Senate hearing on sexual assault in the military takes on justice system
The Huffington Post
“The issue of sexual violence in the military is not new. And it has been allowed to go on in the shadows for far too long," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., the subcommittee chair, said in her opening statement. She called the military justice system dysfunctional, noting that less than one out of 10 reported attackers are held accountable. The Department of Defense estimates that military sexual assault claimed 19,000 victims in fiscal year 2011 — more than 50 per day.

Overcoming compassion fatigue
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nurses are good at many things, but sometimes taking care of themselves is not one of them. Called to care for others, nurses often put their own needs last, but that's not a healthy practice, says the American Nurses Association. The ANA's code of ethics states that healthcare workers have a moral obligation to care for themselves so they can care for others effectively.
College groups connect to fight sexual assault
The New York Times
Frustrated and angry over the handling of sexual assault cases at Occidental College in Los Angeles, a group of students and faculty members recently decided to take the matter to the federal government as a civil rights case. Few people had explored this legal terrain, so the Occidental group reached out to women at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who had filed a similar complaint — which this month prompted a federal investigation — for insights on how to press their case.
Nurses: Patient safety programs ineffective
HealthLeaders Media
Nurses see themselves as the gate-keepers of patient safety, but many believe that the culture inside their hospitals actually keeps them from achieving patient safety goals. They say poor communication, ineffective programs and punitive environments are hampering patient safety efforts.
