a current PMHN student
Pauline Massy, a current PMHN student, was born in Trinidad
and Tobago. Growing up in an underprivileged environment
subjected her to different challenges. People within the
local society suffered with mental illness and resources were
limited in order to satisfy their needs. Many patients were told
that a curse was the cause of their problems. The struggles
encountered by people from her home country motivated
her desire to pursue a career in mental health. Her passion to
make a difference not only in the local settings but around the
globe began to develop from a young age. She had something
to offer society and could make a difference. There were
many different motivations behind her pursuit of the nursing
profession, but she believes that our desires are inherent and
are put in us. Pauline had a desire to help the underserved and
marginalized in society.
This deep desire is what made her the perfect candidate for
the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program. Her craving tailored
to improving patients care and enlightening the lives of the
underserved population are at the heart of what the Nurse
Corps aims to do. In the last few years, Pauline has worked as
a mental health nurse and gained abundant knowledge that
helps her thrive in her studies. Pursuing nursing has
always been in her heart and the desire to serve
the underserved has never faded. Perseverance,
passion and inspiration have brought her this
far, and the knowledge acquired through
her job, voluntary activities, internships,
and education are what prepares her for the
professional task.
*story adapted from essays written
by Pauline for the HRSA Scholarship
she received*
In October 2019, Pauline informed us that she received the
HRSA Scholarship as part of the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment
program. We want to say congratulations to Pauline and look
forward to watching how she continues to change the world.

Who is Victoria? Victoria is the world’s most lifelike childbirth simulator. From early
pregnancy complications, high-risk deliveries, and postpartum emergencies to non-gravid
scenarios for general nursing care, Victoria simulates a full range of obstetrical events to
facilitate teamwork and deepen critical thinking skills in learners of all levels. More than a
childbirth simulator, Victoria is a complete simulation solution developed from decades of
obstetrical experience. It is a comprehensive package of tools and support designed to help
improve patient safety in women’s health through education and training.
For the Give Day campaign in February 2018, a fund was started to help bring Victoria home
to the Fortune Simulation Lab here at IWU. While some funds were raised in this effort, there
is still a long way to go. If you feel the desire to donate to this fund, please feel free to do so.
Donations can be made by visiting www.indwes.edu/alumni and earmarking the donation for SON Victoria Simulator.

Once again, the IWU School of Nursing held a successful nursing camp. Students enjoyed a
week of programming focused on skills and certifications to help prepare them for nursing
school. Campers came from as near as Marion, IN and as far away as Washington State,
Las Vegas, and the Bahamas. After a few icebreakers to acquaint the students with each
other, the students split into five countries/states that represent different geographic
locations that you can study and explore if you decide to attend IWU for Nursing.
These regions include Zambia, Jamaica, Haiti, Appalachia, and Italy.
Each student was given a “swag bag” full of goodies to help them throughout
the week and beyond. Items included in these backpacks were a journal,
water bottle, and a fanny pack containing bandage scissors, stethoscope,
penlight, and blood pressure cuff. Throughout this week, student
experienced various simulations in our Fortune Simulation Lab, basic
skills related to taking vitals, took part in a disaster simulation, were
visited by a Lifeline Transport helicopter, and spent time having fun
on our beautiful campus.
It is always great to see so many young teens who have such a
deep desire to change the world through nursing. If you have a

On November 2, 2019, Northwestern Mutual sponsored an event to raise
money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Alex’s Lemonade Stand is dedicated
to raising money for childhood cancer research. Wildcats Kicking
Cancer was hosted sponsored and hosted by Northwestern Mutual in
conjunction with the IWU School of Nursing. The event, held at the
home football game against the Sienna Heights Saints, was designed
to raise as much money as possible for childhood cancer research. The
Nurses Christian Fellowship student organization manned the lemonade
stand located inside of Wildcat Stadium, selling lemonade to fans. For
each Wildcat kick-off, Northwestern Mutual donated $300 to the cause,
which equals 6 hours of research. To add to the excitement off the day,
two students were selected to kick for scholarship money in a special
half-time event. This amount was also matched by Northwestern Mutual
and donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Eden Weghorst and Andrew
McDaniel collectively raised $1250 for this worthy cause.
Together, we raised a total of $3150 which equates to
63 hours of childhood cancer research! Not only is this
event considered a win for Alex’s Lemonade Stand, but
the IWU Wildcats also won the football game 28-21.
We are proud of all of the students, employees, fans,
and community that came together to help make this
event a success.

