There are a number of issues that, if solved, could allow a greater number of nurses to enter the field each year, provide more nurse faculty to expand nursing programs and introduce better pay for nurses.
But the field could also use an experience upgrade. Nurses cite increased stress, burnout and lack of a healthy work-life balance as the reasons they leave the profession. That's where technology comes in. Mobile apps, scheduling technology and blockchain credentialing can improve the nursing experience, and this, in turn, can help reduce turnover, improve retention and perhaps even lessen the impact of the nursing shortage.

Tumor DNA sequencing to identify appropriate targeted therapies is revolutionizing treatment of a variety of cancers, and pancreatic cancer — a notoriously deadly disease — is no exception.
Based on this capability and improved outcomes observed with such an approach, National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines issued last year recommend clinicians consider germline testing for all patients with pancreatic cancer and molecular tumor analysis for patients with metastatic disease.

Interesting Engineering reports the average human body temperature has fallen gradually over time. Using hundreds of thousands of reported temperatures from the last 150 years, scientists made a linear plot that shows our temperature has dropped 1/20th of a degree Fahrenheit per decade. The 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit standard was established in 1851, and scientists from Stanford are saying now that it’s out of date and inaccurate for people in 2020.

Yet, taking a fresh overview of your ventilation system, making easy and effective changes, and sharpening your staff's germ control awareness can pay big dividends. This piece will incorporate the latest research to inform you of the latest technology and strategies.

A deadly fungal pathogen developed the ability to resist all existing antifungal drugs on three separate occasions in the United States, according to a new report.
The fungus, Candida auris, was already classified as an "urgent threat" by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the emergence of so-called "pan-resistant" strains raises additional concern, according to the report's authors, who are infectious disease specialists at the CDC and the New York State Department of Health. They published their findings Jan. 9 in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
