We are thrilled to start another wonderful year working with our partners at Calmette Hospital and Khmer Soviet Friendship Hospital. Alli and Sarah kick started our mechanical ventilator curriculum with a two week visit working with our Local Nurse Champions. After finishing our pre-evaluation with surveys and exams, they didn't waste a moment, reviewing pulmonary disease and respiratory failure. Beyond the transfer of knowledge and the improvements we see in clinical practice, the most powerful change we find is the blossoming of friendships between our teams and through these professional relationships, the birth of Cambodian Nurse leaders. We at the INP believe that it is not a unique set of knowledge or skill that we share, but it is the role modeling of autonomous nursing that we exude. Yes you must have the training and knowledge to successfully accomplish this but maybe more importantly you must have the confidence. Through these past two weeks we have seen the transformation in how the nurses partner with Alli and Sarah and later with Cathleen and Ariel to improve their practice. Stay tuned for more and enjoy the show...
