Purpose
A generation is defined as a group of individuals who are roughly the same age, and who experience and are influenced by the same set of significant historical events during key developmental periods in their lives.
With multiple Nursing generations working together in the heath care setting identifying and understanding generational differences that influence job satisfaction will help to promote a healthy work environment and a sustainable work force.

Purpose
The nurse navigator facilitates the care of a patient with the diagnosis of sepsis across the healthcare continuum. This includes:
- Promoting optimal outcomes
- Preventing readmissions
- Patient education
- Decreasing length of stay in skilled nursing facilities
The coordination of transition of care starts from the time of admission through the 90 day post acute period.

Decisions made about timing of discharge can be subjective. Definitions of significant bradycardia are multiple, and interventions are variable.
This necessitates an informed discussion with parents about the natural course of apnea, bradycardia and reflux.
The physiology of gastroesophageal reflux and respiratory control have intermingled confounding variables.
Critical thinking is required to educate and support families, however a paucity of research exists. Risks and benefits of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions should be evaluated.
Nurses need increased confidence in understanding how to approach the preterm infant with apnea and/or reflux as well as how to interact with families to support discharge …

The portfolio I have put together is a collection of various pieces that I have composed throughout my four years at Duquesne. Each of these have great importance to me and all together the collection reflects my values and interests in the nursing field. These pieces act to show how throughout my time in the nursing program I was redefining my values and growing from my experiences. From the very beginning of nursing school my professors challenged me to compose my own personal philosophy of nursing. Over the course of the four years, I was interested in various fields of …

The CDC states that 1,545 infants passed away from SIDS in 2014. Safe sleep includes supine, in a crib, head of bed flat, firm sleep surface, tightly fitted sheet, no loose blankets, no toys or supplies in crib with infant. It is important for nurses to model safe sleep practices in the hospital setting. Current compliance with safe sleep in the Intensive Care Nursery is 50%.
AIM Statement:
By August 1, 2019 we want to increase the compliance of modeling safe sleep behaviors for patients who qualify for safe sleep from 50% to 90% in the Intensive Care Nursery.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic inflammatory disease seen in pediatric rheumatology. Despite advances in biologic therapy, many children with JIA will experience morbidity. Treat to Target is a treatment paradigm that involves setting a target of disease activity, using shared decision making, and incorporating clinical decision support. Our clinic aimed to set a treatment target on 50% of eligible JIA patients by December 31, 2019.

- Breast milk is the preferred food for all infants.
- The rate of breast milk use at time of discharge was below the goal of the institution.
- A gap was identified in bedside nursing education, limiting their ability to provide resources and education to mothers. Nursing involvement ensures skilled, comprehensive, and accessible breastfeeding support.

Adults at a higher risk of PONV include:
- Female
- History of PONV, motion sickness and/or gastroparesis
- Postoperative opioid recipient
- Volatile anesthetic and/or nitrous oxide administration intraoperatively
- Pregnancy
- Use of birth control pills

2019 Cohort
Indigenous peoples experience poorer health outcomes on almost every measure of health and wellbeing, when compared to the rest of Canada. For decades researchers have been working independently on addressing health inequalities, yet little progress has been made on closing the gap. This Discipline-specific way of thinking is too narrow and neglects indigenous ideologies of holistic approaches to health. An interdisciplinary approach to indigenous health research provides a more collaborative and integrated opportunity to address the multidimensional aspects of health. This paper has the goals to contribute to the limited research on interdisciplinary indigenous health research.

Background High Fidelity Simulation (HFS) is used across multiple health professions. Despite the wide variety of clinical experiences that Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists (SRNA) possess prior to training, the induction sequence to a General Anesthetic (GA) is a daunting task. Although the efficacy of HFS has been widely studied within undergraduate nursing programs, there are no studies published determining the efficacy of HFS on SRNA training. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of simulation training amongst entry-level SRNA’s and examine any individual participant factors that may influence clinical performance within HFS.

Comparisons Of Preoperative Blood Pressures In Surgical Patients, Brian Stacy, Kenn B Daratha
Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.
Background Surgical patients expect anesthesia providers to provide high quality care. Blood pressure variability must be mitigated by establishing the patient’s blood pressure baseline and sustaining it through surgery. A consensus has not been established on which blood pressure measurement should be used as the patient’s baseline. Blood pressures before surgery in multiple care settings have been shown to vary. This may result in differences in drug and fluid administration, depending on the blood pressure considered baseline by the anesthesia provider. The purpose of this observational evidence-based practice project was to compare mean blood pressures leading up to surgery among …
