Elizabeth Day (B.S. ’95/N; M.S. ’01/N) is a medical surgi-cal nursing theory, clinical and simulation instructor for Fresno City Community College in California. Currently she is enrolled at University of Phoenix in the Philosophy in Nursing Doctoral Program. Day has gained tremen-dous insight through her nursing experiences, including serving in the United States Navy, intensive care, neurol-ogy, medical/surgical, mission work in Nairobi, Africa, parish nurse and home care. Day won the Excellence in Caring Practice Award twice from the American Associa-tion of Critical Care Nurses. She has co-authored a chap-ter on “Ethical Considerations for Neuroscience Nurses” for the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses Core Curriculum. She is also a nationally and interna-tionally recognized speaker on topics pertaining to stress management, death and dying, spirituality, cultural diver-sity, communication, stress and compassion fatigue. Her signature saying is: “Death is not routine, even though it is a part of life. Neither the patients facing death nor the patients’ loved ones will ever tell you that death is routine. This is where we as health care professionals can make a difference, not only in the lives of our patients, but also in the lives of those left behind.” Sadie Heath Cabaniss Hall, VCU School of Nursing.
