Dear Ministry Partner,
On Tuesday, December 15th, we are honored to talk with two highly regarded international nursing leaders. Our guests are globally recognized for their work and have extensive practical experience in developing countries.
Join us as we talk about an exciting and empowering project for nursing leaders in Kenya that is underway thanks to our guests and the MBF Center for Global Nursing Development. This project will enable Kenyan nursing professionals to develop and publish nursing research based on in-country data. The program will help elevate nursing leadership in Kenya, and the insights provided by the published research will improve nursing practices toward international standards.
This is a discussion you do not want to miss. Join us on Tuesday night, December 15, 2020, at 8 pm Eastern / 7 pm Central / 5 pm Pacific. Please have your questions ready for us. We look forward to you connecting with us live via Zoom or on Facebook Live. If you choose to view with Zoom you will need to pay attention to both the login and the passcode provided for you at the end of this email. |

Meet our Guests:
Joan Edwards, Ph.D., RNC, CNS, FAAN, is a Professor of Nursing as well as Director Emeritus of the Center for Global Nursing at Texas Women’s University in Houston, Texas. She has a BSN from the University of Illinois, MN, from the University of Washington, and her Ph.D., from the University of Texas. Her primary teaching area is Perinatal Nursing, and her research interest is in Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, and Nursing Education and Capacity Building in Developing Countries.
Joan served as the founding director of the TWU Center for Global Nursing and has been responsible for oversight and coordination of global nursing activities involving alumni, nursing faculty, nursing students from all three campuses of Texas Woman’s University.
She is certified in high-risk perinatal nursing and has been professionally affiliated with the specialty nursing organization, AWHONN (Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses), for most of her nursing career, serving as national President of this approximately 23,000 member nursing organization in 2006. In 2019, she received the Distinguished Professional Service Award, the highest honor awarded by AWHONN for lifetime achievement.
Throughout her professional career, Dr. Edwards has had many opportunities to practice globally. She spent four years in Indonesia as a medical missionary with her family, teaching in a nursing program in the jungles of Kalimantan (Borneo). She returned to Indonesia in 2011-2012 under the auspices of a Fulbright scholarship and her project was one of the catalysts to the passage of Indonesia’s first Nurse Practice Act. Dr. Edwards was inducted as a Fellow in the American Academy of Nurses in 2015.
Molly Secor-Turner, Ph.D., MS, RN, is an associate professor in the North Dakota State University School of Nursing and Master of Public Health (MPH) Program. Molly earned her Ph.D. in nursing from the University of Minnesota in 2008. In 2019 she served as the NDSU Faculty Senate President and is an adjunct faculty at the Center for Health Outcomes and Prevention Research at Sanford Research.
A self-proclaimed advocate of social justice, Molly’s work spans more than a decade. Both a teacher and researcher she has strived to bring attention to how societal contexts impact the methods and manners in which society talks to adolescents about sexuality.
Including both undergraduate and graduate students in research has also provided Molly with additional important perspectives. “Nursing research is unique as it’s typically a practice discipline. I like to show my students how to practice curriculum from beginning to end by both working and researching. I’ve had many good mentors in my career, especially in my early years, and they’ve helped me to see that collaboration truly multiplies effectiveness.
She was selected as a fellow in the Society of Adolescent Health and Medicine for her local and global health leadership efforts. At NDSU, Secor-Turner has devoted her career to inspiring future nursing students in classes and through other professional opportunities. She founded the group For the Good Period, providing health education to girls in Kenya and opportunities for nursing students at NDSU to learn about global health care and rural Kenyan community health. And in 2020, she was awarded the NDSU Dean's Awards of Excellence for Public Service.
Blessings,
E. Andrew Mayo
President and CEO
