Hello blogger world!
My name is Emily Johnson, and I am a third semester nursing student in the UAB Honors in Nursing program. In this program, we {each student} dedicate three semesters to developing and implementing a service learning project. I chose to partner with March of Dimes, a national, non-profit organization dedicated to bringing healthier babies into the world {for more info on March of Dimes, visit there website @ http://www.marchofdimes.com/).
One major component of March of Dimes' work is their NICU Family Support Program. This program provides educational and emotional support to the moms, dads, and siblings of the premies and sick babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Units throughout the United States. My service learning project involves partnering with the staff of the family support program to increase the use of kangaroo care in UAB Hospital's Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I look forward to keeping the World Wide Web up to date on my project, and hope that my readers will bear with me as I {slowly} learn the ropes of blogging.
I love you blog! I'm really excited to read about the hands on aspect of your service learning project. I can't wait to learn more about KC. It's such an amazing technique.
