11/24/04

the ana in coordination with the tampa vha patient safety center is now accepting submissions to participate in a pilot project to evaluate a safe patient handling curriculum module. with grant funding from the national institute for occupational safety and health, this curriculum module will provide a select number of nursing schools a way to teach nursing students how to lift, transfer, and reposition patients using mechanical lifts rather than using manual techniques. www.nursingworld.org/handlewithcare/niosh.htm
