Abstract

After a nursing research study identified readmission risks/causes following kidney transplant, an academic-practice partnership facilitated the implementation of a nurse-led intervention study employing educational materials and teaching methods congruent with linguistic preference and educational level. Findings support engaging registered nurses in efforts to improve outcomes in a vulnerable population.
