Skipper and Zanetos Publish Chapter and Article

February 8, 2021

Georgia Southern University Assistant Professors, Alan Skipper, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, and Joanne Zanetos, DNP, MSN, RN, have published both the chapter, “Sexual Dysfunction in the Older Adult” in the Handbook of Geropsychiatry for the Advanced Practice Nurse and the article, “Georgia Death and Dignity Act: The Controversies” in the Journal of Gerontological Nursing.

Skipper and Zanetos along with colleague Matthew Keeslar authored the chapter “Sexual Dysfunction in the Older Adult” which observes the sexual behavior of aging adults. The chapter also examines multifactorial conditions that contribute to sexual problems of these adults.   

“Georgia Death and Dignity Act: The Controversies” discusses the Georgia Death and Dignity Act, which is currently in the legislative process for potential votes. This bill would give precedence for physicians to legally prescribe terminally-ill patients prescriptions to aid in dying.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements.  Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
