She'll discuss the components and benefits of a novel study to decrease the length of stay associated with the prolonged passive voiding trial. 
  • Monica Beck will present "Safe Management of Patients Undergoing Thyroid Ablation." She'll identify three essential principles to employ when caring for patients undergoing radiation, while ensuring that radiation exposure is as low as reasonably achievable for the healthcare team. 
  • Chia-Chun Tang will present "End-of-Life Experiences of Patients With Terminal Pancreatic Cancer: An Integrative Literature Review." She'll highlight research that addresses end-of-life care for patients with pancreatic cancer, focusing on how nurses can meet this population's special needs.
