For September, we’re highlighting the advisors who help our CNPD students find their path, make connections and work toward their goals. 💚 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐙𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐭!

As the Office of Student Services Manager, Zauna brings together her healthcare administration experience and background in education to support CNPD students in OSS from their first inquiry through graduation.

After 10 years at UND, she still enjoys the opportunity to learn through classes, conferences and, most of all, the people she works with.

Outside of UND, Zauna enjoys spending time with her daughter, whether they’re watching TV, taking a road trip or working on an arts and crafts project. She’s also an oil painting teacher! 🎨

🩺 First-semester nursing students in N300 Foundations Lab explored complementary therapies that can be incorporated into patient-centered nursing care. These experiences encouraged students to look beyond traditional medical treatments and consider the emotional, psychological, social, and comfort needs of the patient. These experiences also helped students recognize the value of interprofessional collaboration.

Students learned that therapies can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, encourage communication, and enhance a patient's overall experience. Students also explored the importance of understanding patient preferences, potential benefits, safety considerations, and the need to consider evidence when discussing complementary therapies.

A special thank-you to our campus and community partners who helped make these learning experiences possible! 💚

For September, we’re highlighting some of our advisors who help our CNPD students find their path, make connections and work toward their goals. 💚 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘂𝗲𝗿!

Valerie, an Academic Advisor and Recruitment Specialist in Nursing, has been part of UND for 25 years and has advised nursing students since 2007.

After graduating from UND with a biology degree, Valerie started working in Enrollment Services (now Admissions) while figuring out what she wanted to do next. She discovered a love for working with college students, eventually earning her master’s degree in Educational Leadership and finding her way to nursing advising.

Valerie loves watching students grow from “wide eyed freshmen to (sometimes still wide eyed) skilled nurses” and being there for them from orientation all the way through pinning. “It’s a pretty cool gig!” 💚

Outside of work, Valerie is a self-described goofball and avid sports fan with a love for musical theatre. She also enjoys reading, running and traveling, lately combining the two with “traveling for running.” 🏃‍♀️✈️

CNPD is part of the UND story, and now that story is stitched into the UND Community Quilt. 💚

The quilt brings together 144 squares representing the people, places and things that make up the University of North Dakota.

From a nursing lamp and stethoscope to a tree, heart, hands, fruits and vegetables, each square contributed by CNPD's faculty and students tells a small part of the CNPD story while showing how our college contributes to the larger UND community.

𝗔 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗱, who helped coordinate the college’s participation in the project.

The quilt was unveiled at the 2026 State of the University Address, bringing the Year of Community project full circle.

📖 See all six CNPD squares and learn the stories behind them on 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗡𝗣𝗗 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴. Full story linked in the comments.

It’s Healthcare Simulation Week!! 🩺 September 14–18, we’re celebrating the people behind healthcare simulation and the important role simulation plays in preparing future healthcare professionals.

Today, meet 𝗘𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗱𝗹, 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, who has been part of UND for nine years!

Ellen’s advice to nursing students? Go into every clinical experience with an open mind and say 𝗬𝗘𝗦 to learning and experiential opportunities. "Even when you have clinical rotations in areas you aren't excited about, make the most out the experience, get involved, and ask questions - who knows, it may be the area you didn't know you needed."

Ellen was born and raised in the Greater Grand Forks area and enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, two daughters and fur-baby. Her family’s favorite activities include gardening, golfing, fishing, swimming and boating. When winter arrives, you’ll find her puzzling and crafting.

And there may be a little destiny involved in Ellen’s nursing career: she shares a birthday with 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗲, the founder of modern nursing. We’ll take that as a sign! 😉

We’re grateful for Ellen and the entire CRSC team who create meaningful opportunities for our students to learn, practice and build confidence.

It’s 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸! 🩺 September 14–18, we’re celebrating the people behind healthcare simulation and the important role simulation plays in preparing future healthcare professionals.

Today, meet 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗚𝗲𝘀𝗸𝗲-𝗟𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝗖𝗥𝗦𝗖 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿, who is celebrating 15 years at UND this fall!

Nancy’s path to simulation started in the operating room, where she also served as a student preceptor. When she saw an opportunity to work with more students while staying in healthcare and using cutting-edge technology, she knew it was a path worth exploring.

Today, no two days are the same. Nancy manages the CRSC schedule, supports faculty, troubleshoots equipment, orders supplies, works with budgets and, yes, sometimes fixes a simulator or two.

What she loves most? Watching students grow from their very first simulation to their last. “Their excitement for learning new things is contagious!”

We’re grateful for Nancy and the entire CRSC team who create meaningful opportunities for our students to learn, practice and build confidence.

And outside the CRSC? Nancy and her family raise and show a small herd of registered dairy cattle at fairs and shows throughout the Upper Midwest. 🐄
