Do you know other female nurses between 20 and 46 anywhere in the US or Canada?

Harvard School of Public Health 

Nurses' Health Study

Dear Colleague,

Each week brings new headlines about research breakthroughs that wouldn't have been possible without the Nurses' Health Study. All of us at the NHS research team would like to thank you for your active, long-term participation.

As you may have heard, we are recruiting a new Nurses' Health Study 3 (NHS3) cohort of young nurses in order to help enhance our ability to understand how lifestyle, environment, and work-life affect health.

Here's where you can lend a hand. One nurse telling another nurse has proven to be the most effective way to encourage women to join this renowned study. We need your help spreading the word about NHS3. By helping to enroll a new younger cohort, your role in our research is greatly amplified.

Our new "Email-a-nurse" site lets you tell colleagues about this opportunity and takes just a few seconds of your time. Do you know other female nurses between 20 and 46 anywhere in the US or Canada? Click on the link below to send them a message. And don't worry; we won't spam them with any other emails!

At the same link you can also download a colorful "Tell a Nurse" flyer to print out and share with your co-workers.  Any method you can use to spread the word, including telling your colleagues or mentioning the www.NHS3.org online, is very welcome!

If you have previously helped us by telling fellow nurses about NHS3, we sincerely thank you!   To date we have enrolled 20% of our recruitment goal of 100,000+ female nurses ages 20-46.  If you know other eligible nurses, we would be very grateful if you would let them know about the new study and encourage them to visit www.NHS3.org to join.

Thanks again from the NHS3 research team:

The University of Texas at Tyler’s online graduate and doctoral nursing programs have received national recognition from U.S. News & World Report, Dr. Linda Klotz, College of Nursing and Health Sciences dean, announced.

Dr. Susan Yarbrough
Associate Dean of Graduate Nursing Programs

Out of 458 institutions surveyed, the publication ranks UT Tyler in the top three in Teaching Practices and Student Engagement. This ranking examines how supportive the university programs are of students and recognizes strategies to ensure class participation in an online environment.

“I am so pleased that our online graduate nursing programs have received this national recognition. We have always been leaders in the use of innovative technology and teaching methods, and we lead the state in conversion to online graduate nursing education. To be recognized nationally validates the programs’ effectiveness and that our efforts have paid off,” said Dr. Susan Yarbrough, associate dean of graduate nursing programs.

The achievement puts UT Tyler among major universities such as Yale University, University of Florida, Arizona State University, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University and University of Kansas.

Dr. Barbara Haas
Doctoral Nursing Program Director

“The national recognition is validation of our conscientious efforts to engage students through multiple avenues, which has been a priority for us,” said Dr. Barbara Haas, doctoral nursing program director. “The impressive ranking is due to the efforts of numerous individuals and departments, including our instructional design department, technology support team and the nursing faculty.”

Four categories are considered including admission selectivity, faculty credentials and training, teaching practices and student engagement and student services and technology, which UT Tyler also ranked in the top 50.

The UT Tyler master’s and doctoral programs currently enroll 200 students and 56 students, respectively.
