NICHE LISTSERV
The LISTSERV, open to all personnel identified by NICHE hospitals, provides daily contact with the NICHE hospitals nationwide and with the NICHE Coordinating Center at the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing for questions or problems. LISTSERV members share resources and experiences. The LISTSERV draws a national base, and allows nurses from around the country to discuss practice problems and solutions on line. The LISTSERV typically addresses issues that promote exchange of geriatric nursing practice protocols and procedures and strategies to address geriatric syndromes. Hospitals are invited to join the LISTSERV after they have attended the NICHE Leadership Conference.
