Published: November 2020

Background: This study aims to generate knowledge about how clinical placements contribute to the creation of sustainable nursing education in Denmark. The article discusses how nursing students feel socially excluded when registered nurses do not recognise them through deviating from culturally appropriate greeting rituals.

Method: A constructivist grounded theory study of (n = 15) individual semi-structured interviews with nursing students in their first and third years of study.

Results: Nursing students feel awkward, alienated and uncomfortable when confronted with a culture where registered nurses do not greet them. They are met by the attitude that Bauman refers to as "appropriate indifference," which means that the registered nurses act as if they neither see nor hear them because they are considered faceless private failures.

Conclusion: Nurses' non-greeting rituals in clinical placements counteract the creation of sustainable nursing education. The aim of this article is to contribute with knowledge about socially inappropriate non-greeting rituals and recommend friendly and socially sustainable education in clinical placements.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains one of the most common causes for cardiogenic shock (CS), with high inpatient mortality (40-50 %). Studies have reported the use of pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) in decompensated heart failure, but contemporary data on their use to guide management of AMI-CS and in different SCAI stages of CS are lacking. We investigated the association of PACs and clinical outcomes in AMI-CS.

Background: When designing removable partial dentures, maximizing the effectiveness of support and bracing is necessary to minimize denture movement. Therefore, it is essential to emphasize the importance of providing patients with appropriate, safe, and secure removable partial dentures and have clinicians rerecognize the concept and importance of support and bracing. This study aimed to present extension-base removable partial dentures through six specific clinical case series and describe the effect of support and bracing action on denture design, which is essential for denture movement minimization.

There is substantial variation in access to transplantation across the United States that is not entirely explained by the availability of donor organs. Barriers to transplantation and variation in care among patients with end-stage organ disease exist prior to patients' placement on a transplant waiting list as well as following waitlist placement. However, there are currently no national data available to examine rates and variations in key care processes related to pre-listing, including transplant referral, evaluation, or candidate selection.
