ANA is updating paper on Principles Of Staffing & Workforce Management: The Future Of Nursing As Holistic Providers And Advocates Of Care. The deadline for comments is 5 p.m. ET Aug. 17, 2018.
The Staffing Principles update is open for public comment.
Since the original 1999 publication of ANA’s Principles for Nurse Staffing, staffing issues facing the profession have reached multidimensional heights in complexity. ANA believes that the interaction where care is given—the encounter between a nurse and patient/healthcare consumer, family, or community—is where staffing concerns need to be addressed and solutions developed. The Principles document affords a framework to help all nurses address questions about appropriate staffing levels, provide measurable criteria to assess the sufficiency of staffing & skill mix, as well as criteria for evaluating workforce staffing systems.

"I feel dizzy" is a common complaint in the ER and triage nurses sometimes use the shorthand "IFD" when describing the patient's complaint. Finding a diagnosis for this vague symptom can be challenging. One thing the nurse can do to speed up the process is to drill down to a more firm description than dizziness.
Dizziness is a complaint that can include four separate symptoms, sometimes overlapping. A careful history will reveal one or more of these: vertigo, disequilibrium, presyncope, or light-headedness.

According to Annmarie Flannery, R.N., administrative nurse manager at Montefiore Medical Center, the center is looking for nurses with strong organizational skills, previous nursing experience in oncology, and the ability to work autonomously. As well as being able to change focus, toward the patient in distress when necessary, another critical skill for nurses is the ability to delegate.

 Nearly half of American adults have diabetes or prediabetes. Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease (the most common diabetes complication) by about four times in women but only about two times in men, and women have worse outcomes after a heart attack. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that people with diabetes are at significantly higher risk for many forms of cancer. In fact, diabetes and cancer often coexist in the same individuals.

In any given year, roughly 1 in 4 girls in U.S. high schools and 1 in 10 boys try to harm themselves even when they are not attempting suicide, a recent study suggests.
So-called non-suicidal self-injury has long been more common among girls than boys, but the current study offers fresh evidence that the problem is widespread for youth of both sexes.

Symptomatic obese adults shed influenza A for 42 percent longer than non-obese adults. Moreover, among cases with no more than one symptom (not including fever), obese adults shed the virus for 104 percent longer than non-obese adults.

The Durand family is unique. All six of the children have Marfan Syndrome in varying degrees, as does the father, but all the children can hear. Both parents are deaf.
The children learned to communicate with their parents through a combination of speaking/lip reading and American Sign Language. The parents also used email and texting. Thus, the family was able to communicate with one another without formal ASL training.

For specialist nurses on neurocritical care units, accompanying patients for imaging scans and other procedures has a major impact on nurse staffing ratios, reports a study in the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, official journal of the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses. "Patients in a neurologic critical care unit require more staffing to account for the frequent neurologic assessments, charting, and traveling," according to the workflow study by Michelle Hill, MS, RN, AGCNS-BC, CNRN, CCRN, SCRN, and Jessica DeWitt, BSN, RN, of Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus, Ohio.

Communication breakdown among nurses and doctors is one of the primary reasons for patient care mistakes in the hospital. And since care quality is increasingly linked to reimbursement, those mistakes can be costly from both a health and financial perspective.
In a small pilot study, University of Michigan researchers learned about potential causes of these communication failures by recording interactions among nurses and doctors, and then having them watch and critique the footage together.
