o all professional nurses who have a passion for nursing that enables them to
share their values, beliefs, and skills to make differences in the lives of others and
to shape the nursing profession. To Dr. Susan Leddy and Dr. Mae Pepper, who saw
the need for a textbook for registered nurses who were continuing their educational
endeavors. To all the readers of this text who have the courage to take the risk of
returning to school or pursing a professional nursing career. To the following
persons whose actions, values, and beliefs enabled me to live out my dream of
being a professional nurse: my parents, Bob and Helen Chamberlin; Mary Belle
Hickey, RN, my first nurse manager, who always challenged me to be the best
possible nurse and gave me the confidence to pursue higher education; my dear
mentor, Dr. Susan Leddy, professor of nursing who showed me the essence of
nursing scholarship; and my loving husband, Michael, who selflessly gives me the
time, support, and humor to live out my dreams.

In Memory
J. Mae Pepper
January 18, 1936–March 19, 1997
For 20 years, Mae was Susan Leddy’s colleague, coauthor, mentor, and friend. In
1977, Mae joined the faculty at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Mae’s
previous teaching experience at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, New
York University, and Bronx Community College, as well as her vision, wisdom,
and dedication, was crucial to the development and accreditation of the new
baccalaureate program for registered nurses and to the subsequent development of
the first master’s program at the College.
Mae held the position of Chairperson of the Nursing program from 1981 until
her sudden death in March 1997 from a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Although she
talked for years about leaving administration in order to do more scholarly work,
she continued to serve as Chair out of a sense of duty and responsibility. She was
devoted to the students and faculty, and very conscientious in her service to the
College and many civic and professional organizations.
Mae found time to read voraciously, listen to music, care for animals, and to
enjoy outdoor white-water rafting, camping, and bird watching. She loved her
garden, was a careful craftsperson in her furniture refinishing, and liked to go to
garage sales and flea markets looking for collectibles. Mae had a good sense of
humor and loved a good time. Devoted to her friends and family, she willingly
gave time and attention to anyone who asked. She was a great listener, and her
counsel was always wise and kind. Mae lived her belief in mutuality, genuineness,
and respect for others.

Susan Kun Leddy
February 23, 1939–February 23, 2007
For 14 years, Susan was my mentor and friend. We met in 1993 when I became a
doctoral student at Widener University. Susan had a long distinguished career in
nursing education. She set high academic standards for herself and also expected
her students to attain them. Her favorite question posed to us was “So what?”
thereby forcing us to verify the significance of what we said or wrote.
Susan earned a bachelor of science nursing degree from Skidmore College in
New York in 1960. In 1965, she completed a master of science in nursing degree
from Boston University. She completed a doctor of philosophy degree in 1973 at
New York University. Never wanting to stop learning, she did postdoctoral work at
Harvard University in 1985 and the University of Pennsylvania from 1996 to 1998.
During her first 4 years as a nurse educator, Susan taught in diploma schools and
taught in the baccalaureate program at Columbia University before completing her
doctoral studies. She and three other faculties founded the RN-BSN program at
Pace University. In 1976, she was asked to do a feasibility study and generate a
proposal to the state of New York to develop a new RN-to-BSN nursing program
at Mercy College. As program chair, Susan and Mae Pepper both opened the
program in 1977. The two of them realized the need for a textbook to meet the
needs of registered nurses returning to school for baccalaureate education and co-
wrote Conceptual Bases for Nursing Practice that was first published in 1981.
After a trip to Wyoming, Susan became enthralled with the mountains. She moved
to the state and became the first dean of the School of Nursing at the University of
Wyoming in 1981. In 1984, she was appointed as the Dean of the reconstituted
Colleges of Health Sciences at the University of Wyoming. In 1988, she returned
to the East Coast as the Dean of the School of Nursing at Widener University in
Chester, Pennsylvania until 1993 when she gave up her administrative position to
assume teaching responsibilities mainly in the doctoral program.
Susan was a prolific scholar and has many journal publications. After her
retirement and while battling breast cancer, Susan continued to write. In addition to
previous editions of this text, she authored Integrative Health Promotion:
Conceptual Bases for Nursing Practice and Health Promotion: Mobilizing
Strengths to Enhance Health, Wellness & Well-Being. Both of these books
received Book of the Year Awards from the American Journal of Nursing.
Susan made time to travel and visited nearly every place in the world. She found
her trips exhilarating and stimulating. She incorporated many of the ideas from her
travels into her Human Energy Model. Susan also enjoyed quilting, weaving, and
dabbling in watercolors. She was very energetic and always had a project to
accomplish.
Susan deeply loved her daughters, Deborah and Erin, and made certain that they
6
had what they needed to pursue successful lives. She adored her granddaughter,
Katie, who always got her to laugh and smile even through some very rough times.
Susan exemplified the life of a true scholar, superb teacher, and devoted mother.
It is my hope to live up to the standards of my beloved mentor and friend. I miss
her great words of wisdom and support.
