Representatives of the Mayville State University Division of Nursing participated in the 21st annual Sanford Nursing Symposium held May 4, 2023 at the Avalon Event Center in Fargo, N.D. The symposium was designed to enhance and advance nursing practice as nurses who attended experienced the wide array of learning opportunities that refresh skills, renew purpose, and revitalize spirit. Five Mayville State nursing program faculty and one student enrolled in Mayville State’s Master of Science in Nursing program attended and participated in the event.
Dr. Cary Haugen, dean and assistant professor in Mayville State’s nursing program, presented on the topic Competency Based Technology to Improve Learning Outcomes in Nursing Pharmacology. In her presentation, she explored the relationship between technology-enabled mastery learning and the learning outcomes of Bachelor of Science in Nursing students in the area of pharmacology.
Mayville State Master of Science in Nursing student Ashley Rambousek’s presentation topic was Transgender Health 
Care Content in Undergraduate Nursing Curriculum. She explored knowledge and competency in transgender care in a local nursing program. Advised by Mayville State Assistant Professor of Nursing Dr. Janell Juelich, Rambousek graduated with her MSN in Nurse Education in May of 2023.
At the symposium, Mayville State University Division of Nursing faculty had the opportunity to share information about Mayville State’s fully online RN-to-BSN and MSN programs.
