A model of nursing student retention was studied in nontraditional, associate degree nursing students. Student retention was defined as persistence, or choosing to continue in a nursing program, and successful academic performance, or meeting the necessary academic standards to continue in a nursing program. The model shows the interaction of background variables, internal psychological processes, and external supports, and their relationships to persistence and academic performance. Participants were 458 nontraditional associate degree nursing students. There were significant differences in background variables between students who persisted and those who withdrew voluntarily or failed academically. Perceived faculty support was related to both persistence and academic performance, such that students with higher perceived faculty support were more likely to continue in a nursing program until graduation and were more likely to be successful academically. Students with higher perceived faculty support also had higher outcome expectations of earning an associate degree in nursing.

Increasing healthcare costs, limited healthcare resources, an aging population, and lifestyle-related diseases make wound management a growing clinical, social, and economic burden. This case series investigated the use of a novel, biocompatible, polymer-based transforming powder dressing (TPD) that transforms in situ to a shape-retentive wound matrix upon hydration for treating wounds of various etiologies.In this institutional review board-approved single-center retrospective case series, the researchers evaluated various acute and chronic wounds treated with TPD over a period of 2 years.

Objective: To determine if an escape room game approach, which has emerged as a novel and engaging education tool, is an effective method to improve nursing students' knowledge of pressure injury (PI) prevention and attitudes toward the care of patients with a PI.
Methods: This study evaluated 33 university nursing students using a quasi-experimental pretest/posttest design. Students completed five questionnaires before the escape room experience and again 1 month after.

Clinical supervision is a valued learning tool for student nurses; however, there is a paucity of description around real-time experience of clinical supervision among qualified advanced nurse practitioners. Many qualified nurses claim delays in engaging with clinical supervision may be caused by staff shortages, time constraints, workload in busy clinical environments, or a reticence to engage in discussions that might reveal shortcomings in knowledge or practical skills. This article reviews a process of monthly clinical supervision that has been conducted among a group of qualified emergency department advanced nurse practitioners for 25 years.

Background: Medical students often struggle to engage with and retain complex pharmacology topics during their preclinical education. Traditional teaching methods can lead to passive learning and poor long-term retention of critical concepts.
Objective: This study aims to enhance the teaching of clinical pharmacology in medical school by using a multimodal generative artificial intelligence (genAI) approach to create compelling, cinematic clinical narratives (CCNs).
