     Your Committee received testimony in support of the nomination for the appointment of Doreen Nakamura from the Hawaii State Center for Nursing, Times Pharmacy, and seven individuals.

 

     Upon review of the testimony, your Committee finds that Dr. Nakamura's background and dedication to serving the public qualify her to be appointed to the Center for Nursing Advisory Board.  Your Committee notes that Dr. Nakamura has thirty-five years of experience in nursing, ten years of which has been in a leadership capacity, which includes supporting professional development and continuing education.  Dr. Nakamura is currently the Director of Clinical Care at UHA Health Insurance.  Your Committee finds that Dr. Nakamura is a registered nurse with a doctorate in nursing practice and her knowledge and experience in nursing will enhance the effectiveness of the Center for Nursing Advisory Board.  Your Committee therefore recommends that Dr. Nakamura be appointed to the Center for Nursing Advisory Board based on her background, knowledge, and desire to contribute to the community.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.
