Dear colleagues,

Vanakkam

Gethsial Kiruba, who edits the NIGHTINGALE, reveals on the Feb 15th edition, a Brave New World our Nurse-Authors and Dietician-Authors are exploring.

(1). Kanimozhi, Nurse Educator from Hosur, publishes her project to reduce Ventilator Associated Pneumonia.

The Quality Improvement Project won State level CII-QC competition, was selected among the top ten at regional level and has been selected for National Level competition. Kudos!

(2). Nurses present FIVE case reports!

Leema Rebakkal Rosy and Prabhavathi from Tennur present “Rare disease, desired outcome!”

Vijayalakshmi and Arul Kumar from Heart City present “Acute Myocardial Infarction with Stroke”.

Kanimozhi, Cesilypriya, Yuvashri and Ramya, from Heart City, present ‘Left Mediastinal Tumor Excision’.

Ramada, Dr Vadivel kumaran and Vanitha from Chennai present ‘Esophageal varices Grade III.’

Monica and Parimala from Chennai present Tb Meningitis’.

(3). Dieticians then take over the baton in this relay!

Yamini Prakash from Chennai leads with ‘ Nutrition care process for Sigmoid Diverticulitis’.

Rajeswari from Salem writes on

‘Nutritional management after emergency laparotomy for excision of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor’.

Rajeswari writes again on ‘Nutritional Management of Gestational Diabetes.’

Jenifer Theresa from Tennur writes on’ Nutrition and Drug interaction.’

The NIGHTINGALE also has our poets singing!

Infact, GK Balasubramani from Salem, sings THRICE, with “காவேரித்தாய்-2, மக்களின் நம்பிக்கை and ஊசியின் மகத்துவம்!’

Do read, and sing, for the NIGHTINGALE.

Best regards

Kauvery Hospital
