Dr. Beth Bolick has transformed the care of ill and injured children by (1) establishing new standards in pediatric emergency care, (2) conceptualizing new pediatric nurse practitioner role and education models, and (3) advocating for policy changes to improve the quality of nursing care for these children at the state and national levels. As a result of her work and passion the unique needs of this vulnerable population are met by an interprofessional team with highly-prepared, credentialed nurses who have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to assure safe and effective care. Dr. Bolick directs the Rush Acute Care PNP program which is nationally recognized for excellence. She is the co- editor of the text Pediatric Acute Care: A Guide for Interprofessional Practice. Her passion for working with effective teams led to her work with a national RWJF Executive Nurse Fellow project team to provide tools for healthcare leaders to identify, intervene, and prevent workplace incivility and bullying.
