Nurses play a crucial role in addressing human health influenced by global forces such as pandemics, and political conflicts that displace millions; in leading efforts to promote planetary health; and in achieving the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Agenda. Academic nursing programs have a significant role in actualizing nursing's impact on global health (GH) and planetary health (PH). This paper describes how nursing programs can actualize their GH and PH nursing perspectives to benefit students and society, thereby increasing nursing's effectiveness and improving health outcomes in local and global settings.

Problem: Current literature focused on transitioning to a CBC lacks discussion on how to sustain a CBC once it is implemented.
Approach: In this article, the authors emphasize the importance of intentionally sustaining a dynamic CBC and provide strategies to accomplish this aspect of the curriculum trajectory.
Objective: The aim of this article is to describe the current state of fatigue risk management systems (FRMSs) to address nurse fatigue in hospitals.
Background: Little is known about the current state of FRMS implementation and adoption of national recommendations in nursing work systems.
Methods: This study used a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design including a survey of nurse leaders from across the United States.
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the current state of fatigue risk management systems (FRMS) to address nurse fatigue in hospitals.
Background: Although multiple studies have examined sources and consequences of fatigue, little is known about the current state of FRMS.
Methods: This study used a sequential exploratory mixed-method design including a survey of nurse leaders from across the United States.
Aim: To describe hospital nurse leaders' experiences of fatigue.
Background: Fatigue is a critical challenge in nursing. Existing literature focuses on staff nurse fatigue, yet nurse leaders are exposed to high demands that may contribute to fatigue and associated risks to patient, nurse and organisational outcomes.
Addressing occupational fatigue in nursing work systems and mitigating associated risks to nurses require strategic management and high-level decision making as well as daily management through operational and tactical actions. Nurse executives are well positioned to lead implementation of a proposed multilevel fatigue risk management system that includes monitoring and decision-support tools to support a culture of safety and nurse well-being.
