Speaking
Up About Medical Errors
and Near Misses
By
Debra Wood, RN,
contributor
As
much as healthcare
organizations strive for
error-free patient care,
there are times when
something does go wrong.
The actions of a physician
or nurse may result in a
near miss or a failure
that leads to patient
harm. The key question is,
what should you do if you
make a mistake or observe
a problem?

Do
By
Juliet Wilkinson, RN, BSN,

No
matter where your travel
assignments take you, you
are likely to come in

systems. More than 60,000
cancer patients are
hospitalized each year in
the United States due to
infections, and some do
not survive. Here's what

Long
Work Shifts Impact Nurses
and Patients
By
Debra Wood, RN,
contributor
Are 12-hour shifts good or
bad? A new study shows
that even though nurses
overwhelmingly expressed
satisfaction with
schedules that included
longer shifts and more
days off, working long
hours was associated with
more nurse burnout, a
greater intention to leave
their positions and
decreased patient
satisfaction.

Does
My New Job Mean I May Be 'Stuck'
in This Specialty?
By
Aaron J. Moore, RN, MSN,
columnist
Q: I'm a recent new grad, and in
today's tough job market, I feel
lucky to have landed a job in a
behavioral health unit. My
concern is that people say I'll
get "stuck" in this specialty.
I'd like to believe this is not
true as I've heard that you can
switch from specialty to
specialty. I'd like to stay in
this field for two years to
establish sufficient knowledge.
Is it true that I could get
"stuck" in this specialty? And
what can I do to keep my medical
nursing skills up to date?
