Jamesetta (Jamie) Newland is clinical professor emerita at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. A strong proponent of faculty practice, she spent much of her clinical practice time in nurse-managed health centers (NMHCs), holding positions as direct care nurse practitioner (NP), administrative director, and consultant on NMHCs and faculty practice. She has taught graduate students, master's and doctoral, since 1993. Considered an expert in NP education and practice, her services have been sought internationally by schools of nursing in Botswana, China, Japan, and Lithuania, and she was instrumental in establishing new advanced nursing practice master's programs in several countries. 

Newland has numerous scholarly publications to her credit and serves as the editor-in-chief of The Nurse Practitioner journal. Diverse activities in professional organizations demand much of her time, but she remains committed to lifelong learning for adults, including nurses, and promotes building partnerships with patients to provide the best care.

Blaževičiene, A., Newland, J. A., Čivinskiene, V., & Beckstrand, R. L. (2017). BMC Palliative Care, 16(1). 10.1186/s12904-017-0257-1
Abstract
Abstract
Background: Major obstacles exist in the care of patients at the end of life: lack of time, poor or inadequate communication, and lack of knowledge in providing care. Three possible nursing roles in care decision-making were investigated: Information Broker, Supporter, and Advocate. The purpose of this study was to examine obstacles faced by oncology nurses in providing end-of-life (EOL) care and to examine roles of nurses in providing care. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational design was applied. The study was conducted at two major University Hospitals of Oncology in Lithuania that have a combined total of 2365 beds. The study sample consisted of 239 oncology registered nurses. Data collection tool included a questionnaire about assessment of obstacles and supportive behaviors, nursing roles, and socio-demographic characteristics. Results: The two items perceived by respondents as the most intense obstacles to providing EOL care were The nurse's opinion on immediate patient care is not welcome, valued or discussed and. Family has no access to psychological help after being informed about the patient's diagnosis. The majority of respondents self-assigned the role of Supporter. Conclusions: Major obstacles in providing care included the nurse's opinion that immediate patient care was not valued, lack of nursing knowledge on how to treat the patient's grieving family, and physicians who avoided conversations with the patient and family members about diagnoses and prospects. In EOL care nurses most frequently acted as Supporters and less frequently as Advocates.
