Chicago (Oct. 7, 2010) Barbara J. Braden, Ph.D, R.N., F.A.A.N., creator of the world-renowned Braden Scale, will give two guest lectures at Saint Xavier University as part of SXU's School of Nursing's ongoing 75th Anniversary Celebration on Fri., Oct. 15 at the University's Chicago campus, 3700 W. 103rd St.
Braden will deliver a lecture, "Using Research to Build Evidence and Evidence to Build Practice: The Braden Scale Example," from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the Warde Academic Center's Butler Reception Room.
