This session focuses on an ongoing academic-practice collaboration and joint development of a 3-Phased Radiology Immersion Experience (RIE) for undergraduate nursing students. Presenters will discuss the implementation of Phase I (Group Immersion in Radiology); Phase II (Clinical Experience with Nurse Preceptors in Radiology), and Phase III (Extended Practicum Experience in Radiology). The RIE curriculum, student surveys, and standardized testing will be shared. Lessons learned will be discussed on this ongoing journey aimed at exposing students to radiology nursing, advancing student nurse knowledge of radiology at the point-of-care, and potentially generating interest in radiology as a career choice in the future.

This presentation will discuss what the MI professional needs to know about Gadolinium and MRI. The presentation will start with a review discussing basics of MRI and how it works. Understanding MRI basics will assist the attendee on further understanding how MRI contrasts such as gadolinium work. Also discussed will be paramagnetics which are types of contrast used in MRI: what they are, how they are classified, and the different types seen today. We will discuss the 3 different Gadolinium contrast based groups; and why this is important. Next the presentation will provide the risks and benefits associated with the administration of MRI contrast such as gadolinium.
Discussed will be patient preparation and screening prior to receiving MRI. This portion will focus on what conditions will possibly exclude the patient from receiving MRI contrast.
Finally, will discuss how to keep our patient safe from adverse effects by proper screening and assessment.

We will also share several communication improvement projects from our institution, as well as case studies of both good and poor communication, to understand how they have affected patients' care

I have presented numerous sessions on Nurse Bullying. This has been, and continues to be, a topic discussed during ARIN Conferences. I believe the next logical step is to focus on the conversations that need to occur to decrease and eliminate bullying. While difficult to initiate, once the topic is raised, positive outcomes an occur.

Every nurse can become involved in their professional nursing organization. The willingness to volunteer time and talent benefits the growth of the organization, the nursing profession, and the individual. Professional nursing organizations provide educational opportunities for nurses, comradery, shared experiences and provide leadership opportunities for members.
Nursing leadership is one of the single most important factors in motivating and inspiring nurses. Becoming a leader in your nursing organization offers many opportunities for growth. More importantly, nursing leaders in their professional organization advance the profession, motivate, mentor and inspire members.
