2016-2017 FISCAL YEAR NURSING ANNUAL REPORT | 5

STAFF AWARDS

The Nursing Practice Council collaborated
with an interprofessional team of
pharmacists, supply chain leaders, and
epidemiology to implement a new enteral
device product for safer administration of
feedings and medication to our patients.
UNC Hospitals was the first on the east
coast to implement these products and
nursing staff participated in a regional
summit to share their great work.

STAFF PROFILES

We continue our partnership with the UNC
School of Nursing to prepare nurse scholars
to shape the future of healthcare through
the Hillman Scholars Program. The UNC-CH
SON is one of three universities chosen
for this prestigious award. Many of our
units participated in the clinical integration
process for students and we have received
rave reviews about their experiences.

I am grateful and extremely proud of
the nursing staff at UNCH for all of their
accomplishments and contributions to our
patients and team members. Our nurses
demonstrate their caring and compassion
every day in taking care of our patients and
families. I have every confidence that we will
continue the great work that we are doing
to better the lives of the people of North
Carolina as we head into 2018. This is why we
believe so strongly in the power of nursing,
and are proud to be Carolina Nursing!

MOVING FORWARD

The Nursing Diversity Council collaborated
with the Nursing Research Council to
conduct a review of literature about body
image as a dimension of diversity. From this
work, they disseminated the findings and
developed interventions.

I am grateful and extremely
proud of the nursing staff
at UNCH for all of their
accomplishments and
contributions to our patients
and team members.

more efficient as a system. Beginning in July
