 Last week ANA\C Lobbyist extraordinaire Roxanne Gould and Members Annie Tat and Jennifer DeLugach attended the CA Women Lead legislative Reception, where they honored 55 fierce and fearless women serving as Chief of Staff in the California State Legislature. These incredible leaders are not only breaking ground for women in the workplace, they are 24/7 stewards of the legislation that drives progress forward in the Golden State.
Our big thanks to Roxanne for going above-and-beyond her lobbyist duties, and big thanks also to Annie and Jennifer proudly representing nurses and ANA\C.
My name is Kalayvanie Naidoo and I am a student at the University of Phoenix working on a PhD nursing degree. I am conducting data collection for my research study, entitled A Causal-Comparative Study of Nursing Leadership in Professional Nurses’ Associations (PNAs). The purpose of this research study is to compare and measure the leadership characteristics of leaders and non-leaders in professional nurses’ associations (PNAs). I believe the benefit of your participation will develop new knowledge on the leadership characteristics of non-leaders and expand upon the existing knowledge of leaders.
This research study requires you to complete the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), which will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes, and a 3-minute demographic survey. The surveys are programmed into a SurveyMonkey for easy access and flow. You are required to click on the weblink below to access the informed consent and surveys. You may accept or not accept the informed consent. If you do not accept the informed consent you will be exited away from the study. You must accept informed consent to participate in the proposed study. If you accept the informed consent, then you will proceed onto the study surveys. Your personal identifiers will not be shared with the researcher or any parts of the study to maintain your anonymity. Participation is voluntary and there will be no penalty or loss of benefits for not participating in the study.

It's been one year since the California Future Health Workforce Commission released its 2019 report, with 27 detailed recommendations for building the health workforce California needs. We hope you'll save the date on April 17 to celebrate the progress of the Commission's ideas—and to help identify the next steps the state must take to ensure every community has the right health workers, with the right skills, in the right places.

In its Fiscal Year 2021 budget, released Feb. 10, the Trump administration proposes steep cuts to and the elimination of essential nursing programs under the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Education.
Under the new budget, the majority of Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Programs would be eliminated, with the exception of the Nurse Corps program, which would receive $83.135 million. Additionally, the National Institutes of Health would face a nearly $3 billion proposed cut. This includes cutting the National Institute of Nursing Research's budget down to $156.804 million in FY 2021. These reduced funding levels are about a nine percent overall cut to HHS.

As an outbreak of a novel coronavirus has swept through Hubei province, China, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been preparing for its worst case scenario — a widespread outbreak of illnesses in the United States.
"Right now we're in an aggressive containment mode," CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta in an interview on Feb. 13.
"We don't know a lot about this virus," he said. "This virus is probably with us beyond this season, beyond this year, and I think eventually the virus will find a foothold and we will get community-based transmission."

 As a physician or administrator, it's crucial that you keep patient transactions and data easily shareable and totally secure. Blockchain technology may be just the right way for your organization to do it. In a blockchain system, data is linked in a segmented system that makes for ease of sharing, eliminates the risk of inaccurate data being kept in a patient ledger, and automatically distributes to a set network of recipients. Blockchain is currently being used most in healthcare payment applications. However, as it matures further, it is being adapted for virtually every healthcare need.

If you are sometimes less than careful with your prescription medications and have young kids at home, a new study shows how easily tragedies can occur.
Researchers found that young children getting into medicines leads to about 400,000 poison center calls and 50,000 emergency department visits in the United States each year.
In more than half of these cases, medications have been removed from child-resistant containers by an adult, according to the analysis of calls to five poison control centers.

A new group of antibiotics with a unique approach to attacking bacteria has been discovered, making it a promising clinical candidate in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
The newly-found corbomycin and the lesser-known complestatin have a never-before-seen way to kill bacteria, which is achieved by blocking the function of the bacterial cell wall. The discovery comes from a family of antibiotics called glycopeptides that are produced by soil bacteria.
