Draft:Nurse+Engineer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Nurse+Engineer is an individual who practices nursing and engineering. Originally (1963) described in an editorial appearing in Nursing Research entitled, "The Nurse and the Engineer,"[1] in 2014, Duquesne University was the first instituion to offer a five-year, joint program leading to both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering.[2] Additional dual baccalaureate degree programs are available at Florida Atlantic University[3] and the University of Connecticut.[4]

In 2019, graduate research fellowships were first offered at The Johns Hopkins University to catalyze Nurse+Engineer research,[5] and in 2025, the $3 million NSF-funded SHINE (Strengthening Healthcare Innovation through Nursing and Engineering) project at the University of Massachusetts Amherst was launched as a first-of-its-kind investment in convergence research for the Nurse+Engineer.[6]
Other examples of research products emerging from Nurse+Engineer teams include: self-sampling device for cervical cancer screening for the unhoused.[7]
Examples of individuals widely recognized for advancing the Nurse+Engineer framework, include: Kelly Landsman, a nurse-biomedical engineer from Minneapolis,[8] Marion Leary from the University of Pennsylvania,[9] and Daniel Oerther who promotes the Nurse+Engineer beyond the bedside to solve the challenges of planetary health.[10]
Examples of theory in Nurse+Engineer practice include: Technological Competency As Caring in Nursing: A Model For Practice (2005).[11]
