I am a Nurse; Together we are SDNA

Cultural Covenant

As nurses, SDNA members and elected/appointed officials, we need each other to create nursing’s future.

Our issues are big and require the best thinking of each and every one of us.

Therefore, we shall demonstrate through our behaviors and preparation our commitment to the spirit and purpose of SDNA.

We recognize that we are more alike than we are different, but we know that differences often lead up to better decisions.

We believe that passion is positive and confrontation is counterproductive.

We affirm the value of each person.

We shall create an atmosphere of acceptance, demonstrating care for each other, as we do our patients.

We shall listen to each other so each voice will feel heard.

We shall respect each other’s opinions.

We shall be positive and open to new possibilities.

We shall build on our past by focusing on our future.

Through consideration, collaboration, compromise and consensus we can achieve our common goals.i

If not us, who?If not now, when?

Dakota; BSN, MSN, South Dakota State University• Area of Practice: Education/Administration/Medical-

Surgical• Present position and place of employment: Sioux Falls Site

and Graduate Coordinator, South Dakota State University College of Nursing

• Personal Statement: I have been a member of SDNA/ANA for many years. During that time I have not only witnessed and observed that the ‘constant’ over the years has been ‘change’. It’s inevitable. However, what is different from the discussions of the past is the positive focus and support towards wellness and access to care. This debate has been ongoing for 50+ years but we are finally making positive ground. The role that nurses have now and will have in the upcoming years will continue to change. As professional nurses, we need to be aligned and positioned to create a healthcare environment that will provide quality care to ALL persons. I support the National agenda to expand healthcare access and look forward to collaborating with National and State members of Nurses Associations to accomplish this. It will involve dialogue and compromise from all to reach this goal, but I believe as nurses we can and should be the ones leading the charge. Why? Because it involves the core of our nursing practice. It is also the right thing to do, which is the foundation of the practice of humanity.

• Personal Statement: By nature, those who enter the nursing profession do so to serve others; therefore, they often it hard to report acts of violence and/or aggression. Whether the behavior comes from patients, colleagues, superiors or physicians it endangers not only the nurse but also patient safety. Disruptive, aggressive and violent behavior should not and cannot be tolerated in healthcare.

President’s MessageMargie Washnok APRN, MS, DNP

As I begin my term as president of SDNA I think back over the past 3 years as your vice president. The nurses that I work with and the board members, including the past-president, Becky Nichols, have given of their personal time to help me gain a better understanding of SDNA, so this next year I can become an effective president. I am very fortunate to have had this chance to be a part of our great organization in one of the highest office we have, and to continue with my role as vice president and president for 2014-2015. Brittany Novotny has helped me understand even more the important work that our lobbyists do in Pierre to make our voice heard and to bring back pertinent information to the members. It is very important for our SDNA members provide input about healthcare-related topics to our legislators and believe me, they listen. It is also very important for our members to provide information for our two U.S. Senators and one U.S. Representative, so our voice can be heard and changes in health care can be made at the national level. We have excellent office staff, including our new Executive Director, Eric Ollila, who are dedicated to our vision and are available to assist each district member. Without Eric and Brittany, our office would not run as smooth.

I believe it is very important for all SDNA members to know who their district presidents are, when and where local meetings are held, and how they can become more involved in their local districts, SDNA, and ANA. Access our SDNA website, sdnursesassociation.org, to find the name and telephone number of your local district president.

Our health care system is evolving, and it is very important for nurses to be a part of the planning and decision making for ournewhealthcaresystem.WemustbePROACTIVE,andNOTREACTIVEwhenitcomestoassistingourfellownursesintheworkplace and working to improve our healthcare system.

Meeting student nurses was another important aspect of being a part of the president’s duties. I have already begun this through my work with the NSASD organization as being the liaison between SDNA and NSASD, as well as; co-advisor of the Presentation College Nursing Student Association. I am looking forward to continuing to meet student nurses over this next year.

Over the past year, SDNA has been represented at various activities in South Dakota, as well as at the ANA House of Delegates. Districts have been active by providing first aid at their county fairs and at the state fair, assisting with influenza vaccinations, providing a workshop and a convention to provide continuing education credit and valuable information concerning evidence based practice. And some district nurses have donated food and supplies to their local humanitarian societies and have provided school supplies for school children.

I am looking forward to serving the SDNA members this next year. I would like to come to as many of the district meetings as possible, if not in person, maybe over Skype or Zoom. I urge all SDNA members to consider running for a district or state office. The experience will be rewarding and a valuable experience. If you are not ready to run for an office, consider being chair or co-chair of one of your district activities. Thank you and have a great 2014-2015!

