Newly graduated and nurse resident competencies: Perceptions of nurse faculty and acute care hospital leaders in the state of Maryland.

Background: The many educational pathways to obtain a professional nursing degree create confusion among healthcare leaders about new graduate nurses' (NGNs) competency expectations when entering practice.

Purpose: This research sought to identify, among Maryland nursing academic and practice leaders, a standard set of NGN competencies after completing their prelicensure program and nurse residency program (NRP) at 12 months.

Method: A mixed-method approach was used, including a survey of 109 outcome statements and faculty and practice leader focus groups.

Identification of statewide core competencies for new graduate nurses at the beginning of practice and after a 12-month nurse residency program.

Aim: To inform the development of statewide core competencies for new graduate nurses at the beginning of their professional career and after completing a 12-month nurse residency program.

Background: Although studies have attempted to clarify the expected core competencies of new graduate nurses at the beginning of their professional career, results are mixed. Additionally, nurse residency program competency expectations vary.

Effect of Adding the Antimicrobial L-Carnitine to Growing Rabbits' Drinking Water on Growth Efficiency, Hematological, Biochemical, and Carcass Aspects.

The current study was designed to assess the impact of L-carnitine (LC) supplementation in the drinking water of growing Alexandria-line rabbits on performance and physiological parameters. Two hundred eighty-eight 35-day-old rabbits were divided into four groups of twenty-four replicates each (seventy-two rabbits/treatment). The treatment groups were a control group without LC and three groups receiving 0.

Sucralose Influences the Productive Performance, Carcass Traits, Blood Components, and Gut Microflora Using 16S rRNA Sequencing of Growing APRI-Line Rabbits.

This study investigated how sucralose influenced rabbit intestine and caecal microbial activity, blood parameters, growth performance, carcass characteristics, and digestibility. In total, 160 5-week-old rabbits from the APRI line weighing 563.29 gm were randomly assigned to four experimental groups with four replicates-5 males and 5 females in each.

Investigating the Chemical Composition of Seeds and Their Ability to Safeguard against Monosodium Glutamate-Induced Hepatic Dysfunction.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is one of the most frequently used food additives that endanger public health. The antioxidant, hyperlipidemic, and cytoprotective properties of seeds (LSS) as a natural remedy can minimize the harmful effects of MSG. This study investigated the potential protective effect of LSS against MSG-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
