Career Choices and Experiences in Role Transition: A Multistate Survey of Pediatric-Focused Hospital-Based Nurse Practitioners.

Introduction: We examined factors influencing pediatric hospital-based APPs' career decisions and described the transition to practice experiences.

Method: We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive electronic survey using a novel instrument to examine APP career decisions and transition to practice experiences among APPs in four Southeastern children's hospitals.

Results: There were 158 respondents composed of family nurse practitioners (NPs) (30%), primary care pediatric NPs (24%), and acute care pediatric NPs (18%).

Association between premorbid neuropsychological conditions and pediatric mild traumatic brain injury/concussion recovery time and symptom severity: a systematic review.

Objective: The objective of this review was to identify associations between premorbid neuropsychological conditions and pediatric mild traumatic brain injury/concussion recovery time and symptom severity.

Introduction: There is a lack of evidence-based clinical guidelines for the care of children with a premorbid neuropsychological condition who have sustained a mild traumatic brain injury, also known as concussion. This necessitates inquiry for any associations that may exist, which may contribute to an enhanced understanding of injury recovery patterns.

The association of premorbid neuropsychological conditions with pediatric mild traumatic brain injury/concussion recovery time and symptom severity: a systematic review protocol.

The question of this review is: What is the association of premorbid neuropsychological conditions with mild traumatic brain injury/concussion recovery time and symptom severity in children?

Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Population Health: An Introduction for Nursing Care Providers.

Despite increasing injury prevalence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children, most injuries in children are mild in severity. Even mild injuries can result in long-term or chronic effects not apparent until the child ages, resulting in increased economic burden and overall lifetime costs related to injury. Early recognition of TBI is essential for ongoing evaluation and management of acute symptoms and reduction of chronic health effects.
