Two Rockford DNP students won an award for their research poster at Rockford Research Day, held on April 27 at the UIC Health Sciences Campus in Rockford. About 85 student researchers from across health sciences disciplines presented research.
Jessica Roche and Dawna McMillan were given the CCTS Best Clinical-Translational Research Poster by the UIC Center for Clinical and Translational Science for their poster entitled “Sedation vacation: Policy implementation and decreasing ventilator days in critical care patients.”
Kelly Rosenberger, DNP ’12, CNM, WHNP.BC, FAANP, director of the college’s Rockford campus who also served as faculty mentor, called it a “milestone” that the nursing students were recognized at the competitive event. Both are in the adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner program.
