Oakton Nursing Professor Wins Teaching Award
Oakton Community College adjunct nursing professor Rose Goss is the winner of the 2005 Greater Chicago Nursing Excellence Award in Teaching.
The award honors nurses who have made significant contributions in education, professional development, and long term learning of nurses. Goss, an adjunct Oakton faculty member since 2000, received the award April 29 at the Drury Lane Oakbrook Terrace.
"Rose plays an important role as lead instructor for Oakton's Nursing Practice Review course," said Sandra Kubala, chair of Oakton's nursing department. "This course reaches out to inactive nurses in the community, to help them meet the requirements to work again."
Oakton is one of the few Illinois colleges that meet state regulations for nurses who wish to reenter the work force, but have not worked in the nursing field for more than five years. Oakton also reaches a new and growing number of foreign nurses that need to meet credentialing requirements set by the Commission on Foreign Graduates of Nursing Schools (COFGNS). Goss, a resident of Grayslake, is involved with the ongoing collaboration between Oakton, the Nursing Department, and hospitals throughout the community to meet these challenges.
The Nursing Excellence Awards program was created by two publications, Nursing Spectrum and NurseWeek, to recognize the extraordinary contributions nurses make to their profession. Regional and national awards are presented in six categories: Advancing the Profession, Clinical Care, Community Service, Leadership, Mentoring, and Teaching.
All of the regional winners will be highlighted in the June issue of Nursing Spectrum magazine and are now eligible for national awards consideration.
