What is MT CAHN<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

MT CAHN is the official state action coalition of the\u00a0Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action;<\/a>\u00a0it was formed by\u00a0state coalition co-leads Casey Blumenthal, Vice President, MHA\u2026An Association of Montana Health Care Providers\u00a0and Cynthia Gustafson, Executive Director of the Montana Board of Nursing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Montana Center to Advance Health through Nursing (MT CAHN) was formed in response to the October 2010 Institute of Medicine report,\u00a0The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The IOM\u00a0report\u2019s recommendations are being brought to life through\u00a0the work of the\u00a0Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0AARP Center to Champion Nursing\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0Initiative on the Future of Nursing, which formed the current\u00a0Future of Nursing:\u00a0 Campaign for Action<\/a>.\u00a0 MT CAHN was named an official state Action Coalition for this initiative\u00a0in September, 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Montana Action Coalition (AC) has created both mentoring and precepting programs. The mentoring program has been taught in workshops across the state; the precepting program is composed of evidence-based, online modules with interactive blogs for participants to share ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the work done through our Academic Progression in Nursing grant, the AC helped facilitate Montana\u2019s Department of Labor and Industry to secure a $15 million TAACCCT grant from the US Department of Labor to improve the number of healthcare workforce occupation programs and placements. This work includes creating more seamless pathways for RNs from the Community College system to advance to their BSNs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The AC presents an annual nursing conference to bring national speakers in to present to a growing gathering of nurse educators and practice partners; the first of its kind in the state to do so. This has become a very popular event that has turned into a sustainable revenue stream to help support our work.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
