A nursing professor has created an innovative ostomy resource to help her fellow nurses! Janice Beitz, a professor at the Rutgers School of Nursing-Camden was part of a research team which created an ostomy algorithm. This algorithm is a step-by-step aid that lets nurses assess ostomy patients and their specific needs. This is exciting news and will certainly help many nurses who serve ostomy patients and will help the patients receive excellent care. As a nurse, how have you helped your fellow nurses?
