And, they did it again!! Two days in a row this amazing team of public health nursing students shined in the community providing health education, information, resources and availability for first aid. This time at the PICK'M UP Su***de Prevention Awareness 5K--a collaboration between Pine, Isanti, Chisago, Kanabec and Mille Lacs Counties to raise awareness of resources and support available to prevent su***de and to support friends and family members who have been affected by su***de.
Thank you Lindsey, Rachelle, Evangeline, and Ellie and Dr. Debbie Solomon for your commitment to your studies, public health nursing, Bethel, a hurting world, and Jesus. You represented well!!

Despite the wind, rain, and chilly temps, four amazing Bethel nursing students (Lydia, Rachelle, Evangeline, and Ellie) braved the weather to share health promotion information at the Cambridge Community Appreciation Night. Their dedication did not go unnoticed! Well done ladies.

Daniel Luthi ('13) was a graduate from Bethel's undergraduate nursing program. He is now working in Illinois on a pediatric intermediate/PICU floor and is doing great things! He was part of group that was recently published. Their study was focused on quality improvement surrounding pain mitigation for children who needed peripheral IVs placed. His group educated the nursing staff of the available analgesics and techniques for various age groups, outlined a pathway for staff to follow when encountering a patient with difficult IV access, and training select nurses on ultrasound-guided IV insertion. They also implemented system level changes including documentation and order sets. Their study led to a significant increase in the use of topical anesthetics and anxiolytics, resulting in children being reportedly more comfortable during their IV placement. This is meaningful work!

We love hearing from our graduates, they make such a difference in their communities. Thank you for your hard work and contributions to the profession, Daniel!
