“Drs. Rushton and Szanton are stellar examples of nurses who have translated their research and knowledge into tangible and effective health care solutions,” says Patricia Davidson, PhD, MEd, RN, FAAN, dean of the school. “May this recognition be a springboard for their continued research efforts in improving care around the world.”

As Anne and George L. Bunting Professor of Clinical Ethics in JHSON and the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, Rushton, PhD, RN, FAAN, focuses on moral suffering and resilience of clinicians, and designing cultures of ethical practice. In 2014, she co-led the first-ever National Nursing Ethics Summit to prepare a blueprint for nursing ethics in the 21^st century, and in 2016, an initiative to help nurses transform morally distressing experiences into moral resiliency.

Her most recent work has been designing, implementing, and evaluating the Mindful Ethical Practice and Resilience Academy (MEPRA) to train nurses challenged with patient suffering, resource allocation, and other ethical situations to respond with integrity. She is author and editor of a new book Moral Resilience: Transforming Moral Suffering in Healthcare (Oxford University Press).

“Ethical practice is the bedrock of nursing, and we are at a pivotal junction in health care that demands that we reorient toward our moral compass,” says Rushton. “My work has been supported by so many peers and mentors along the way, which has helped make this honor a reality. I am humbled and grateful to have been selected as part of this distinguished group of nurses.”
