Congratulations to 2015 UMHS/UMSN Poster Day Winners and Participants
The annual University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) Nursing Poster Day showcases the research and collaborations of UMHS and U-M School of Nursing (UMSN) faculty, staff and students.
The 25 posters, which were on display in the Towsley Center lobby in late September, highlight the expanding role of nursing in patient care delivery and hospital system operations. Some of the topics included chronic pain, communication between team members, and compassion fatigue.
