Educating Nurses at the Gimbie Adventist Hospital
/ by Rebecca Carlton

With that in mind, Adventist Health International (AHI) opened a nursing school next to the hospital in 2007 to train nurses in the way we think they should practice. read more...

As they say goodbye...
"More than a hundred clinicians from SRRSH have come to Loma Linda for training before me and now having been here myself gives me a better understanding and appreciation for the culture of caring that we all bring to SRRSH."-- Zhu (May) HongFang, Nurse Manager, Orthopaedic unit at SRRSH,
"I find the library orientation to be very useful and having access to full-text databases during our 2 months training gave an added dimension to our clinical experience here in LLU. I can only imagine how much better my nursing practice would be if I had the same ready access to these resources in my hospital in China. "-- Liang (Maggie) Yuqin, Nurse Manager, SICU, Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine
