University of Wyoming Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing

A University of Wyoming associate professor with the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing recently presented research focused on a newly understood phenomenon affecting cancer patients’ experiences for the Association for Netnographic Research (ANR).

Jennifer Stephens presented her research, titled “Using Netnography in Nursing Research: The Example of Cancer Ghosting,” to the ANR, a registered nonprofit corporation dedicated to advancing netnographic research globally.

“Up until our presentation at the Oncology Nursing Society Congress in 2025, oncology nurses and providers were only marginally aware of this phenomenon,” Stephens says. “Our study has helped give a voice to those who have been ghosted and has increased awareness of ghosting in the cancer healthcare provider community.”

2026 American Association of Colleges of Nursing Spring Hill Day

On March 31, more than 400 nursing deans and students from 47 states traveled to Capitol Hill to meet with Congressional staff about academic nursing priorities. Dean Sherrill Smith and senior nursing student Natalie King represented Wyoming. And, they even got a quick tour of the capital. A great day advocating for nursing education!
