Meghan O'Regan Coleman, MSN, RN, CRNP, AOCNP, a member of the inaugural cohort of the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) program at Villanova University College of Nursing, has won the Clinical Innovation Award at the 2013 Sixth National Doctors of Nursing Practice Conference in Phoenix, AZ held September 25 - 27. She was recognized for her electronic poster presentation, “AN APN Homecare Intervention: Implementing Evidence Based Coping Mechanisms for Breast Cancer Patients” --one of 75 posters at the conference.
The project included 25 women who were receiving chemotherapy at Bryn Mawr Medical Specialists in Bryn Mawr, PA. The entire staff championed for the success of this project, Coleman notes, "Without their support, the outcomes could have been very different."
