Nursing Department Hosts Scholarly Presentations

Diane Tager (NHS'07) and Jordan Ross (NHS'07)

On Wednesday, April 25, the Department of Nursing at NHS hosted an all-day series of scholarly presentations in the ICC Auditorium.

More than 30 nursing seniors presented on topics ranging from palliative care and HIV/AIDS, to pain assessment and health disparities.

One duo, including students Jordan Ross (NHS'07) and Diane Tager (NHS'07), spoke about, "Surviving Sepsis: Analysis of Professional Practice."

"[Nurses] are really advocates for the patient," said Tager. "The main goal of the project is to save patients' lives."

"The overall hope is that we can reduce mortality...and keep patients alive," added Ross.

Another team addressed "The Icon Otherwise Known as Pain: Assessment and Management of English vs. Non-English Patients in the Emergency Department."

"Nurses to need to be an advocate for pain assessment and management," said Emily Quinn (NHS'07), during that presentation.
