A 341-bed Magnet® designated facility expanded its shared governance structure by incorporating a night shift council. The formation of this council allowed for more robust communication and collaboration between disciplines among night shift staff while increasing engagement scores. The council has established many initiatives to support night shift staff that can be adapted for use by other hospitals and health systems interested in expanding their shared governance structure.

An examination of the associations between these factors and patient outcomes will help identify the impact that nurses make on patient care, including health and safety.
Drought induced metabolic shifts and water loss mechanisms in canola: role of cysteine, phenylalanine and aspartic acid.
Front Plant Sci

Department of Cell and Systems Biology, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Drought conditions severely curtail the ability of plants to accumulate biomass due to the closure of stomata and the decrease of photosynthetic assimilation rate. Additionally, there is a shift in the plant's metabolic processes toward the production of metabolites that offer protection and aid in osmoadaptation, as opposed to those required for development and growth. To limit water loss via non-stomatal transpiration, plants adjust the load and composition of cuticle waxes, which act as an additional barrier.
