We were honored to share the stage with BJC HealthCare and WashU Medicine at this year's Congress of the AANA / American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology in Boston.

The annual gathering brings nurse anesthetists from across the country together to share research and innovations, exchange ideas, and connect with colleagues who are advancing the profession.

This year, our own Brian Torres, DNP, CRNA, and program director of our Nurse Anesthesia Program, joined Erin Herrera, MSN, CRNA, assistant professor at Washington University in St. Louis, for a collaborative presentation on emerging pacemaker technologies. Sarah Perez, DNP, CRNA, and assistant program director of Goldfarb’s Nurse Anesthesia Program, also contributed to the conversation with a presentation on the physiology of cellular response.

We’re proud to bring our expertise to these important conversations and to work alongside our BJC and WashU colleagues to advance nursing anesthesia and the future of health care.

One thing parents of young children seem to have in common is a lack of sleep. Sarah Farabi, PhD, RN, assistant professor at Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing, is working to change that.

In addition to her ongoing research at Goldfarb, Dr. Farabi also holds a courtesy assistant professor appointment at the WashU Bursky School of Public Health, which is an active partner of the St. Louis-based Parents as Teachers National Center (PAT), one of the largest home-visiting educational groups in the country.

Dr. Farabi recently appeared on the Parents as Teachers podcast to discuss ways PAT educators can recognize and mitigate the impact of sleep issues in young families. Now she's working with PAT to integrate sleep education into its national curriculum. Thank you, Dr. Farabi, on behalf of sleepy parents everywhere!

Recent Goldfarb graduate Katelyn is stepping into her dream role this September as a pediatric oncology nurse at St. Louis Children's Hospital–a specialty that’s deeply personal to her.

Katelyn’s dad, Jeffrey, was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 16 and received treatment at Children’s. Throughout her childhood, Katelyn's dad shared memories of the many nurses who supported him throughout his experience, ultimately inspiring Katelyn to choose nursing as well.

At Goldfarb's recent pinning ceremony, when students mark the transition from learner to nurse, Katelyn’s dad placed her nursing pin. This full-circle moment represents both his journey and the opportunity Katelyn now has to care for children and families facing similar challenges.

Thank you, KMOV, for sharing Katelyn's story. You can watch it here: https://heyor.ca/OdW0g8

"You are the best we have," she told the graduates, praising them for the "hard work, determination and passion" that brought them to this day.

A new, streamlined path to an exceptional nursing education is now available right here in St. Louis.

Students who enroll in the Direct Admit BSN Program will have a guaranteed seat at both Webster and Goldfarb and will earn two degrees in four years: a BA in Biology from Webster and a BSN in Nursing from Goldfarb.

This program will provide students with a rich foundation and clinical excellence that will take them far in their nursing careers.

Pinning marks the beginning of each graduate’s new chapter as a nurse. Thursday, our graduates will receive their nursing pins and officially step into the profession. Meet some of our graduates and the people who inspired their journeys:

✨Alana chose her sons, Carter and Mac, in honor of the support they provided throughout her nursing school. Their encouragement and belief in her made this achievement a family accomplishment.

✨Angela chose her husband, Brian, in recognition of the unending support he gave her during nursing school. Angela was inspired by her son, Triston, to build a brighter future and encouraged at every step by Brian’s unwavering faith in her.

✨Destiny chose her former preceptor, Kaylee, after the lasting impact she made during her externship at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Kaylee exemplifies the kind of compassionate, curious nurse she hopes to become.

✨Hannah chose her longtime friend and mentor, Lauren Rackers, AG-ACNP. After meeting nearly a decade ago, Lauren’s guidance and passion for emergency medicine inspired her own nursing journey.

✨Jada chose her boyfriend, Tanner, whose own life-threatening car accident during her first week of nursing school didn't prevent him from encouraging Jada every step of the way.

✨Katelyn chose her dad, Jeffrey, whose own battle with childhood leukemia at St. Louis Children's Hospital inspired her. This fall, she’ll begin her dream role as a pediatric oncology nurse at SLCH—a true full-circle moment.

✨Matthew chose his niece, best friend, and chosen sister, Elizabeth Moore, RN, BSN. After encouraging Elizabeth to pursue nursing, Matthew was inspired by her compassion and career to follow the same path.

✨Sophia chose her mom in honor of the strength and sacrifice that have shaped both her life and her nursing journey. Watching her mother’s battle with breast cancer deepened Sophia’s passion for oncology nursing.

✨Tiara chose her granny for the love, faith, and encouragement. By introducing Tiara to God and reminding her that all things are possible, her granny helped her achieve her dream of becoming a nurse.
