Nurses provide autonomous and collaborative care to individuals of all ages, groups, and communities, whether sick or healthy, and in various settings. School nurses work within educational environments, where students are their patients and teachers are part of their healthcare team. Despite often being educated on the same college or university campus, these two professions do not interact. This lack of interaction is problematic, as collaboration is expected in school settings. One…

Background: Intravenous (IV) catheter infiltrations are a preventable complication in the operating room (OR), contributing to delayed treatment, patient discomfort, and increased healthcare costs. A rise in infiltration events at Froedtert Hospital prompted a student-led quality improvement initiative to identify contributing factors and propose strategies to reduce OR infiltration rates. This project aimed to identify procedural and provider-related risk factors for IV…

Background:Healthcare students are entering increasingly complex clinical environments where interprofessional communication is critical to safe, effective, and equitable care. Yet interprofessional education (IPE) often focuses on structured, face-to-face, synchronous exchanges. This presents a disconnect from the realities of practice, where clinicians must navigate dynamic, asynchronous, and informal interactions across systems and settings. Aim:This study aimed to…
