Noticeably absent in the discussions surrounding nurse staffing and adverse events is the patients' perspective, except for their satisfaction with various aspects of their hospitalization experience. The results of a study undertaken to test a theoretical model of patients' perceptions of nurse staffing, the nursing care they receive, self-reported adverse events, and overall satisfaction with the hospital experience are presented. Perception of nurse staffing only weakly predicted the number of adverse events reported by patients, but was a strong predictor of the perception of nursing care received, and the perception of nursing care received was the only significant predictor of overall satisfaction with the hospital experience.

The International Council of Nurses emphasizes that nurses should strive to reduce the effects of climate change and help individuals and systems adapt. In addition, it is stated that climate change should be integrated into nursing education curricula and nursing students, who are future healthcare providers, should be prepared to reduce the effects of climate change and promote a healthier environment.

Purpose: Cancer constitutes a significant global health challenge, with projections indicating a continued increase in its prevalence in the foreseeable future. This trend is particularly pronounced in Latin America (LATAM), where the cancer burden has increased substantially over the coming decades. Concurrently, nursing, which represents the largest segment of the health care workforce globally, is important for addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by cancer care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

However, little is known about non-physician practitioner durability and demographic trends in emergency departments. Our objective was to examine attrition rates and ages among non-physician practitioners in emergency medicine.

Ongoing challenges in the provision of care, driven by growing care complexity and nursing shortages, prompt us to reconsider the basis for efficient division of nursing labour. In organising nursing work, traditionally the focus has been on identifying nursing tasks that can be delegated to other less expensive and less highly educated staff, in order to make best use of scarce resources. We argue that nursing care activities are connected and intertwined.
