The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York University College of Nursing, in collaboration with the Coalition for Geriatric Nursing Organizations and the Pioneer Network, has published an issue paper, Nurses’ Involvement in Nursing Home Culture Change: Overcoming Barriers, Advancing Opportunities.
The paper, addressed to nursing homes and professional RNs practicing in nursing homes, discusses the move toward culture change—a movement away from institution-driven models of care toward more consumer-driven models that embrace flexibility and patient self-determination.
The issue paper grew out of an October 2008 meeting of an interdisciplinary expert panel of leaders in culture change and in gerontological nursing. The paper summarizes the panel discussion and frames the competencies that need to be developed for nurses involved in culture change and resident-directed care.
Recommendations are provided for nursing homes regarding practicing nurses and for academic programs preparing professional nurses.

I am looking for someone to review my book on cancer and LTC. As a self-published author I cannot get any media attention. Do you have any suggestions for me?
This is my blog:

But the book is available here: from GSPH.
