Restructuring nursing services following a hospital merger has an impact on retention. A career development program for nurses can be an effective retention strategy. Data were gathered from three focus groups of practicing nurses and an e-mail survey of students in the graduating nursing class. Based on their responses, a new career development structure was proposed. The structure involves three levels of development that provide an opportunity for registered nurses to grow in and expand their careers. The General Internship Program is geared toward new graduates and establishing a career. The Specialty Internship Program provides knowledge and skills in specialized nursing, and the Service Focused Cross Training Program allows nurses to expand their skills and focus their practice on one patients population.

Context: COVID-19 has been associated with features of a cytokine storm syndrome with some patients sharing features with the hyperinflammatory disorder, secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH).
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that proteins associated with sHLH from other causes will be associated with COVID-sHLH and that subjects with fatal COVID-sHLH would have defects in immune-related pathways.
Methods And Models: We identified two cohorts of adult patients presenting with COVID-19 at two tertiary care hospitals in Seattle, Washington in 2020 and 2021.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated already existing stressors within health care. In August 2020, a campus-wide COVID-19 well-being survey indicated high levels of burnout, stress, and mental health concerns among certified nurse practitioners (CNPs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and physician assistants (PAs) within our Department of Medicine.
Purpose: In response to this survey, an interdisciplinary task force was formed by CNPs, CNSs, and PAs across departmental specialty divisions to conduct focus groups to gain a deeper understanding of workplace experience both prepandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Retail food environments play a pivotal role in influencing dietary behaviors, and therefore have huge potential as settings for promoting good nutrition and preventing obesity. Conducting research in retail settings can be challenging due to the varied motivations of the parties involved and the complex nature of retail environments. To improve the quality and consistency of research in this field, we have identified 16 thematic topics aimed at guiding researchers and public health practitioners on how to conduct healthy food retail research.
