No excuses, no exceptions except with compassion: A narrative review of visitor aggression in pediatrics

New graduate registered nurses: Risk mitigation strategies to ensure safety and successful transition to practice
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has impacted traditional pathways for new graduate registered nurses (NGRN's) transition to practice. In response to stay at home emergency orders in 2020, NGRN's experienced changes in pre-licensure curriculum, clinical practicums, NCLEX testing, and licensure, all which influence preparedness for professional practice. The adverse impact on education and clinical training extends to all nursing students who attended higher education institutions of learning during 2020 to present and is a significant consideration with new graduates over the long-term, whom will be caring for patients in hea...

An ad hoc questionnaire was used and administered to 122 nurses belonging to three different departments of an Italian hospital. The frequency with which improvemen t interventions are noted following an IR report (p = 0.014) and the support received from their managers (p = 0.014) in reporting are among the factors that can have the greatest impact on the use of IR among the resp...
