BCU Nursing Professor Presents Research at National Conference

SIOUX CITY, Iowa- Barbara Condon, Ph.D., associate professor of nursing at Briar Cliff University, was invited to present her research in the ‘’Health Promotion’’ symposium at The Midwest Nursing Research Conference, held recently in Columbus, Ohio.

Dr. Condon’s paper titled “The Lived Experience of Trying Something New” explores the experience of trying something new from the perspective of persons utilizing an outpatient care facility.

“Trying something new is an experience often encountered in healthcare,” said Dr. Condon. “These findings will help nurses better understand what patients are going through when making decisions regarding their health.”

The Midwest Nursing Research Conference is attended by nurse scholars who represent a variety of nursing specialty areas. The annual conference focuses on promoting and sharing research in nursing, while offering opportunities for dialogue among nurses across the Midwest.

Briar Cliff University is a Catholic institution with an enrollment of more than 1,150 students from 29 states and 11 countries.
