Presenters:
Anne Van Offeren Boykin, PhD, RN
My life’s work has been committed to advancing caring science. I have co-authored and edited several books including Nursing as Caring: A Model for Transforming Practice; Healthcare System Transformation for Nursing and Healthcare Leaders; and Living a Caring Based Program. I have also authored book chapters and articles focused on caring, spirituality, nursing as a discipline and story as method for study of nursing. In addition, I have served the profession of nursing in various roles at international, national, regional, state and local levels. My life has been graced in so many ways by friends and colleagues who have supported my hopes and dreams.
In the fall of 2011, I retired. Today I hold the title, Professor Emeritus and Director of the Anne Boykin Institute for the Advancement of Caring in Nursing in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing. This institute provides global leadership for nursing education, practice and research grounded in caring; promotes the valuing of caring across disciplines; and supports the caring mission of the college
Savina O'Bryan Schoenhofer, PhD, RN
In 1990, I cofounded Nightingale Songs, an early venue for communicating the beauty of nursing in poetry and prose. In addition to my work on caring, I have written on nursing values, primary care, nursing education, support, touch, personnel management in nursing homes, and mentoring. My career in nursing has been significantly influenced by three colleagues: Lt. Col. Ann Ashjian (Ret.), whose community nursing practice in Brazil presented an inspiring model of nursing; Marilyn E. Parker, Ph.D., a faculty colleague who mentored me in the idea of nursing as a discipline, the academic role in higher education, and the world of nursing theories and theorists; and Anne Boykin, Ph.D., who introduced me to caring as a substantive field of nursing study.Anne Boykin and I co-authored the book, Nursing As Caring: A Model for Transforming Practice (1993; 2001a). Anne and I were joined by Dr. Kathleen Valentine in co-authoring the book, Health Care System Transformation for Nursing and Healthcare Leaders: Implementing a Culture of Caring (2013).
