Five-year project to examine parent presence and effects on infants

The National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NIH/NICHD) has awarded a five-year, $3.2 million grant to two faculty researchers from The Ohio State University College of Nursing’s Martha S. Pitzer Center for Women, Children and Youth to study the effect of parent presence and caregiving for infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU).

The new LPN to BSN program at the College of Nursing was designed for LPNs to obtain their BSN. Three current students, James Williams, Toni Hall and Colleen M. Barrett, shared with us about their experiences in the program.