Executive Director’s ReportEric Ollila

I started as the Executive Director of the SDNA on July 1, and it’s already been a pleasure. The energy and enthusiasm I’ve seen in just this short time on the part of SDNA members is incredible and welcome. If any individuals know the importance of both strong, capable, intelligent individuals and of teamwork, it most certainly must be Registered Nurses. A synopsis of the administrative work of the SDNA follows:

Executive Director: The Association contracts for executive director and other office/bookkeeping services. These contractual relationships allow the Association to reduce overhead while maintaining the office and day-to-day operations. The Association is not responsible for office equipment, utilities, maintenance, rent, etc., but is instead benefitting from a sharing of office resources.

lobbying/Government Relations: During the 2014 Legislative Session, Midwest Solutions lobbied on behalf of the SDNA. Legislative updates were emailed to SDNA members weekly to keep members apprised of the legislative issues and the current status of bills impacting the nursing profession and SDNA members. Additionally, teleconferences were held weekly with the Government Relations Committee to discuss bills of interest and the current status of each.

Action Alerts were emailed to membership throughout the 2014 Legislative Session. Please take action when you receive these Action Alerts and please do so within the timeframe set forth in the Action Alert. Bills move quickly through the legislative process. The Action Alerts are sent with instructions and a timeframe to allow SDNA members to participate in the legislative process and impact the ultimate disposition of bills.

We work hard to ensure that SDNA’s voice is heard, but legislators need to hear from their constituents about issues important to the nursing profession – not just during the legislative session, but throughout the year. You will never know what an impact you can have on the legislative process until you get involved!

We would like to thank the Government Relations Committee and its chair, Carrie Clausen Hansen, along with the SDNA members, nurses and students that participated in Nurses Day at the Legislature (NDL) or through the Action Alert process. We appreciate your time, talents and all that you do to engage legislators on SDNA issues. We look forward to the 2015 Legislative Session and hope to see many of you at NDL!

SDNA Treasurer’s ReportAlthough SDNA has adopted a budget predicted to run into the negative for the last several years, every year we’ve been able to work hard and actually land in the positive. This year, we predicted a negative $3,000 budget, but landed at a positive $9,584.92. The Board is somewhat conservative as it sets the budget, knowing that SDNA must be able to realistically meet the goals.

Always the goal is to keep expenses under budget. This year at Convention, we were under budget $1,730.94 with an income of $846.41 plus the auction income of $1,737.13; thus the net positive was $4,314.28. Thank you, Convention planners and attendees. This demonstrates that the annual convention is important to South Dakota nurses.

Another major event this year was Nurses Day at the Legislature. Good weather always helps. Thank you goes to the nursing programs for providing the opportunity and encouraging students to participate in the process to advocate on important issues. Nurses Day at the Legislature netted $2,759.68.

Executive Director’s ReportCommunications:Newsletter: Our quarterly publication is the “South Dakota Nurse,” and we mail it to all nurses who hold a license in South Dakota. The Association currently contracts with Arthur Davis Publishing.

Website: SDNA’s website can be found at www.sdnurses.org. We continue to update content on a regular basis to reflect current events and information. Don’t forget that we have a “Calendar of Events” with information on upcoming SDNA activities and events. And the SDNA should have a new website by Convention, so we’ll have something new to explore.

Facebook: If you’ve not done so, please “like” the SDNA. Our Facebook “friends” continue to grow in number. We currently have 195 likes, an increase of 44 since last Convention. We routinely post event information, surveys, articles, ANA information, etc. It’s a great way to stay informed. SDNA’s Facebook page can be found at www.facebook.com/sdnurses.

Membership: As of August 2014, the Association had 387 members, up 10 members from August 2013. We continue to reach out to individuals whose memberships are coming up for renewal prior to, at and following the renewal period. The Association continues to work hard to engage the next generation of nurses.

We also encourage each of you to recruit one new member a year. Are there colleagues that are not currently members of the Association that you could recruit? Nurses need to hear from other nurses on the value of membership in SDNA. If you would like membership applications or other membership material, please contact the office and we would be happy to provide them.

Non-Dues Revenue: Non-dues revenue accounts for much of the Association’s operating budget. With the downturn in the economy, the Association, like many others, saw the non-dues revenue streams take a hit. We’ve worked hard to modify the budget and the way we do business to account for lean times.

The Association has developed continuing education programs and events that benefit nurses. The Association evaluates these programs on an ongoing basis. The Board and districts focus on presenting topics that are relevant and interesting to our members.

District ReportsDistrict 8/9

Welcome to the State Convention from the Brookings based District. Hope that you are enjoying these days of learning and fellowship with other nurses.

District 8/9 continues to try and develop educational sessions along with our monthly meetings. We have been very fortunate to have 2 speakers with ties to SDSU give interesting reviews of their projects. We would like to again thank Dr. Kathy Nevins and Dr. Gina Rowe. During two of the meetings we enjoyed touring of the new “The Neighborhood” and the newly remodeled United Living Center. These are LTC facilities who are enhancing the care of elderly and handicapped in the Brookings area.

