How do we “make the case”for our research? How do we frame communications to build trust in science? Looking forward to learning more from Krista Longtin, PhD during the American Academy of Nursing CANS state of the science conference!

Are you prepared? All school nurses should have a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan in place for your students and staff. Schools that practice Sudden Cardiac Arrest drills have a 70% chance of a positive outcome versus 10% survival for those that do not. Healthcare providers know the power of practice. If you don't practice, you are not prepared. https://lnkd.in/gqpssMAB

Baccalaureate Nursing Competencies Met: Evidence-based Practice, Patient-Centered Care, and Quality Improvement Last semester, I completed an evidence-based research paper on the diagnosis, treatment, and adverse effects people with Chronic Pain associated with Spinal Cord Injuries (SCIs) face in their everyday lives. This research allowed me to meet the Baccalaureate Nursing Competencies of Evidence-based Practice, Patient-Centered Care, and Quality Improvement.

Critical discussion of ideas central to the decolonization of nursing from our siblings in the Global South. Truly an informative paper challenging current notions and discourse in the profession.

👶 May is NEC Awareness Month! 👶 As we observe NEC (Necrotizing Enterocolitis) Awareness Month, let's shed light on its impact not just on infants, but on their families and healthcare teams too. NEC is a serious intestinal disease that primarily affects premature infants, but can also occur in full-term infants. Its effects can be devastating, leading to severe complications and even death if not promptly treated. For families, NEC brings immense stress and worry. Watching a newborn battle such a condition can be emotionally draining and financially challenging. It often disrupts the joyous early moments of parenthood and requires families to navigate a complex healthcare journey. On the healthcare front, NEC poses significant challenges for the medical team. Treating NEC requires a multidisciplinary approach involving neonatologists, pediatric surgeons, nurses, dietitians, and other specialists. Coordinating care, making critical decisions, and providing support to families demand not just medical expertise, but also compassion and empathy. This NEC Awareness Month, let's raise awareness about this condition and its ripple effects. By advocating for better research, improved healthcare practices, and increased support for affected families, we can strive towards better outcomes for our tiniest fighters. #NECAwarenessMonth #NICU #Preemies #Famlies #HealthcareTeam
