ITNS Transplant IQ Series
People who pre-ordered the ITNS Transplant IQ Series are now enjoying the convenience and educational benefits of the Series in their own workplace, no travel necessary. The ITNS Transplant IQ Series was developed to allow the CTCRC to become more accessible to the highest number of nurses in the least costly manner. While individuals can purchase the DVDs as a set or by specific topic, hospitals and transplant centers will find the ITNS Transplant IQ Series to be a tremendous resource for training large numbers of nurses at a low rate per person. Individual viewers will receive CEU and CEPTC credits by taking the IQ post-test included in the supplemental materials with each DVD and paying a small fee.
The Transplant IQ Series is made possible through a grant from Astellas Pharma US. Visit Transplant IQ Series for more information, to view a video demo or to order your IQ Series online.
NKF Providing Free Listserv to Living Donor Advocates
Living Donor Advocates can now join a listserv being provided just for them. The vision is to allow Living Donor Advocates a safe place to share experiences, practices, and ideas with peers and colleagues. The National Kidney Foundation is providing the listserv free to living donor advocates.
To join, a Living Donor Advocate should send the following information: Name, credentials, degree, title, hospital affiliation and full contact information and a brief description of their duties to Catherine Paykin, MSSW Transplant Services Director, via email: cathyp@kidney.org at the National Kidney Foundation. They will receive a reply with listserv name and information to get started.
