The coming retirement of baby boomer nurses will include the majority of current nurse managers and lead to a significant knowledge and skills gap. Healthcare administrators and nursing leaders will look to younger nurses to fill this void — generation X (born roughly from 1965–1980), and millennials (roughly 1981–2000).

“The oncology nurse plays a critical role in the management of patients on a clinical trial,” Goodman said in a recent interview with Oncology Nursing News.

Public health officials say rural counties across the Midwest and West are becoming the new syphilis battleground. While syphilis is still concentrated in cities such as San Francisco, Atlanta and Las Vegas, its continued spread into places like Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma creates a new set of challenges. Compared with urban hubs, rural populations tend to have less access to public health resources, less experience with syphilis and less willingness to address it because of socially conservative views toward homosexuality and nonmarital sex.

U.S. scientists say they used HIV to make a gene therapy that cured eight infants of severe combined immunodeficiency, or "bubble boy" disease.
Results of the research, developed at a Tennessee hospital, were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The babies, born with little to no immune protection, now have fully functional immune systems.
Untreated babies with this disorder have to live in completely sterile conditions and tend to die as infants.
The gene therapy involved collecting the babies' bone marrow and correcting the genetic defect in their DNA soon after their birth.

 You know that patient satisfaction is crucial. Because of this, you no doubt check all the standard boxes to keep people happy — you're flexible with appointment times, try not to make patients wait too long, and instruct your staff to be courteous. Cutting-edge research suggests that these steps may not be enough. Your patients can feel a lot more reassured, supported and comfortable if you make the effort to employ some unexpected — but incredibly effective — steps to create a more helpful, inclusive practice environment.

Blood pressure measured at the wrist is commonly higher than pressure measured at the upper arm, which has implications for the accuracy of devices that measure blood pressure, researchers report.
Current hypertension guidelines are based on blood pressure measured with a brachial cuff, the kind typically used in doctor's offices, and applied on the upper arm. But many devices used by patients at home, including the increasingly available wearable monitors, measure blood pressure at the wrist and other locations.

A study published last month in Health Affairs examined claims data from a large national insurer for 316,244 women whose employers switched insurance coverage from low-deductible health plans (i.e., deductibles of $500 or less) to high-deductible health plans (i.e., deductibles of $1,000 or more) between 2004 and 2014. In particular, the researchers looked at the relative effects of such plans on women who have low incomes versus those with higher incomes. Women with low incomes who had high-deductible insurance plans waited an average of 1.6 months longer for diagnostic breast imaging, 2.7 months for first biopsy, 6.6 months for first early-stage breast cancer diagnosis and 8.7 months for first chemotherapy, compared with low-income women with low-deductible plans.

The prevalence of sleep myths could pose a serious risk to one's health, scientists have warned.
We all know someone who, contrary to advice from health professionals, believes that they can get by on five hours' sleep a night.
While they may be under the assumption that lack of sleep is no big deal, perpetuating this notion could lead to long-term health issues.
Researchers from the New York University School of Medicine have carried out an investigation to identify the top 20 most widespread beliefs regarding sleep.

Employees are constantly looking for ways to keep employees healthy, which in turn leads to workers putting in more hours at work. However, one study says those programs might not be delivering the overall desired effect.
While workplace wellness programs led to some healthier behaviors, they didn't lower blood pressure, body mass index and cholesterol, according to a study published in JAMA.
