Daniel Luthi ('13) was a graduate from Bethel's undergraduate nursing program. He is now working in Illinois on a pediatric intermediate/PICU floor and is doing great things! He was part of group that was recently published. Their study was focused on quality improvement surrounding pain mitigation for children who needed peripheral IVs placed. His group educated the nursing staff of the available analgesics and techniques for various age groups, outlined a pathway for staff to follow when encountering a patient with difficult IV access, and training select nurses on ultrasound-guided IV insertion. They also implemented system level changes including documentation and order sets. Their study led to a significant increase in the use of topical anesthetics and anxiolytics, resulting in children being reportedly more comfortable during their IV placement. This is meaningful work!

We love hearing from our graduates, they make such a difference in their communities. Thank you for your hard work and contributions to the profession, Daniel!
