But luckily for some women, they\u2019re not alone. Carole Kenner and all of the nurses she has educated and mentored throughout her career at schools like Northeastern University, where she served as dean of the School of Nursing and associate dean of Bouv\u00e9 College of Health Sciences, and the University of Oklahoma, where she was dean of the College of Nursing in Oklahoma City, are there to help.<\/p>\n<p>Kenner now brings that expertise and guidance to TCNJ, where she\u2019s already begun to address national and global healthcare issues as the new Carol Kuser Loser Dean of the School of Nursing, Health and Exercise Science. \u201cWith Carole\u2019s appointment,\u201d says TCNJ <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9046\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kenner_nursing-dean.jpg\" alt=\"kenner_nursing-dean\" width=\"135\" height=\"150\" \/>Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Jacqueline Taylor, \u201cthe school is poised to move forward in exciting and innovative ways as we respond to our state\u2019s and region\u2019s healthcare needs.\u201d But Kenner, known as the \u201cmother of neonatal nursing,\u201d who started the <em>Newborn and Infant Nursing Reviews<\/em> journal and edited a go-to text for nursing students now in its fifth edition, hasn\u2019t forgotten about the very important work of bringing healthy babies into the world. At TCNJ she\u2019ll continue to advance global policy, education and training aimed at reducing infant mortality rates. So you can bet she has some advice for all the parents out there: Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions (you are an essential part of the healthcare team and nobody knows your baby\u2019s behavior like you do), and, of course, enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Maureen Harmon, with reporting by Emily Dodd.
