Dr. Martha Baker, program director and professor at Southwest Baptist's St. John's College of Nursing and Health Sciences, was recently voted president-elect of the National Alaska Native American Indian Nurses Association (NANAINA). Baker had served as NANAINA secretary and newsletter editor before her election as national president.
At the NANAINA's 12th annual summit "Honoring our Traditions" in Tempe, Ariz., Baker presented a paper, "Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among American Indian Women," and also served as coordinator for the First Founders' Symposium that honored Dr. Roxanne Struthers.
Serving as project coordinator for the Competence in Aging grant for NANAINA, Baker was also recognized for her article, "Cardiovascular Risk Factors among American Indian Women," published in the September 2006 issue of Journal of Gynecological and Neonatal Nursing.
Dr. Carole Eldridge, assistant professor at St. John's, successfully defended her doctoral project, "Creating an Online Training Center for Faculty in a College of Nursing" in November. Her degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice was awarded by Rush University.
Eldridge has written a series of training modules, including 25 modules for long-term care nurses and aides with Thomco Insurance Company, an insurer of long-term care agencies.
She also prepared two continuing education activities, approved by the Texas Nurses Association, for registered nurses at Trinity Hospice.
