nurses contributing to the full extent of their capabilities. Avera Education and Staffing Solutions is working with the campaign to implement the rec- ommendations of the landmark Institute of Medicine (IOM) re- port, “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.” “We are thrilled to add Avera Sacred Heart Hospital and Avera Education and Staffing Solutions to the Action Coalition network,” said Susan B. Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, senior adviser for nursing at RWJF and director of Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action. “The Campaign for Ac- tion is working at every level to build and sustain the changes necessary to improve health care for all Americans, and we know the contributions of Avera Sacred Heart will be invaluable as we move forward.” Action Coalitions comprised of nursing, other health care, business, consumer and other leaders are the driving force of the campaign at the local and state levels. Comprised of di- verse groups of stakeholders, these coalitions capture best practices, determine research needs, track lessons learned and identify replicable models. Ex- amples of accomplishments to date: • Texas is collaborating with nursing education leaders to adopt a common menu of core required classes across 106 schools in the state. • New Jersey is advancing practice by disseminating best practice models that demon- strate the benefits of staff nurses working to the full extent of their education and training. • Indiana has worked with In- diana University to include inter- professional education into the newly designed curriculum of its schools of medicine and nursing. • Virginia is advancing nurs- ing leadership by recognizing and mentoring 40 Virginia regis- tered nurses younger than 40 who positively represent and lead their profession. The campaign seeks active participation from states, na- tional organizations and individ- uals from health care, business, education, government and phil- anthropic sectors to ensure that the recommendations are trans- lated into actions that result in improved patient-centered care. Specifically, the Campaign for Action is working to implement the recommendations of the IOM report with an emphasis on: • Strengthening nurse educa- tion and training; • Enabling nurses to practice to the full extent of their educa- tion and training; • Advancing interprofessional collaboration among health care professionals to ensure coordi- nated and improved patient care; • Expanding leadership ranks to ensure nurses have a voice on management teams, in board- rooms and during policy de- bates; and • Improving health care work- force data collection to better assess and project workforce re- quirements.

Casino From Page 1 VERMILLION — University of South Dakota’s Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) finished as first runner up in their league at the 2012 SIFE National Exposition in Kansas City, Mo., May 22-24, plac- ing the USD group in the top 40 SIFE teams nationwide. USD SIFE completed several noteworthy projects during the 2011-12 academic year that bene- fitted local charities. Some of the 11 projects completed this past year included SIFE’s annual Coy- oteopoly Food Drive during Hunger Awareness Week and a project that teaches resume writ- ing and interviewing skills to job candidates at the Rosebud Reser- vation. Additionally, USD SIFE worked with charities and busi- nesses to collect 7,000 pairs of shoes to be distributed in South Dakota. USD’s SIFE team advanced to the national exposition for the 11th straight year after earning top honors at the SIFE Regional Competition and Career Opportu- nity Fair in Minneapolis, Minn., in March. “A big round of applause goes out to the students, especially the executive team, including Katie Gamber and James Payer our presi- dent and vice president this past year,” stated Mark Yockey, Ph.D., associate professor, Beacom School of Business at USD and SIFE adviser. “The national competition is incredibly competitive. All of the teams are amazing and they all cre- ated and carried out tremendous projects.” According to Yockey, each team is required to do a 24-minute pres- entation explaining their project to the judges and how those projects impacted and changed lives. The competition is judged by business executives from Fortune 500 com- panies such as Wal-Mart, Her- shey’s, Cargill, Unilever, PepsiCo and ConAgra. USD SIFE was one of 156 teams to qualify for the na- tional exposition (out of more than 550). The national exposition brings together the top student, ac- ademic and business leaders from around the country to experience special events, including the SIFE Executive Reception and Dinner, and Top to Future-Top Forum, and provide attendees with unique op- portunities for networking and mentorship. USD SIFE encourages students to complete service-learning proj- ects that teach lessons outside the classroom using real-life situations such as developing corporate part- nerships with area businesses and industries, teaching marketing and entrepreneurship skills or prepar- ing people in need for job opportu- nities.
