Virtual reality (VR) simulation use in graduate nursing education is a growing innovative trend that can help with competency-based education. The Virtual Reality Simulation to aid in competency-based online nurse practitioner curriculum (VR-NP) pilot innovation and quality improvement project sought to deliver VR simulation as an educational strategy in an online graduate nursing program advanced health assessment course that enrolled sixty-six students. Twenty-nine of the students were provided loaner VR equipment to complete simulated advanced health assessments from their home while the remainder of students completed the same simulations using screen-based technology.

Ken will be remembered by his colleagues, and other workers in the field of photosynthesis as well, for his pioneering work that introduced the physical techniques whose application have enriched our understanding of the basic reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis. His laboratory was a training ground for many students and postdocs who went on to success in the field of photosynthesis and many others.

- Managing post-transplant care for kidney transplant recipients is challenging, particularly due to issues like food affordability and engaging in physical activity.
- A study involving 26 participants, mainly older adults with higher education, found that those with higher body mass index struggled with avoiding high-calorie foods, while age and education positively impacted physical activity levels.
- The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, especially those promoting regular exercise, to enhance the overall care and health outcomes for kidney transplant recipients.
Objective: The aims of this study were to describe burnout, mental health, and healthy lifestyle behaviors of nurses in a managerial role and assess associations among workplace culture factors (perceived culture, mattering, support, and staff shortages) with burnout, mental health outcomes, and healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Background: Nurse managers foster unit-based wellness cultures, yet burnout and mental health problems adversely impact the culture and well-being of staff.
Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design was used.
