UBNursing Magazine: 2022 Issue

A transition to concept-based curriculum: Donna Fabry, DNP, RN, CNS, clinical associate professor and coordinator of pre-licensure programs at State University at Buffalo School of Nursing, has been a faculty member since 2010 and a nurse for 40 years. Over the span of her career, the number of medications, technologies, complex processes, and diagnoses of diseases and conditions have all grown exponentially. But how nursing students are taught has gone largely unchanged over that same period.

COVID-19 played havoc with the School of Nursing’s best-laid plans to continue Remote Area Medical field experiences for its students. But in fall 2021 students and faculty resumed their in-person service with the organization in rural and underserved areas.
