17. Viral anti-vaccine infertility misinformation reaches new extremes
NBC News
From May 18: The reason, said Yehuda Goldberg, owner of Brothers Butcher Shoppe in Ontario, is that evidence is surfacing that people who have been vaccinated are "shedding spike proteins," which appears to be affecting women's menstrual cycles. While medical experts say that isn't true, Goldberg said that what he's reading shows that just being around someone who has been vaccinated can cause reproductive health issues for women and that he doesn't want to endanger any of his female customers.

UC Davis Health
From Aug. 10: “There’s a perfect storm of factors that keep a number of patients housed in our hospital for extraordinary, unnecessary lengths of time,” said J.

13. Nursing schools turn to simulations during the pandemic. But do they work?
CalMatters
From March 30: The pandemic has restricted the number of clinical placements available to nursing students in hospitals, forcing them to practice their skills instead on mannequins, virtual patients like Jones, or at home with relatives and even stuffed animals. California has relaxed regulations to allow for more virtual education, but some nursing students say they feel less confident in their skills and others have had their graduation delayed, at a time when the state arguably needs nurses more than ever.

Healio Psychiatry
From April 20: “Many studies have examined physician suicide, but we noticed that nurses have been left out of the spotlight,” Benjamin A. Y. Cher, MS, of the University of Michigan Medical School, told Healio Psychiatry. “In this study, we determined suicide rates among nurses and made comparisons with those of physicians and the general population. We examined men and women separately because these groups are known to have different suicide rates and different risk factors for suicide.”

11. Nursing leader illuminates strategies to expedite independence for nurse practitioners
CHCF
From Nov. 9: In September 2020, California governor Gavin Newsom and the state legislature opened the pathway for nurse practitioners to treat patients without physician supervision when they enacted AB 890 (Asm. Wood). This is a critical change that has the potential to increase access to health care for many state residents, particularly those most affected by provider shortages. Advocates of the legislation celebrated the milestone, which came after three previously unsuccessful attempts to pass similar legislation.
