Becker's Hospital Review
Nurses face a multitude of stressors and challenges every day, from a sometimes-erratic work environment to staffing shortages and negative patient outcomes. To address these issues and keep nurses happy and engaged, health systems and hospital leaders must realize the value of supporting resilience among not only their nursing teams but also across their institutions.

Concerns about a shortage of registered nurses in California have been rising, with one report claiming that California will need nearly 200,000 more nurses by 2030. Other studies show that there will be no statewide shortages, but that some regions face impending shortages and others may have surpluses. Over the past six years, surveys have found that many newly graduated nurses are challenged to find jobs.
Join us for a webinar on the latest data on RN supply, demand, and shortages in California. We will describe the latest findings from the UCSF survey of nurse employers, the Hospital Association of Southern California’s hospital vacancy and turnover survey, HealthImpact’s Survey of New Graduate RNs, and other recently released data.
Please contact Lena Libatique at lena.libatique@ucsf.edu to receive notification when registration opens.

According to WHO, of the 43.5 million health workers in the world, it is estimated that 20.7 million are nurses and midwives, yet 50% of WHO member states report less than three nursing and midwifery personnel per 1000 state individuals (and about 25% report to have less than 1 per 1000).
Seeing the importance of the demand for nursing and healthcare in education, research and profession, Research International aims to build a platform by organizing the “World Congress on Nursing and Healthcare," which is slated for Nov. 20-21, 2019, in Paris, France.
We are privileged to invite you to this prestigious event.

Nurses interact with patients day in and day out.
While most nurses love working with others, some wish they could tell their patients more about what it's really like caring for them. For instance, nurses told Business Insider that they wish they could tell patients to stop treating the hospital like a hotel and to stop demanding their immediate attention at all times.

 About 5.7 million adults in the United States have heart failure. One in nine deaths in 2009 included HF as contributing cause, and about half of those who develop HF die within five years of diagnosis. HF is associated with frequent hospital admissions, reduced quality of life, significant morbidity, and increased mortality. Cognitive impairment is a common adverse consequence of HF and is characterized by deficits in one or more cognition domains, including attention, memory, executive function, and psychomotor speed.

Trials, which took place in Burkina Faso, showed mosquito populations collapsed by 99 percent within 45 days.
The researchers say their aim is not to make the insects extinct but to help stop the spread of malaria.

The researchers report the unusual lymphocyte — formally known as a dual expressor, or DE, cell — in a new paper published in the journal Cell.

That's one of the takeaways from two new studies by University of California, Irvine scientists working in collaboration with the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in Barcelona, Spain.
