Working collaboratively with staff throughout the organization, nurses shared valuable information and – by extension – their expertise in a number of important areas ranging from acute stroke care to reducing the prevalence of pressure ulcers. While this is not a comprehensive list, below you will find the names of many of the YNHH nurses who authored or coauthored articles and the topics covered. The second list shows where many nurses presented and the topics they covered. Winsome Smith, RN, a nurse in the Apheresis/Infusion Unit, discusses treatment with a patient.
