dc.description.abstract<p>This pilot project sought to fill the gap in practice that included a lack of early recognition, assessment skills and practice guidelines for the care of stroke patients, improving patient care and hand off communication.&nbsp; A team was formed at an 11-unit Veterans Health Administration facility.&nbsp; The team comprised various nursing disciplines whom were invited to discuss the current state of veteran care, and current evidence based practices of stroke recognition and care.&nbsp; Pre- and post- intervention tests were administered and data was collected to measure the assessment, recognition, and comfort level of registered nurses (RNs).&nbsp; Data revealed nine out of ten RNs showed an improvement in recognition and assessment skills, as well as comfort level when using the assessment tool.&nbsp; The project implies certification can positively affect the comfort level and assessment skills of nurses.&nbsp; The recommendation of the project leader is to expand the intervention to a wider discipline of nurses for improved care of veterans.</p>en