One of the main focuses of our District is promotion of the SDNA with the nursing student organization, NSA. We attended the Donna Wright speaker on campus along with the students, and we also spoke to the NSA group during one of their student meetings, explaining the value of becoming a member of their professional organization after graduation. Members of our district attended the annual NDL session in Pierre, as well as our state convention in Aberdeen.

Roberta Olson did again open her home to the Christmas themed December meeting. It is a great opportunity to enjoy her hospitality and beautiful, festively decorated home in Brookings. The food is always super and SDSU ice cream is always a great meal topper. Carol Peterson also opened her home to our group in May. Carol has beautiful collections of glassware, dishes, antiques, and other delightful items too numerous to mention!! Her home is full of amazing things that she and her late husband Charles have collected. Carol spoke of some of her more treasured items and then let us just roam throughout her home!!

Our last meeting before summer set in (for a few weeks!) was hosted by Eileen Bruner-Halverson, along with husband Phil. It is hard to beat Tom Stenvig’s grilled stuffed steak!! The weather cooperated so along with the steak there was a wonderful potluck meal served outside on the deck. The evening included a business meeting, with Long Lake being the view.

Our monthly meetings are scheduled for the 3rd Tuesday in the month. We have been meeting at the Old Market Eatery in Brookings where we order from the menu, have a short business meeting, and then enjoy our guest speaker. We are always open to suggestions and offers of different venues for our meetings.

Sincerely,Eileen Bruner-HalversonPresident, SDNA District 8/[email protected], Ph # 605-530-1298

District ReportsDistrict 10

In April we hosted the Spring Workshop; we had about 30 attend the event. There were six speakers and some great topics covered:

• “PTSDinNurses,”DawnVanRuler,CNS/NP,MS• “SocialMediaandItsEffectonHealthcare,”DarcyShermanJustice,MS,RN,NE-BCandTeresaFrederick• “DrugDiversion,”MariaEiningMA,CCDCIII,LPC-MH,QMHP• “IOM/FutureofNursingReport,”DarcyShermanJustice,MS,RN,NE-BCandLindaYoung,RN,MS,FRE• “AHeadsUponTraumaticBrainInjury,”MichelleVanDemark,MSN,RN,ANP-BC

We considered this a positive event for our district and could perhaps see it as an annual endeavor.

We have taken the months of May thru August off, since this is a time for vacations and family commitments. We are set to resume our meetings in Sept. 2014.

We will be discussing a fund-raising project to fulfill our state funding commitment. We sold coffee last year and this seemed to go over well.

We will also begin our discussion on the SDNA state convention that District 10 will host for 2015. We are thinking about having a contest to come up with the theme for the 2015 State convention. The contest prize might be a money value or paid attendance for the convention.

We are finding that meetings are better attended if there is an educational offering with CEs provided, so we are always on the search for interesting topics, and Becky Nichols has offered to obtain the credentialing needed to offer CEs if given enough advance time.

Again, I am always looking for a way to improve the monthly meeting attendance, which seems to be a challenge for any organization out there today. Still exploring online sharing, possibly a District 10 area on the SDNA web page.

SO GET READY FOR A BUSY YEAR!

District 11Many events have taken place in District 11 this past year; the district had two guest speakers. In October the District 11 nurses held a fund raiser for The Servant’s Heart clinic in Yankton, SD. After the fund raiser Dr. Mark Mabee explained the Servant Hearts Clinic, which is a free clinic for those who may not be able to afford healthcare. He described the clinic as a Christ centered medical mission opportunity. It is held every other Monday at the RTEC building from 5:30-9:30 pm. It provides for the spiritual, emotional, social and physical needs of the clients. The healthcare providers consist of volunteer physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pastoral care, social workers and other volunteers. They see from 12-21 patients/ month. This was followed by Laurie Peterson and Sam Mason who explained the SHARE Program. This program provides an opportunity for anyone to order food at affordable prices.

SDNA Committee ReportsMembership Assembly 2014

The Second Annual Membership Assembly was held June 11 – June 14, 2014 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. This year’s theme was “Nurses Leading the Way”. The American Nurses Association new vision statement: “Nurses creating a healthy nation, a world of opportunities.” Karen Daley, President of ANA spoke on: “A unique moment of time, nurses leading the way in quality significantly decreased the rate of hospital acquired conditions and hospital readmissions.” Health care quality is being measured and so is the payment. Nurses can do more and save money. All nurses understand their scope of practices. Mentors for new graduate RNs need to be chosen wisely to succeed commitment, compassion to patients, their families and the community. Electronic charting does not capture what happens at the bedside. Nurses provide care where the patient is. Collaboration with interdisciplinary team is critical to improving patient quality and safety. Nurses want 2 things to take good care of their patients and to keep their job. The future of nursing is leading the changes and advancing healthcare. “For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future!” John F. Kennedy

The 2014 – 2016 Strategic Goals are:1. Promote a safe, ethical work environment as well as the health and wellness of nurses in all settings.2. Advance the quality and safety of patient care in a transforming health care system.3. Optimize professional nursing practice and the quality of health care through leadership development and by

ensuring full use of the knowledge and skills of RNs and APRNs.4. Aggressively grow membership by acquiring, engaging and retaining members; strengthening the membership value

proposition and increasing ANA’s capacity to deliver customized experiences.5. Strengthen Constituent and State Nurses Association and the ANA Enterprise through mutual partnerships.