Poverty Experience (COPE); hosted by the Interprofessional
Education Task force, in partnership with Circles of Grant County.
The task force is made up of faculty from several of the health
caring professions, including nursing, social work, education,
ministry, and occupational therapy. The poverty simulation is a
medium for experiential education. Participants experience the
realities of living in poverty. In the COPE simulation, participants
are assigned a role within unique family scenarios that were built
from real stories. Over the course of an hour, participants inhabit
their role and seek to live well and provide for themselves and
their families for the simulated time frame. There are a variety
of community resources the participants must visit in order to
navigate the experience – from an employer, bank, to a health
clinic, pawnshop, and grocery store. This simulation provides IWU
students the opportunity to expand their learning and see the
value of interprofessional collaboration in holistically serving and
caring for their clients.
One objective of the COPE is to give participants a greater
appreciation for the complexity of poverty. When you are an
external observer to the culture of poverty, it’s easy to assume
you would make “better” decisions if you were in the same
circumstance. However, participants experience the intricacies
and deficiencies of the systems that perpetuate the cycle of
poverty. The stories participants tell when they finish the
COPE show a greater sense of awareness about the cycle of
poverty, and greater compassion and humility toward those
who are in poverty.
For some, the learning from the simulation is closer to home than
they anticipate. "This simulation felt very real to me," shared a
participant from the most recent simulation in October. "I grew
up in--a family where my dad had to work a lot just so we could
make it. I often felt like I wasn't important to him and wished he
would spend more time with me. In the family scenario I was in
tonight, I was the dad in a family very similar to the family I grew
up in. I ended up making the same decision my own dad did. I
chose to work whenever and wherever I could because it was so
hard to get my family what they needed. I see my own dad really
differently because of this experience. I get it now, why he made
the decisions that he did."
At the conclusion of the experience, students come together to
discuss how the professions can function as an interprofessional
team, who will work with those in poverty to overcome the
challenges and work toward thriving. The COPE is a key learning
opportunity for IWU students. As they transition into professional
careers in any of their majors, they will encounter coworkers,
employees, students, and clients who are trapped in poverty and
have a greater awareness for how they can love their neighbor.
Keep a look out for future COPE news!

word from the VPAA
We have had an extremely busy Fall/Winter here in the School of Nursing. November was the month of accreditation. While our
faculty and staff prepared for accreditation for many months, our site visit was the week of November 11-15, 2019. The Higher
Learning Commission (HLC) visited Indiana Wesleyan University for regional accreditation, and the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education (CCNE) visited the School of Nursing. Both accreditation visits went well.
On November 2, the School of Nursing had the privilege to be part of the Wildcats Kicking Cancer event. Through this event,
we raised money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Alex’s Lemonade Stand is committed to fighting childhood cancer by funding
research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. In 2018, an
estimated 15,590 children were diagnosed with cancer in the United States. Through this event, we raised enough money to
fund 63 hours of research.
Earlier this year, on February 11, IWU held its 3rd consecutive Give Day fundraising campaign. We are thanking God for his
many blessings on this day and the success it was. We raised money for student scholarships and a high-fidelity birthing
simulator. Look for a complete Give Day report in the next magazine.
As this academic year is nearing a close, we look forward to what the future holds.
New students will enroll, we will host events, and we will continue to educate nurses.
Above all, we stay true to who God created us to be and search for his guidance in all things.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Ihrke
