Published: December 2021

There is a growing concern in education and healthcare that we are not adequately preparing or transitioning newly graduated nurses (NGNs) into the workplace. Several studies over the past decade have revealed relationships between the mental health of NGNs and their experience of the workplace environment. Even before the destabilizing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, overwhelming workload intensities were forcing nurses to become organizational task masters and crisis facilitators rather than clinical case managers and direct-care providers. This paper outlines numerous practical and evidence-based interventions for mitigating transition shock and assisting NGNs in successfully navigating the stages of transition.

Stemming from our involvement in a health research study, this analysis interrogates the disparity between the stated importance of YALLE contributions in health research and their actual recognition, specifically in academic publications, which serve as the principal "currency" in research. This tokenism limits the potential for their unique insights to substantially enrich the discourse and dissemination of knowledge.

In their scoping review Bennett et al. present a summary framework for public health surveillance of unhealthy commodity industries (UCI) that impact human health, which is important in view of the rising burden of non-communicable diseases, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The authors focus on the tobacco, alcohol and food and beverage industry and discuss who should 'own' the process; where in the public sector administration the responsibility should lie; and how and which practices or organizations to monitor.
