Clarifying the Qualifications for Nurse Scientists.

The roles of PhD- and DNP-prepared nurses are very different.

A study of error reporting by nurses: the significant impact of nursing team dynamics.

Background: Error reporting is crucial for organisational learning and improving patient safety in hospitals, yet errors are significantly underreported.

Aims: The aim of this study was to understand how the nursing team dynamics of leader inclusiveness, safety climate and psychological safety affected the willingness of hospital nurses to report errors.

Methods: The study was a cross-sectional design.

Improving Reporting Culture Through Daily Safety Huddles.

Background And Objectives: A major obstacle to safer care is lack of error reporting, preventing the opportunity to learn from those events. On an acute care unit in a children's hospital in southeastern United States, error reporting and Survey for Patient Safety Culture (SOPS 1.0) scores fell short of agency benchmarks.

The Virtual Hospital: An Innovative Solution for Disaster Response.

Like any disaster, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges to healthcare systems, especially the threat of insufficient bed capacity and resources. Hospitals have been required to plan for and implement innovative approaches to expand hospital inpatient and intensive care capacity. This article presents how one of the largest healthcare systems in the United States leveraged existing technology infrastructure to create a virtual hospital that extended care beyond the walls of the "brick and mortar" hospital.

Original Research: Well-Being and Resilience Among Health Care Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Poor well-being among health care workers, often observed as professional burnout, is a well-documented phenomenon. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has further stressed the health care workforce, but its specific effects on this workforce remain unknown. This study examined well-being and resilience among health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conducting Research in Hospitals: Methods to Maximize Survey Response Rates Among Nurses.

Conducting high-quality research in hospitals can be challenging. Surveys are a cost-effective method to collect data and conduct research studies in hospitals. However, survey response rates can present a challenge to researchers.

Developing a Curriculum to Educate Postgraduate Practitioners on Scholarly Projects.

Many hospitals across the country have postgraduate fellowship programs for nurse practitioners and physician assistants. An important aspect of these programs is a scholarly project focused on patient outcomes. However, many fellows lack the experience and skills necessary to complete a scholarly project.
