The Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing BRAND Program named Campbell County Memorial
Hospital (CCMH) the Community Partner for 2014. "The working relationship between
Gillette’s Campbell County Memorial Hospital (CCMH) and BRAND is a model of cooperation
and leadership," says BRAND faculty coordinator Candace Tull. "This relationship benefits
the profession of nursing, provides excellence in patient care and a legacy for many
students to come. We are proud to announce Campbell County Memorial Hospital in Gillette
as BRAND’s 2014 Community Partner."
CCMH is an integral partner in the implementation of the BRAND program. Students are
welcomed in fall, spring and summer semesters to fulfill various clinical requirements.
CCMH hosts students in every aspect of patient care, providing clinical experiences
from newborn to end-of-life care and everything in between. Consequently, student
evaluations of CCMH are consistently positive. To cap it off, many BRAND students
enjoy employment there following graduation.
"Key to the CCMH/UW partnership is the management CCMH personnel provide," Says Candace
Tull. That personnel includes Deb Tonn, RN, MS, Vice President of Patient Services;
Anne Raga, RN, MSN, Director of Nursing; Veronica Taylor, RN, MS, CIC, Director of
Professional Development, Infection Prevention and Disaster Preparedness; and Susan
Howard, RN, MSN, Senior Professional Development Specialist. "They are quick to facilitate
students’ experiences as well as clinical faculty placements, and are consistently
available to problem-solve challenges. They welcome as many students as they can—with
enthusiasm," says Tull.
