Persons living with a mental illness represent an especially vulnerable and disadvantaged subgroup of smokers. Compared to those in the general population, they smoke more, die younger, and suffer disproportionately from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer, all diseases and conditions directly associated with, and exacerbated by, smoking. Despite strong evidence that tobacco cessation counseling by a health professional can approximately double patients' odds of quitting, clinicians across disciplines are reluctant to offer these individuals effective means by which to quit smoking.

Pain: a content review of undergraduate pre-registration nurse education in the United Kingdom
Pain is a global health issue with poor assessment and management of pain associated with serious disability and detrimental socio economic consequences. Pain is also a closely associated symptom of the three major causes of death in the developed world; Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke and Cancer. There is a significant body of work which indicates that current nursing practice has failed to address pain as a priority, resulting in poor practice and unnecessary patient suffering.Additionally nurse education appears to lack focus or emphasis on the importance of pain assessment and its management.

Adult simulation and demonstration of nurse competency with neurological assessment
Nurses work in challenging environments and vast amounts of information are shared on a continual basis. Changes in health care and bedside nursing are constant which make maintaining competency in this dynamic environment challenging. In addition, as documentation has transitioned to electronic medical records, new challenges have been created. The purpose of this paper is to describe an educational intervention using a live standardized patient (actor) simulation with staff nurses that care for patients after a stroke or carotid intervention.
