Terry Richard Misner Obituary "Estherville Daily News" Estherville, Iowa 2007-6-5
Terry Misener, Dean of the School of Nursing at the University of Portland since 1998, passed away on May 30, 2007. Dean Misener's memorial was held June 4 in Christ the Teacher chapel on the University of Portland campus. Faculty, staff, students, and family and friends gathered to remember and celebrate the life we called Terry Misener.
Originally from Iowa, Dr. Misener began his nursing education with a diploma from the Broadlawns Polk County Hospital School of Nursing in Des Moines in 1964. He obtained a BSN from the University of Colorado in 1966 and became a Family Nurse Practitioner after completing a Master's degree at the University of California (Davis) in 1973. His Ph.D in Nursing Science was from the University of Illinois in Chicago. Dr. Misener was a veteran of 22 years in the Army Nurse Corps, having retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Dr. Misener's life was full of many outstanding achievements and awards. He was a fellow in the American Academy of Nursing and former president of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). In 1994, the National Organization of Nurse Practitioners bestowed on him their Outstanding Teacher Award. In 2003, he received the prestigious Luther Christman award from the American assembly for Men in Nursing to honor his lifelong work to promote nursing as a non-gender specific profession. Dr. Misener was nationally known and respected among nursing educators for his creativity, visionary thinking and promotion of excellence in nursing and health care. He was the Chair of AACN's national steering committee for the Clinical Nurse Leader program. This past academic year he spearheaded a successful proposal to initiate a DNP program here in the School of Nursing, one of the first of its kind in the nation.
Previously married, he leaves a son and 3 grandchildren, as well as his mother and two sisters. He loved traveling the world and enjoyed cooking and experiencing all kinds of foods. His guiding presence, humor and wit, and the wisdom of his many years experience will be much missed by faculty and students alike.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terry Misener, the University's tart-tongued and brilliant nursing dean since 1998, died suddenly of a heart attack May 30. He was 64. The former Army colonel had fomented a tripling of majors and many millions of dollars in scholarships, and was immensely respected and argued with on The Bluff. "He had a messy office," said acting dean Joanne Warner at his memorial, to much laughter. "Like his mind, it was a complex place housing varied and novel ideas. He was real and authentic, generous and fierce, tactless and enthusiastic, sympathetic and aggressive, active and creative, energetic and innovative. We loved him. It's astonishing to us how many students have said since his death, He was the reason I am here. He left a legacy of courage and pride, and Terry, I tell you today that we will not let you down." Yes, everyone wept.
