ABOUT RIC CUMING

I am honored to join Christiana Care’s extraordinary nursing team to further their track record of excellence in Delaware and in the nation. Christiana Care was first in Delaware to achieve Magnet status in 2010, and is now first in the state to attain re-designation, demonstrating sustained excellence in nursing practice and adherence to national standards. Only 15 major teaching hospitals earned 100 Top Hospitals ranking. Christiana Care is the only hospital in the entire Philadelphia region — and the only one Delaware — to make the prestigious list. Christiana Care has again secured a place among the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals in the major teaching hospital category by Truven Health Analytics, and is one of just 17 hospitals across the nation to win the 100 Top Hospitals Everest Award for being among the select few to set national benchmarks for the fastest long-term improvement among health systems over the last five years.I’m board-certified as an Advanced Nurse Executive by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. I sit on the editorial board of the AORN Journal of the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses, where I served on the national board of directors, and am a member of several professional organizations including the American Nurses Association and the American Organization of Nurse Executives.I’m a 2015 alumnus of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellowship Program and this past Fall(2016), I was honored to be inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (AAN). AAN Fellows are the most accomplished leaders in nursing education, management, practice and research. I present and publish on nurse empowerment, nurse leadership and evidence-based nursing practice.