The report of the 2014 Dialogue Forums for the 2014 Membership Assembly June 13 – 14, 2014 was presented by Susan Letvak, PhD, RN FAAN Chair, ANA Reference Committee. After much discussion the revised Dialogue Forum recommendations are the following:

Dialogue Forum #1: Scope of Practice – Full Practice Authority for All RNs

The Dialogue Forum topic, Scope of Practice – Full Practice Authority for all RNs, was submitted by the South Carolina Nurses Association.

1. Support interprofessional education, practice and research to promote the full scope of RN practice.2. Encourage nursing research to compare full practice APRN authority states, transition to APRN practice states and

restricted APRN states.3. Educate the public, policy makers and other health professionals about emerging roles and overlapping

responsibilities.4. Support elimination of the requirements for APRNs to have practice agreements with physicians.

Dialogue Forum #2: Integration of Palliative Care into Health Care Delivery Systems: Removing Barriers – Improving Access

The Dialogue Forum topic, Integration of Palliative Care into Health Care Delivery Systems: Removing Barriers – Improving Access, was submitted by the Ohio Nurses Association.

1. Promote and support payments models to improve access to palliative and hospice care including nursing care provided by both RNs and APRNs.

2. Advocate for the comprehensive integration of palliative and hospice care education into basic and advanced nursing education and professional development programs.

3. Support the development and expansion of models of nursing care that include advanced care planning for early identification and support of patient preference for palliative and/or hospice services.

Coalitions and LiaisonsSouth Dakota Nurses Foundation

Tom Stenvig, RN, SDNF President2014 Annual Report

The South Dakota Nurses Foundation (SDNF) was established in 1999 as a charitable organization affiliated with SDNA to advance philanthropic purposes of interest to South Dakota nurses and the health care community.

SDNF continues in its partnership with the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) and maintains a separate donor advised fund within SDCF, called the South Dakota Nurses Foundation Fund. This arrangement allows accumulated contributions to achieve a superior rate of investment return while allowing potential donors to take advantage of SDCF’s tax exempt IRS status.

SDNF continues to grow as an important resource for the nursing community in South Dakota. The SDNF Undergraduate Nursing Education Scholarship fund was recently created as the newest permanent endowed scholarship fund under SDNF. Total SDNF assets in five permanent endowments at SDCF now exceed $118,000, an increase of $23,000 since 2013.

Given the great need to increase nursing resources in the state and region, SDNF’s priorities continue to focus on nursing education scholarships. In the fall of 2014, up to six scholarships will be awarded:

Scholarship Type Amount Number

SDNF Scholarship $1,000 2

Rita H. Walsh Scholarship $1,000 1

Marianne M. Stenvig Scholarship $1,000 2

Dr. Carl and Leona Stadler Scholarship $500 1

We thank all donors who have helped make this possible. Continued asset growth will allow SDNF to award additional scholarships in 2015, and to consider other program areas in addition to scholarships. The SDNF board feels this action gives credence to our charitable mission and lends tangible evidence to justify how contributions to SDNF can make a difference.

Current activities include continuing sales of limited edition prints and notecards depicting SDNF’s purposes to support research, education, and practice. Prints of the artwork will again be available for purchase at this year’s convention. A fundraising campaign targeting prior and new donors is also planned for the fall. Contact any member of the SDNF Board of Directors to make a donation, to recommend other donors, or for additional information.

The SDNF board wishes to thank board members Mary Brendtro, Mary Edelen, Deb Fischer Clemens, Claire May, Brittany Novotny (ex officio), Carol Peterson, Christina Plemmons, Tom Stenvig, Carman Timmerman, and Margie Washnok for their service.

licensure Operations

Erin Matthies our licensure operations manager and Robert Garrigan, business manager have successful converted our licensure operations to a new software program entitled “BigPicture”. We went live with the new program in June without a significant reduction in our services. We now have on-line applications for licensure by endorsement and licensure by examination.

The amendments included: adding the definition of advanced practice nurse to SDCL 36-9 and 36-9A, removing certification as a function of the Board of Nursing in issuing a license to certified registered nurse anesthetist, and to change the nurses’ education loan assistance program to a scholarship program.
