Succession planning: when an academic merger occurs.

Optimal positioning of nursing in an interdisciplinary college calls for an expanded concept of succession planning that includes broad-gauged organizational and staff development strategies. The process requires time, openness to incremental change, effective leadership within the academic unit, and a well-thought-through faculty committee structure and budgetary authority. At the University of Southern Maine College of Nursing and Health Professions, succession planning has led to structural and budgetary changes and has required a flexible process, responsive to larger university priorities and fiscal challenges, that is shaped by a vision for the future of the college and of nursing.

Building social capital: leading and leveraging constituencies outside the college.

Building social capital for a college and discipline requires actively engaging in the work of the university and creating partnerships with stakeholders outside the university, who share common areas of interest. As a public university dean for the past 5 years, I have found this work demands a considerable investment of time, energy, and stamina to maintain the vision of ultimate success. This article discusses three lessons I have learned in this journey as a new dean: serving as dean involves more than your college; a dean must actively engage in the work of the university as a whole and advocate for other colleges within the university; and a dean must take time to engage stakeholders outside the university.

Infusion nurses' role in care at the end of life.

End-of-life care has received focused attention over the past two decades in the United States. Although end-of-life care has greatly improved, considerable work remains to ensure that all Americans who are dying receive high-quality care. This important work cannot be delegated to one specialty area, but is the responsibility of all specialty nurses interacting with individuals who have life-limiting illnesses. Infusion nurses, in particular, are encouraged to commit themselves to ensuring the provision of high-quality end-of-life nursing care.
