Identifying and Mitigating Fraud When Using Social Media for Research Recruitment
One of the biggest challenges in conducting a research study is the recruitment of study participants. Traditional recruitment methods of flyers, letters, or emails can be expensive.

An Epidemic of Incivility in the Emergency Department
I am not exactly sure why, but there seems to be a level of incivility toward health care workers in our emergency departments today that was not as prevalent before the pandemic. This is definitely a common thread as I talk to other concerned emergency nurses throughout the country and the world. Incivility is hard to describe but we know what it is immediately when we see it, and it is troubling. (Source: Journal of Emergency Nursing: JEN)
