APRNs with experience inserting IUDs employed PRN by Health Department

Carole Jakeway, Chief Nurse of the Department of Public Health, has asked for CAPRN's assistance with implementation of a short term, grant-funded family planning project which runs through December 2015. The goal of the project is to increase availability and utilization of Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) for adolescents and women seen in public health family planning clinics.  They are trying to get most of the clinics scheduled before the end of November.  Part of the funding is set aside to buy the products so they'll be available at low cost, or free.  The remaining funding is to employ temporary hourly APRNs who can insert the devices in health departments  without adequate APRN staff.  Only APRN's who are trained and qualified to perform contraceptive implants and IUD insertions may apply.  If you fall in that category, please see the attached flier for contact information.  If you do help participate, please let us know so our Chapter can recognize you!

Thanks for helping Georgia women,

Julie Hannah, FNP-C
