Last week, the ANA\C Executive Director and ANA\C Lobbyist were invited to attend a briefing hosted by PoliticoPro on a hot morning of June 12, 2019 in the Citizen Hotel in Sacramento. The briefing was led by Angela Hart, the healthcare, policy & politics reporter at PoliticoCalifornia Pro - formerly of the Sacramento Bee - as she briefed the room on the latest political/healthcare developments in the CA State Legislature. She mentioned her published interview with the new Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Ghaly and how she was struck by the importance of mental health in all healthcare debates.

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.

On June 12, Maine became the ninth state and tenth jurisdiction* to authorize medical aid in dying. Maine follows New Jersey in passing and signing a bill that allows terminally ill mentally capable patients with six months or less to live the compassionate option of aid in dying medication this year. Maine will be the 3rdstate this year to have a law go into effect (Hawaii’s law went into effect 1/1/19 and New Jersey’s will go into effect 8/1/19). New York is following close on Maine’s footsteps and may pass this year as well.
*Jurisdictions that have authorized medical aid in dying include: OR, VT, WA, CA, CO, MT, HI, D.C. and N.J.
 One in four nurses has experienced violence in the workplace at some point in their career – an experience that nobody should ever have to go through.
An ANA-backed bill before Congress will make sure that the healthcare and social service industry protects nurses from violence in the workplace, and we’re bringing more than 400 nurse-advocates to Capitol Hill next week for ANA’s annual Hill Day to make sure our support for this bill is heard loud and clear.
Nearly 18,000 nurses and nurse advocates like you have pledged to #EndNurseAbuse and support policies that end violence in the workplace – will you sign the pledge too, so we can bring your support to Congress next week?
Most excitingly of all, the bill was cleared by a key committee just this week – with the next step being a full vote on the House floor. Nurses can’t wait: we need to keep up the pressure and use this momentum to make sure that vote is scheduled as soon as possible.
Please, sign the pledge to #EndNurseAbuse today and make sure your call to protect nurses from violence in the workplace is delivered to Congress next week. https://www.nursingworld.org/pledge#enaaction
Thanks for everything you do, and stay tuned for additional ways to get involved this #ANAHillDay.

Sessions include:

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.

History provides an enhanced understanding of the factors that inform social policy. In the wider arena of public health and its influence on social change, the political and healing import of nursing cannot be ignored. In an editorial published in The American Journal of Public Health, titled "The Great Flu and After: Why the Nurses?", Penn Nursing's Patricia D'Antonio, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, the Carol E. Ware Professor in Mental Health Nursing, and colleagues provide an historical perspective illustrating how nursing has influenced the cultural and social dimensions of public health policies and practices.

Every two seconds, an American needs a blood transfusion. But blood transfusions aren’t as simple as taking one person’s blood and giving it to another. There are four different types, but type O negative blood is the only one that can be given to people with all other types. Because of this “universal” quality, it’s in short supply and in high demand, but an incredible breakthrough announced June 10 could change that.

While some people try to scare the world about the possible side-effects of vaccines, scientists are investigating them. Researchers have found that vaccines against rotaviruses really do have an unintended effect – but it's a good one. Vaccinated children are a third less likely to develop Type 1 diabetes.

By 2030, one in every five Americans will be of retirement age, marking the first time that older people will outnumber children. But will healthcare be prepared for this demographic shift?
A shortage of geriatricians means that care of older patients will likely fall to other medical care professionals, especially nurses, who work closely with patients across healthcare settings.
But according to a 2016 discussion paper in the National Academy of Medicine, fewer than one percent of registered nurses and three percent of advanced practice registered nurses are certified in geriatrics.

Digital marketer Mailchimp has removed several anti-vaccination activists from its platform and will no longer provide services to newsletters that push anti-vaccination content.
The move to block the anti-vaccination rhetoric follows similar actions by other tech companies and comes on the heels of increased pressure from public health advocates and lawmakers on digital platforms to curtail the spread of health misinformation.

Only a few cases of the newly discovered Bourbon virus have been reported, and two of them ended in death, partly because no specific treatments are available for the tick-borne illness. Now, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified an experimental antiviral drug that cures mice infected with the potentially lethal virus. The drug, favipiravir, is approved in Japan but not the U.S. for treatment of influenza, a related virus.

 According to a new survey from the American Psychological Association, average stress levels in the U.S. rose from 4.9 in 2014 to 5.1 on a 10-point stress scale, and there has been an increase in number of adults who experience extreme stress. Andrew Steckl, an Ohio Eminent Scholar and professor of electrical engineering in the University of Cincinnati's College of Engineering and Applied Science, and his research team have developed a new test that can easily and simply measure common stress hormones using sweat, blood, urine, or saliva.

Spending at least two hours a week in nature may be a crucial threshold for promoting health and wellbeing, according to a new large-scale study. Research led by the University of Exeter, published in Scientific Reports and funded by NIHR, found that people who spend at least 120 minutes in nature a week are significantly more likely to report good health and higher psychological wellbeing than those who don't visit nature at all during an average week.

A common myth about aging is that older adults are burdened by illness and feel lousy much of the time. In fact, the opposite is usually true. Most seniors report feeling distinctly positive about their health. Consider data from the 2017 National Health Interview Survey (the most recent available), administered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When asked to rate their overall health, 82 percent of adults ages 65 to 74 described it as excellent (18 percent), very good (32 percent) or good (32 percent) — on the positive side of the ledger.

Each year, one million men in the U.S. undergo biopsies to determine whether they have prostate cancer. The biopsy procedure traditionally has been guided by ultrasound imaging, but this method cannot clearly display the location of tumors in the prostate gland. A multidisciplinary team of UCLA physicians has found that a new method, which includes biopsy guided by magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, can be used together with the traditional method to increase the rate of prostate cancer detection.
