The results of the 2024 nursing trends and salary survey are in. We asked clinical nurses and nurse managers to provide us with feedback about various topics, including staffing, workplace violence, and job satisfaction. Notably, respondents reported fewer workplace assaults but more dissatisfaction with the outcomes when they reported the events. One nurse said, “Actions speak louder than words. Telling us you care while doing nothing about what has occurred or even fully recognizing it tells us you care about politics more than people.”
Many nurse practitioners (NPs) provide care in medically underserved areas, some in one of the more than 1,400 free clinics throughout the United States. More patients who access care at free clinics meet the diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than those who receive care at fee-for-service clinics.
Some medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, can increase an individual’s risk for developing acute kidney injury.
A physician authorizes medical cannabis for an 18-year-old student who lives in a college dorm in a state where cannabis is legal for recreational use by anyone over 21 and also by minors with guardian approval. However, campus policy prohibits the use and storage of cannabis. College health center staff tell the student that his parents will need to store the cannabis and take him off campus to use it. The student’s family struggles to respond as their child ponders the risk of engaging in activities deemed legal in one context but illegal in another.
Why are new HIV cases still occurring when we have preventive treatment? One reason could be a lack of knowledge and experience among healthcare professionals to discuss, prescribe, and manage PrEP for vulnerable patients. Lack of information and discomfort with prescribing PrEP remain ongoing issues among healthcare professionals in the United States. Healthcare professionals should know how to identify appropriate candidates for PrEP, provide general education, and prescribe necessary preventive treatment.
