BETH QUATRARA: Hello.

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:06.520 align:middle line:84%
I'm Professor Beth
Quatrara, and I

00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:08.560 align:middle line:84%
direct the Doctor of
Nursing Practice program

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.900 align:middle line:84%
here at the University of
Virginia School of Nursing.

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:14.960 align:middle line:84%
What sets UVA's school of
nursing apart is the community.

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.130 align:middle line:90%
And I cannot say that enough.

00:00:18.130 --> 00:00:21.580 align:middle line:84%
We really care about
you, you as the person,

00:00:21.580 --> 00:00:22.770 align:middle line:90%
you as the individual.

00:00:22.770 --> 00:00:24.250 align:middle line:90%
You are not part of a cohort.

00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:25.930 align:middle line:90%
You are not part of a class.

00:00:25.930 --> 00:00:28.690 align:middle line:84%
You have the opportunity
to work one on one

00:00:28.690 --> 00:00:31.570 align:middle line:84%
with faculty, one on
one with your advisor

00:00:31.570 --> 00:00:37.640 align:middle line:84%
to develop your DNP project, to
work through your DNP project

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.600 align:middle line:84%
in terms of where you are
at that point in time,

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.130 align:middle line:84%
what knowledge and
skills you have,

00:00:42.130 --> 00:00:48.610 align:middle line:84%
and help you to uniquely address
the practice changes that you

00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:50.210 align:middle line:90%
want to transform.

00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:55.100 align:middle line:84%
And it's so exciting to work
with students at that level,

00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:56.890 align:middle line:84%
and that's really
what sets us apart

00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:59.490 align:middle line:84%
is that we are uniquely
focused on you.

00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:02.650 align:middle line:90%


00:01:02.650 --> 00:01:05.390 align:middle line:84%
I love being a faculty member
here at the School of Nursing.

00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:08.920 align:middle line:84%
I have the opportunity to work
with students to help transform

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.860 align:middle line:84%
them, not only in terms of
building knowledge and skills,

00:01:11.860 --> 00:01:14.160 align:middle line:84%
but more importantly,
their confidence.

00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:19.780 align:middle line:84%
I love working with students who
come in wide eyed, big faced,

00:01:19.780 --> 00:01:25.150 align:middle line:84%
almost terrified to learn and
stretch themselves and help

00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:26.900 align:middle line:90%
them to truly grow.

00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:29.890 align:middle line:84%
One of the courses I teach
is advanced pathophysiology,

00:01:29.890 --> 00:01:33.230 align:middle line:84%
and that name in and of
itself can be daunting.

00:01:33.230 --> 00:01:35.440 align:middle line:84%
At the first class,
one of the things

00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:38.860 align:middle line:84%
we ask all the students to
do is to put out three words

00:01:38.860 --> 00:01:41.110 align:middle line:84%
that they're feeling
right now as they sit here

00:01:41.110 --> 00:01:42.890 align:middle line:90%
in this class on day one.

00:01:42.890 --> 00:01:44.080 align:middle line:90%
And we built a word cloud.

00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:48.820 align:middle line:84%
And I see words such as
terrified, intimidated, oh no.

00:01:48.820 --> 00:01:52.730 align:middle line:84%
And on the last day of class,
we repeat that same exercise

00:01:52.730 --> 00:01:57.160 align:middle line:84%
and I have the opportunity to
see words such as fascinated,

00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:00.340 align:middle line:90%
impressed, proud.

00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:02.280 align:middle line:84%
And that's what it's
all about, right?

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.500 align:middle line:84%
Helping all of our students
to become confident

00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:12.440 align:middle line:84%
and moving from those wide eyes
to those confident postures that

00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:15.490 align:middle line:84%
really just help to show
they're ready for the next step.

00:02:15.490 --> 00:02:18.540 align:middle line:90%


00:02:18.540 --> 00:02:21.390 align:middle line:84%
If I was to describe the UVA
School of Nursing in one word,

00:02:21.390 --> 00:02:23.140 align:middle line:90%
it would be energized.

00:02:23.140 --> 00:02:25.260 align:middle line:84%
And to explain
that, I invite you

00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:26.850 align:middle line:84%
to walk into one
of our buildings

00:02:26.850 --> 00:02:31.470 align:middle line:84%
to feel the positive vibe, the
positive energy of our students,

00:02:31.470 --> 00:02:33.550 align:middle line:90%
our faculty, our staff.

00:02:33.550 --> 00:02:37.200 align:middle line:84%
There is just something
dynamic and energizing

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:41.260 align:middle line:84%
about this place that can only
be described by being here.

00:02:41.260 --> 00:02:43.460 align:middle line:90%
So come visit.

00:02:43.460 --> 00:02:46.000 align:middle line:90%
