The Arcus Experience: Bridging the Data Science Gap for Nurse Researchers.

Background: For years, nurse researchers have been called upon to engage with "big data" in the electronic health record (EHR) by leading studies focusing on nurse-centric patient outcomes and providing clinical analysis of potential outcome indicators. However, the current gap in nurses' data science education and training poses a significant barrier.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the viability of conducting nurse-led, big-data research projects within a custom-designed computational laboratory and examine the support required by a team of researchers with little to no big-data experience.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children in the Critical Care Setting.

Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a new syndrome that has been hypothesized to be connected with the COVID-19 pandemic. Children are presenting-likely after SARS-CoV-2 infection or exposure-with vague symptoms including fever, gastrointestinal distress, and/or rash.

Objective: To review what is currently known about multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, including physiology, signs and symptoms, laboratory and imaging findings, treatment options, and nursing considerations in critical care settings.

Behavioral Crisis Management: A Quality Improvement Pilot for Improving Teamwork in a Primary Care Pediatric Setting.

Introduction: Children with behavioral escalations in the primary care office may pose safety risks to themselves and others. Interprofessional teams utilizing crisis resource management (CRM) skills more successfully manage behavioral crises. The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) pilot project was to improve team performance during a behavioral crisis in pediatric primary care, as well as evaluate learner satisfaction with the curriculum.

CE: Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: A Review.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the health of children worldwide. Although overall mortality from COVID-19 in children remains low, an associated multisystem inflammatory disorder has emerged. The disorder has been recognized and named multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Nurses' Perceptions of Workload Burden in Pediatric Critical Care.

Background: Quantifying nurses' perceptions of workload burden when managing critically ill patients is essential for designing interventions to ease nurses' workday.

Objectives: To explore pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) nurses' perceptions of their workload when caring for critically ill patients and managing protocolized therapies.

Methods: This study was embedded in a multicenter randomized clinical trial where participants were assigned to receive either lower-target or higher-target glucose control.
