The Board of Registered Nursing has made some necessary changes to be in compliance with DOJ and FBI fingerprint result information. All applicants must first submit an application for licensure to the Board prior to submission of fingerprints via Live Scan or hard card. After submission of an application for licensure, a request for Live Scan form or fingerprint hard cards must be submitted to the Board via the fingerprint request page. Upon receipt of the request, the Board will validate the submission of an application for licensure and will then email a link to the Live Scan form or mail the fingerprint hard card (if outside of California). Please allow 7-10 business days to receive your hard cards by mail or 3 business days to receive your Live Scan form link. Please visit the Board’s website to review all information regarding the submission of fingerprints.
The Interdisciplinary Center for Healthy Workplaces (ICHW) at UC Berkeley was established to be a place where the public can find the resources and tools they need in order to create healthy workplaces. In order to do this, ICHW gathers knowledge from scientific studies and best practices across multiple disciplines and integrates this knowledge into a coherent picture of what it takes to promote employee health and well-being. ICHW also conducts its own research studies in areas where there are significant gaps in our knowledge.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SURVEY
The survey instrument is comprised of five sets of questions:
- Demographics (age range, gender, employment status, role)
- Job characteristics (e.g., expectations, resources, control, personal growth opportunities)
- Interpersonal relations (e.g., trust, relationships, supervisory style)
- Organizational practices (e.g., employee involvement, recognition, safety, performance feedback)
- Job experience (e.g., equity, fairness, support, concern for well-being)

The Laurel Foundation needs medical staff for this camp to take place and it will be volunteer only. It is a full weekend, February 14-18, but we do provide housing and meals.

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.

Bullying between nurses, especially of those who are just starting out on the job, is incredibly common. Research shows that up to 85 percent of nurses have been verbally harassed at some point during their careers, and one in three bullied nurses has considered leaving the profession as a result. In theory, it’s up to leaders and HR to deal with such problems at their facilities, but this often doesn’t happen. Then, the responsibility falls on nurses themselves. Luckily, simple techniques, shared during a recent Twitter chat hosted by Lessons from the Bedside, can offer some relief.

There's no doubt that opioids have been massively overprescribed in U.S. In the haste to address the epidemic, there's been pressure on doctors to reduce prescriptions of these drugs — and in fact prescriptions are declining. But along the way, some chronic pain patients have been forced to rapidly taper or discontinue the drugs altogether.
Now, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a new message for doctors: Abrupt changes to a patient's opioid prescription could harm them.

U.S. health officials are preparing to release new guidance for doctors stressing the need to ask every patient with an apparent respiratory infection about their vaping history. The updated guidance will also advise physicians on how to diagnose and manage patients who may have both a lung infection and a vaping injury.

 Silos are a common sight in the farmlands of the world, but what about the silos we inhabit as healthcare clinicians, researchers, academicians, and administrators? What would happen if the silos disappeared? Historically, nurses have been at the beck and call of physicians, relegated to tasks previously identified as "non-professional." Recently, the separate silos of nurses and doctors have become less pronounced, allowing for increased trust, collaboration, and shared practice.

A nurse robot named Moxi is officially coming out of beta testing. Moxi concluded its first real-world trials last year to test a collaborative automation integration in a working medical facility.
Moxi was designed by Austin-based Diligent Robotics, an automation firm bringing its hospital robot assistant to the real world, starting with a Texas hospital. The company has received backing from investment firm True Ventures and had early financial support from the National Science Foundation, which awarded Diligent with a series of Small Business Innovation Research grant.

Milasen is thought to be the first example of a treatment created for just one person that's likely to work only for them. In a paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists reported the drug reduced or halted several symptoms of Batten disease, which is always fatal, usually killing patients by the time they reach their late teens.
The apparent success of milasen is stunning proof of how these designer genetic drugs, known as antisense oligonucleotides, can be personalized for individuals, researchers say.

 Cancer is one of the top five leading causes of death in the U.S. The American Cancer Society estimates 1.7 million new cases will be diagnosed and more than 600,000 people will die of the disease in 2019. Americans are responding to these alarming numbers, but the public and the federal government are focusing their concerns — and donations — on cancers getting the most publicity, not the ones killing the most people.

Many of the world's most common or deadly human pathogens are RNA-based viruses—Ebola, Zika and flu, for example—and most have no FDA-approved treatments. A team led by researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has now turned a CRISPR RNA-cutting enzyme into an antiviral that can be programmed to detect and destroy RNA-based viruses in human cells.

There’s nothing like a home-cooked meal. Not only are they comforting, but they’re also healthier than take-out food, according to a new report. Researchers from the Silent Spring Institute recently conducted a study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, to explore the association between restaurant food and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. PFAS are a class of chemicals used in nonstick, stain-resistant and waterproof products, such as cookware and food packaging. The chemicals have been linked to an array of health issues like cancer, thyroid disease, low birth rate and decreased fertility.
