Dr. Erin Lundeen, clinical assistant professor of Nursing, and Dr. Connie Perkins, founding director of Nursing, published an article in American Nurse Journal, the premier journal of the American Nurses Association.

The article, "Self-compassion in practice," guides nurses through using self-compassion when faced with ambiguous patient outcomes. It utilizes a case study approach where readers can follow along as Riley Bonaventure, a nonbinary nurse working on a step-down unit, faces emotional turmoil after hearing in a report that a patient deteriorated after their previous shift.
