Abstract
Maternal substance abuse during pregnancy has dramatically increased in prevalence in the United States. Consequently, neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is now a leading cause of developmental and medical problems in newborns (Thigpen and Melton, 2014). Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) is an innovative approach to the treatment of NAS, which hospitals are implementing to improve outcomes for women and infants with perinatal opioid exposure (Whalen et al., 2018). This educational innovation project incorporates current, evidence-based practice (EBP) guidelines into the associate degree nursing (ADN) program curriculum at a community college to better prepare nurses to provide safe, therapeutic nursing care to infants and their families.
