Diana has been working in the field of hyperbaric medicine since 2007 and has been the charge nurse since 2008 providing critical care nursing coverage in a multiplace chamber at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, WA. This is a level 1 UHMS accredited, with distinction, medicine hyperbaric center that delivers 24/7 emergency care that covers most of the state of Washington.

Diana obtained her CHRN in 2008 and she is currently pursuing her Masters in Nursing at the University of Washington; due to graduate in 2013.

This year Diana's abstract was accepted for oral presentation at the UHMS annual scientific meeting. Entitled Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Ingestion, the abstract has an objective of looking 25 years of data on the frequencies and types of toxic co-ingestions that may accompany CO inhalation. In looking at this analysis, we can better appreciate the additional clinical issues that we need to be prepared to address in these patients.

The Associates Recognition Scholarship was established 2006. We have had the opportunity to award this unique prize to four other qualified Associates. This award for hyperbaric nurses and technicians is intended to help offset the expenses associated with the attendance at the ASM so to ensure we have good participation in high quality abstract submission for our Associates Breakout Session. Thanks to the UHMS we are able to fund $2,000.00 to be awarded for this scholarship. We hope this will encourage more Associates to participate in our meeting and gain the professional experience of presenting their own scientific abstract.

On behalf of the UHMS Associates Council, please join us in Congratulating Diana Bodwin as this years Associate Recognition Scholarship recipient!
