New York, NY (PRWEB) January 26, 2012

As part of an intensive focus on teaching care of older adults, the NLN will recognize schools of nursing that demonstrate exceptional instruction and innovation in this key area of nursing education. The inaugural award for Excellence in Geriatric Education is the first step in a multi-year competitive awards program; a dozen schools of nursing will be selected for this prestigious honor between 2012 and 2015.

The Excellence in Geriatric Education Awards program is a component of the Hearst Foundation’s $ 400,000 grant to the NLN ? renewable for three years, up to $ 1.2 million ? to expand Advancing Care Excellence for Seniors (ACES). This web-based program was developed with Community College of Philadelphia with the support of the John A. Hartford Foundation, Independence Foundation of Philadelphia, and Laerdal Medical. Building on the work already completed, new Hearst-funded state workshops will provide guidance for teaching geriatrics using ACES Essential Nursing Actions as a guide.

Only schools of nursing that participate in one of these workshops are eligible to apply for the award. Criteria also include demonstrated use of ACES resources to provide students with exceptional instruction in geriatrics nursing. Applications, which are due at the NLN by May 1, will be judged by a national review committee of experts in geriatric education. Awards will be presented at the NLN’s 2012 Education Summit in Anaheim, California in September. The winning schools will present its innovative approaches to teaching geriatrics at the ACES pre-Summit workshop.

Paul “Dino” Dinovitz, executive director of the Hearst Foundations, commented: “This award will recognize the outstanding efforts of nurse faculty in integrating the tools and curriculum demonstrated at the ACES workshops into the classroom setting. The Hearst Foundations staff and board are consistently impressed by the diligence and commitment of nurse faculty in improving the student experience, and we look forward to learning and sharing how they are applying ACES after having attended the workshops.”

ACES/Integrating Geriatrics into Nursing Education entails webinars and workshops in at least 20 states. Over the next three years at least 2,200 nurse educators from about 300 undergraduate RN and PN programs will benefit from the Hearst Foundations-funded ACES programs and resources accessible online at http://www.nln.org/ACES.

“The NLN applauds the Hearst Foundations for its far-sighted investment in nursing education, raising the standards of care for a growing vulnerable population,” said NLN CEO Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN. “The time is right to recognize schools of nursing whose creative approaches to teaching geriatrics nursing makes them models for other programs.”

Application materials are available at http://www.nln.org/ACES/hearst_app.htm

Editors and reporters: For interview opportunities, please contact NLN chief communications officer, Karen R. Klestzick at 212-812-0376 or kklestzick(at)nln(dot)org.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

Preferred Pain Center understands the rampant effects of back pain. According to the CDC, the most common cause for lost work in America is due to low back pain, and a recent study from the Institute of Medicine showed that over one in three Americans is dealing with chronic pain. Scottsdale pain management doctors and even the best Scottsdale chiropractor struggle with the best methods for pain relief in patients.

Now Preferred Pain Center, the most comprehensive pain management Phoenix Arizona clinic, has a revolutionary treatment for back pain which helps patients often avoid surgery. This new treatment is called spinal decompression therapy.

As an introductory offer for new patients, this Arizona pain management clinic is now offering the first three sessions of spinal decompression therapy for free. That represents a $ 225 dollar savings.

?We wanted to allow people in pain to have an avenue for getting their pain management treatment started in a cost effective manner, because what we truly want is to help patients get back to working, playing with their kids, and enjoying life. Allowing three free sessions allows patients to see if the treatment is going to work well, and kick the tires a bit so to speak,? said David Greene, CEO of the Center.

Spinal decompression therapy is a nonoperative treatment that is excellent for many types of back pain, neck pain, along with arm and leg pain issues. The therapy is FDA cleared, extremely safe, and often effective. The overall cost of spinal decompression therapy is less than 5% of spine surgery.

The therapy involves an intermittent traction that helps fool the musculature around the spine into not going into spasm. The disc spaces open off with a negative pressure pulling in nutrients and oxygen with the increased blood flow created. This may help significantly with back pain due to spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, facet arthritis, and other issues such as failed back surgery.

The new paradigm for pain management in the United States involves comprehensive treatment. Incorporating spinal decompression therapy and having an award-winning chiropractor Phoenix and the best pain management doctors in Arizona incorporates this new treatment model.

To make your appointment and received your 3 free sessions call today at 602-507-6550.

Parks, AR (PRWEB) January 23, 2012

On February 11, 2012, McDonald?s of Central Arkansas will present the ninth annual Chocolate Fantasy Ball, with proceeds benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas. Top breeder of English Cream Golden Retrievers, Wisteria Goldens of Parks, AR, has donated a female puppy with all the accessories to the charity.

The puppy, which is to be auctioned during the event, comes with everything a dog needs for a happy, healthy start in life. Wisteria Goldens plans to send her to her new home with a leash and collar, bowls, toys, a crate, and even a basket of Life?s Abundance premium dog food and pet care products.

?We?ve been asked to donate puppies for many worthy causes over the years, but we?ve always declined. We feel strongly that a dog is a lifetime commitment, and not something to be given away to a random stranger,? says Debbie Franklin, owner of Wisteria Goldens. ?But with personal friends ? and owners of three of our pups ? on the board of directors (Clark & Janelle Mason and Rob Clancy) of the charity, we feel confident the puppy we donate will find a loving, forever home.?

?Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas does such important work for sick children and their families. We really wanted to do something to help, and we couldn?t think of a better fit than a puppy,? said Franklin, adding, ?We?re just thrilled to be able to participate in such an important fundraising event.?

Ronald McDonald House Charities? of Arkansas enhances the lives of children and their families by creating and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children. These programs include the Ronald McDonald House? and the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile?.
