It is important to understand and identify factors that affect students' academic performance before entry into a nursing program and as they progress through the program. The authors discuss a study, and its outcomes, that assessed accelerated second-degree nursing students' prenursing and core nursing grades that served to predict their success at completing the nursing program and passing NCLEX-RN on first attempt. Strategies were identified to help at-risk students to be successful in the program and with first-time passage of NCLEX-RN.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a technology that has gained much attention in recent years regarding its potential application for stimulating wound healing, alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and aiding in the restoration of function. Due to a scarcity of evidence in the literature regarding PBM for the treatment of burns, our objective of this study was to test whether treatment with PBM in hospitalized patients with second-degree burns accelerated recovery. A double-blind controlled study was conducted on nine patients with up to 15% second-degree burns who were hospitalized at Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Ein Kerem Campus, Jerusalem Israel, between July 2022 and November 2022.
