Dr. Lynette Hamlin, dean of the Mary Black School of Nursing, began serving on the Elsevier Nursing Advisory Council in October 2010. As the world’s leading nursing publisher of science and health information, Elsevier is committed to staying connected with key opinion leaders in the field of nursing education. Serving on Elsevier’s Nursing Advisory Council will provide Hamlin with a unique forum to interact with her colleagues on a number of key issues facing nursing education. Elsevier serves more than 30 million scientists, students and health and information professionals worldwide. Elsevier helps customers advance science and health by providing world-class information and innovative tools that help them make critical decisions, enhance productivity and improve outcomes.

Nursing is a cumulative array of knowledge and skill and preparing nursing students today requires a cumulative effort that incorporates a variety of teaching tools, as well as innovative technology and methods. Recognizing the value of such an overarching effort drives Dr. Deborah Charnley in her role as program manager for the Joint Center for Nursing Research and Scholarship.

Her leadership, instincts and ability to bring together resources and people provides practical and advanced solutions that help the Mary Black School of Nursing at USC Upstate stay ahead of the curve. As a result, more – and better-prepared – nurses are graduating and meeting the health needs of Upstate South Carolina.
