American Nurse Today Wins Prestigious ASHPE Editorial Award
Doylestown, PA, May 16, 2008 --(PR.com)-- American Nurse Today, the official journal of the American Nurses Association (ANA), has received the 2008 Silver Award for Best How-To Article in a healthcare publication from the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors (ASHPE). The award was for the continuing education (CE) article in the July, 2007 issue, “Keeping cardiac arrest patients alive with therapeutic hypothermia.”
ASHPE recognizes outstanding editorial excellence and achievement in healthcare publications. The annual competition provides an opportunity for editors to measure their efforts and publications against the best the healthcare sector has to offer.
The CE article discusses the use of hypothermia to improve survival rates of patients who experience cardiac arrest. Although recommended by the American Heart Association, adoption of hypothermia has been slow. This award-winning CE article gives nurses what they need to know to help patients get the full benefit from hypothermia after cardiac arrest. The authors are: Kirsten Pyle, RN, CCRN; Ginger Pierson, MSN, RN, CCRN,CNS; Deborah Lepman, BS, RN, MPH, CEN; and Molly Hewett, MS, BSN, RN, CCRN, all from Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, Newport Beach, California.
