Background: Organizational change within nursing schools that supports growth of students, faculty, and staff from underrepresented groups occurs through purposeful strategies and commitments to building capacity for the spectra and richness of diverse perspectives.
Purpose: To evaluate framework-guided initiatives, our organization implemented to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion to achieve inclusive excellence in nursing education and leadership.
Methods: Framework-guided initiatives include a standardized diversity education model, hiring bias mitigation strategies, equitable spending, partnerships for student and faculty recruitment, and restructuring committees to include diverse perspectives.
Incivility is prevalent in the clinical workplace and can lead to reduced self-confidence, adverse health effects, and negative implications for patient care. Cognitive rehearsal training (CRT) serves as a mental plan that individuals can use to counter incivility. This mixed-methods study examined select outcomes related to experiencing incivility for nursing students before and after receiving CRT and early into their professional practice.

- - The study focused on how obesity and depressive symptoms are linked to chest pain (CP) in patients with nonobstructive coronary artery disease, revealing that 71.5% of participants experienced CP, with a particularly higher prevalence in those with obesity (77.6% vs. 67%).
- - Out of 814 patients, obesity was found to significantly increase CP occurrence, especially in men, who showed more frequent and prevalent CP compared to women with similar obesity levels.
- - The research concluded that both obesity and depressive symptoms are independently associated with CP, and the impact of obesity on CP in men was partially mediated by levels of depressive symptoms.
Background: Addressing threats to the nursing and public health workforce, while also strengthening the skills of current and future workers, requires programmatic solutions. Training programs should be guided by frameworks, which leverage nursing expertise and leadership, partnerships, and integrate ongoing evaluation.
Purpose Statement: This article provides a replicable framework to grow, bolster, and diversify the nursing and public health workforces, known as the Nurse-led Equitable Learning (NEL) Framework for Training Programs.
Objective: In this pilot study, we used untargeted metabolomics to identify biochemical mechanisms or biomarkers potentially underlying SLE-related fatigue.
Methods: Metabolon conducted untargeted metabolomic plasma profiling using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry on plasma samples of 23 Black females with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 21 no SLE controls. Fatigue phenotypes of general fatigue, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, reduced activity, and reduced motivation were measured with the reliable and valid Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI).
