In order to be taken seriously, nurses will often downplay the traditionally “feminine” aspects of their duties. Bedside manner, compassion, nurturing, and intuition are not prioritized in the clinical setting. Hospitals might advertise their services with such terms, but a line is clearly drawn between the professionally distant levelheadedness of doctoring and the warm fuzziness of nursing.
That said, the best nurses — and the best doctors — know better.

In celebration of National Nurses Week and the one-year anniversary of the release of The Woodhull Study Revisited, Dean Pamela Jeffries and the George Washington University School of Nursing's Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement invite you to a FREE webinar led by Senior Policy Service Professor Diana Mason.
Friday, May 10 | Noon
"4 million nurses. 4 million voices. It's time to be heard."
In 1997, the Woodhull Study found that nurses were used as sources in only four percent of health news stories four percent of the time in leading public print media of the day. A replication of this study 20 years later found that nothing has changed. A study of health journalists, released on Nurses Week 2018, underscores why nurses' voices are grossly underrepresented in health news. This webinar presents the results of The Woodhull Study Revisited and discusses ways for nurses to be proactive in getting their voices into the public sphere through health news.
You will learn:
- The specific reasons why journalists don't often use nurses as sources.
- Why the absence of nurses' voices in health news matters to the public and the profession
- Strategies that nurses, nursing organizations, nursing journals and others can use to increase nurses' representation in health news.

The military college graduated its first class of nursing students last week during commencement ceremonies. In the nursing tradition, the group of 21 graduates were pinned in a ceremony before heading out to serve different hospitals and communities. The South Carolina Board of Nursing first approved the new program in the fall of 2016. The non-cadet evening undergraduate students began classes in the Summer of 2017. They earned their general education requirements elsewhere and then completed their nursing degree at The Citadel. The first class of cadet nursing students began a traditional four-year study in the fall of 2017.

According to the science-based sleep education and advocacy group, the National Sleep Foundation, "if you tend to suffer a sleepiness attack in the mid-afternoon, it's not a fluke. Many people experience a noticeable dip in their alertness, energy level, and ability to concentrate in the afternoon." It stems from a dip in core body temperature, according to NSF. "That naturally happens between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.," the group says. "It's a dip that triggers the release of a snooze-inducing hormone called melatonin." Of course, if your mid-shift hits at 9 p.m. or 3 a.m., you're not working against circadian rhythms to restore your pep. But you could still be susceptible to any of the other reasons the NSF provides for a mid-shift slump. So how can you snap out of it?

An end to the AIDS epidemic could be in sight after a landmark study found men whose HIV infection was fully suppressed by antiretroviral drugs had no chance of infecting their partner.
The success of the medicine means that if everyone with HIV were fully treated, there would be no further infections.

There have been 704 cases of measles reported by 22 states so far in 2019 — the greatest number of measles cases in the United States since 1994, the CDC reported on April 29.
As National Infant Immunization Week began, the CDC held a news conference to discuss the latest case count — a record number since the disease was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000 — and the importance of on-time vaccination for protection and prevention against measles.

 About 70 percent of adults dying prematurely of natural causes have not sought medical help within the previous 30 days, according to the results of a new study published in the journal PLOS One. Researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences teamed up to analyze autopsy reports and death investigation records of 1,282 people between the ages of 25 and 59 who died in Harris County in 2013.

There's more to building a strong nursing workforce than just filling open positions, and even in organizations with top-notch nurse recruitment programs, research has found there's no guarantee that nurses will stay put. According to the recruitment firm NSI Nursing Solutions, Inc., the average national turnover rate for bedside RNs was 16.8 percent in 2017. Additionally, Press Ganey's recent analysis of 250,000 RNs who participated in the 2017 National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators RN Survey found close to 21 percent of nurses planned to leave their current jobs within one year, including those retiring. When asked about their job plans over the next three years, 26 percent said they will pursue other options, ranging from new positions in an organization to retirement.

More than 137 million U.S. adults, about 56 percdent, have suffered because of costs tied to medical care, according to a study released by the American Cancer Society.
Adults aged 18 to 64 suffered more than seniors, according to National Health Interview Survey data collected from 2015 to 2017. Compared with Americans 65 or older, younger adults reported higher rates of material, psychological and behavioral medical financial hardship. The study, which appears in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, evaluated concerns including the affordability of care, potentially delaying care until it could be paid for and related stress factors.

Investigators identified dozens of “medical tourists” from 17 states who contracted a rare and highly resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa while undergoing bariatric surgery in Tijuana, Mexico.
Of the 30 patients identified, almost half were hospitalized upon their return to the United States, although no secondary transmission at any U.S. hospitals has been reported, according to Ian Kracalik, PhD, MPH, an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer in the CDC’s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion.

When screening for autism spectrum disorder, a new study suggests that children can be reliably diagnosed with autism at an age earlier than what is currently recommended.
Current recommendations are for children to be screened specifically for autism spectrum disorder during regular doctor visits at 18 and 24 months old.
Yet new data suggest that autism detection and diagnosis can start as young as 14 months old with high accuracy, which could lead to children with autism having the option to start therapies early, according to the study published in the medical journal JAMA Pediatrics.

What if there was a blood test that could accurately predict whether a person will have heart disease or a stroke?
New research suggests that such a test may already exist. By detecting the blood levels of specific proteins that heart muscles release when they are injured, scientists may be able to predict a person's risk of eventually developing CVD.
Dr. Christie Ballantyne, who is the cardiology chief at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, and his team, detail this idea in a new study that appears in the AHA journal Circulation.
