Joyce Jean Fitzpatrick was born on May 4th, 1944. As an influential female role model, she has made impressive progress (specifics under 'Career') within the nursing world and has accumulated many awards as well as written, co-authored and edited a sizable amount of books along the way.

Career[edit]

Dr. Fitzpatrick is best known for her contributions toward advancing the science of nursing education at universities and health ministries around the world. From developing educational interventions focused on HIV/AIDS prevention in Uganda (referenced in one of her co-authored papers in 2002)[1] to designing a 10-hospital project centered on improving the nursing care provided to elders[2], her research has shined a spotlight on nurses’ work life.[3] Her area of research is in dying, specifically how people understand their dying experience.[4] She worked on benefiting the experience of patients through education for nurses throughout her life (referenced in a 2002 article)[2]. Dr. Fitzpatrick’s research focuses on the meaningfulness of nurses’ employment life as related to satisfaction, turnover and empowerment.

She founded and led the Bolton School of Nursing’s World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Nursing (1993–1997), at Case Western Reserve University.[5] The Frontier Nursing Service/Community Based Nurse Midwifery Educational Program would not have been combined or created if it were not for Dr. Fitzpatrick.[6] Her area of clinical expertise is in crisis theory and crisis intervention, which helped her in the economic times during which she became dean. [7] She also served as the first President of the Midwest Nursing Research Society (1980–1981) and the president of the American Academy of Nursing (1997–1999). Dr. Fitzpatrick is currently chair of the board of trustees of the American Nurses Foundation. [5]

She got her B.S.N. in 1966 from Georgetown University. She earned her M.S.N. in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Ohio State University in 1967. She received her Ph.D. in 1975 from New York University, and she became dean of Case Western Reserve University's Nursing School on June 27th, 1982.[8] She also received an MBA from Case Western Reserve University in 1992.[9]

White, the 54the Mayor of the City of Cleveland, named January 10th, 1994, Dr. Joyce Fitzpatrick day in Cleveland.[13] Dr. Fitzpatrick can also be found in the 1998 Irish America magazine's annual list of top 100 Irish Americans.[14] She also received the American Academy of Nursing’s honest honor: Living Legend award in 2016.[3]

Notes[edit]

Career - I tried to find more specific dates as you had asked in the first section to expand it, but the limited information I could find was mostly paper/journals that she had co-authored. I added what I could uncover, but since the bulk of the information in here is from the Archives, anything else form the web is far more vague. But technically, If people wanted to know more specifics about her work in Uganda on HIV, or on the 10-hospital project, I have linked resources for both so people can dig deeper themselves into her papers.

Achievements/Awards/Honors - The information in that paragraph in almost directly taken out of the achieves which didn't reference any years of the awards recites, but I tried to put in the limited info online on past recipients that I could find.

Final notes: There was no information on Joyce's early life in the archives and even less online from my research. I'm sorry, the most I could find was her marital status.
