Local Member Joins AACN National Staff!

5/4/2014

 
Caryl Goodyear Bruch PhD, RN is a long-time member of both national AACN and our local chapter. Recently, she left her position as the Director of Professional Resources and Leader-ship Development for Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, MO to join national AACN as a Senior Director for the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).

In this new position, Caryl is responsible for the Organizational Effectiveness Department, also called the Research Pod. The focus of this department is to facilitate strategic work and improve the organization's effectiveness. “We complete environmental scanning, target data analysis on a variety of data that we gather and also improve communication amongst and between departments. I have 9 direct reports. In addition to this work, this department also leads and manages the AACN CSI Academy, which is a leadership program targeted to direct care nurses helping them improve and sustain patient and fiscal outcomes in their workplace. We currently have 6 cohorts in this program, Indianapolis, Raleigh/Durham, Boston, Austin, Phila-delphia and New York. We have completed the first 3 and I was honored to have served as the lead faculty for the Raleigh/Durham area. This is an exciting new program and I encourage all to go to the AACN website and check out the In-novation Database which contains all the projects to date. Go under "education" then AACN CSI Academy.” -Goodyear Bruch

Congratulations Caryl and thank you for your years of service to the local chapter. You will be missed!
