Nancy Falchuk Scholarship Recognizes Innovations in Nursing at Hadassah Medical Center
4-Feb-2010
The 2009 Nancy Falchuk Nursing Scholarship recognized four nurses for their leadership roles in patient education and wound treatment.
Ula Waslin of Hadassah Hospital-Mount Scopus was honored with the scholarship for initiating a project that educates patients prior to back surgery.
Judith Eisenberg and Rachel Ben-Simhon from Hadassah Hospital-Ein Kerem and Neomi Nalbandian from Hadassah-Mount Scopus, all specialists in wound treatment, developed a specific protocol for treatment, organized a targeted course for registered nurses, and publicized them in both hospitals to standardize treatment and prevent problems in wound care.
The nursing scholarship was created in 2004 with contributions from Hadassah International units around the world as a tribute to current Hadassah President Nancy Falchuk when she completed her term as President of Hadassah International. It enables outstanding nurses to pursue advanced study, conduct research or give a presentation at an international conference.
