In the background of the photo, which was posted online, are products including prescription medication.
But zooming in on that pill bottle makes the details unreadable.
In a small, dark lab Jim Cole, special agent and supervisor of Victim Identification at the Homeland Security Investigations Cyber Crimes Center gets to work using the latest technology available.

Have you ever found yourself poring over stacks of data, feeling more like a statistician than a nurse? If you have, welcome to the world of big data. "You have all of these different data sources coming at you on a weekly, monthly, quarterly basis. The CFO has a stack of data for you, your productivity-management engineer people have a stack of data for you, HR has a stack of data for you, and then your quality director, your clinical folks, have a stack of data for you," says Jane Englebright, RN, PhD, CEBP, FAAN, chief nursing executive and senior vice president at Nashville, Tennessee-based HCA.

There's something about Atlanta, Chicago and Detroit that traps children in poverty. Poor kids who grow up there are less likely to reach the middle class as adults than poor kids who grow up in, say, Salt Lake City, according to a now-famous study released three years ago that found wide geographic variation in economic mobility across the country.
Precisely what that something is, though, the authors couldn't say.

We all know that nursing can be one of the most stressful professions, and there are lots of studies to prove so. Often, the knee-jerk reaction can be to just hire more nurses to try to lighten the workload, but some believe that’s a bad idea if they’re being brought into a disorganized hospital, NPR’s Shots blog reports.

For children, the wounds of a traumatic experience can run deep, and the scars can linger for years. This has long been intuitive to people who work with traumatized kids.
Now there's a growing body of research that shows how these experiences can derail a child's normal brain development, increasing the chance of mental health problems like depression, anxiety, eating disorders and substance abuse.

Recently, the nursing profession has emphasized the role of the nurse as leader. It is critical to keep in mind, however, that leadership is not a new role for nurses. Nurses have undertaken this obligation and duty for many years.
A 2016 released e-book by the American Nurses Association, “Nightingale’s Legacy: The Evolution of American Nurse Leaders,” affirms the “historical achievements of 20 prominent nurse leaders from Florence Nightingale’s time to the present,” according to Nursebooks.

 In an era of nursing faculty shortages and a highly competitive job market, supporting prenursing students is crucial. We've all heard stories abound about individuals who are lucky enough to get accepted into nursing school, graduate in good standing and then can't find a job. Many of those newly minted nurses can't find the med-surg jobs everyone says they need in order to succeed. Meanwhile, other employers refuse to hire them until they have med-surg experience.

Dr. Temple will discuss sexting (a combination of the words sex and texting), the practice of electronically sending sexually explicit images or messages from one person to another. Sexting has received an abundance of attention in the popular press. Much of this attention has been limited to (1) legal cases in which teens who create, send, receive, store, and/or disseminate nude pictures of themselves or another teen face criminal charges including child pornography, and (2) cases in which teens are harassed and bullied as a result of the nude picture being distributed beyond the intended audience.

Nurse mangers, charge nurses, and team leaders are responsible for promoting safe and effective patient care while maintaining the highest clinical standards in that setting. Not only must the team leader be an expert clinician, but they must also be skilled in delegation, supervision and the evaluation of subordinate staff's activities. Nurse mangers are accountable not only to the patients whom they care for but also to those whom they supervise. The three most essential concepts for the nurse manager, supervisor, or team leader to concentrate on to prevent being found liable for negligence are delegation; appropriate nursing supervision; and scope and standards of practice.
