Project Abstract

The Nurse-Friendly Program for Small/Rural Hospitals is a grant initiative to enhance patient care and retention of nurses in small and rural Texas hospitals.

Our project goal is to assist client hospitals in incorporating all 12 Nurse-Friendly Hospital criteria into their policies and procedures and in preparing their application for designation as a “Nurse-FriendlyÔ Hospital” by the Texas Nurses Association.

We estimate that this program will impact 1,400 registered nurses and their 97,500 patients.
