Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 10, 2014 -- National Nursing Centers Consortium (NNCC), an affiliate of Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), announced its initial cohort for the Carpenter Community Nursing Fellowship, an introductory and competitive fellowship program in community-based and public health nursing for current and recently graduated nursing students of all levels. The program is supported by a grant from the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.

Today there are so many opportunities beyond the traditional idea of a nurse that aren’t necessarily addressed in nursing programs.

Fellows will be introduced to the diverse world of public health nursing and career opportunities available in the expanding field of community-based care, which includes nurse-managed and retail health clinics. The curriculum includes best practices of current leaders, technical instruction and important policy shaping healthcare initiatives. Site visits will provide opportunities to interact with current nursing professionals and experience the innovative ideas that are changing the face of healthcare. As part of this experience, participants will have the chance to network with nurse leaders, policy makers, staff at NNCC, members of nurse-managed health clinics and nurse leaders in retail health clinics.

The program launched on December 16, 2013, with a call for applications from Philadelphia-area nursing program students and recent graduates. The instant success of the Carpenter Community Nursing Fellowship was shown by the positive outreach and support by numerous Philadelphia nursing programs and more than 70 applications received for 17 available spots.

The following 17 fellows were selected to participate in the initial cohort of the Carpenter Community Nursing Fellowship:
• Benyam Alemneh, Community College of Philadelphia
• Dorothy Alveranga, Temple University
• Blake Beckwith, Community College of Philadelphia
• Anamaria Booker, University of Pennsylvania
• Slade Bracey, Thomas Jefferson University
• Dulcina Bruyning, Widener University
• Beth Chalick-Kaplan, Temple University
• Tammy Doyle, La Salle University
• Ama Duah, Drexel University
• Kerry Gamble, University of Pennsylvania
• Tiana Hardy, Harcum College
• Nicole Licato, University of Pennsylvania
• Baheejah Mahdi, Community College of Philadelphia
• Kahdijah Muhammad, Community College of Philadelphia
• Emily Wolfe-Roubatis, University of Pennsylvania
• Lauren Wynne, Thomas Jefferson University
• Wendy Zhang, University of Pennsylvania

“Today there are so many opportunities beyond the traditional idea of a nurse that aren’t necessarily addressed in nursing programs,” said Tine Hansen-Turton, Chief Strategy Officer at PHMC and NNCC Chief Executive Officer “NNCC is excited to help these young nurses and students expand their career options.”
At the end of this semester-long program, the Fellows will have a better understanding of the career opportunities available for nurses that are outside traditional settings, a mentor currently working in the field and an increased sense of their own potential and leadership competence in a workplace setting.

About NNCC
The largest organization of nurse-managed health centers in the United States, National Nursing Centers Consortium (NNCC), an affiliate of Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC), works to advance nurse-led health care through policy, consultation, programs and applied research to reduce health disparities and meet people's primary care and wellness needs. Nurse-managed health centers are community-based practices led by advanced practice nurses (primarily nurse practitioners). The nation's nurse-managed health centers reduce health disparities by providing high quality comprehensive primary health care, health promotion, and disease prevention services to uninsured and vulnerable patients in rural, urban, and suburban communities.
