Illinois Board of Higher Education issued the following announcement on July 15.

The Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) and the Illinois Nursing Workforce Center (INWC) Advisory Board are proud to acknowledge the 2020 Nurse Educator Fellow recipients, each of whom is awarded $10,000 to help promote excellence in nursing education.

"The projects, research, and plans for additional degrees and certifications that this group of nursing faculty is pursuing is beyond impressive and will allow them to improve their teaching and skills to support the next generation of the nursing workforce," said Ginger Ostro, executive director of IBHE. "We are proud of each one of this year's nurse educator fellows and we appreciate Gov. JB Pritzker's and the Illinois General Assembly's commitment to this program."

Several fellows are pursuing master's and doctorate degrees or certifications, learning new teaching techniques for student nurses, and preparing to present research findings on the national level.

The fellows have created multiple projects including the creation of an online elective course in global health, attended conferences on specific nursing specialties such as vulnerable populations and pediatrics, used technology in health records, purchased CPR equipment for classes, and developed a diabetes and cardiovascular-related resource for clinicians.
