Background And Objective: For treating community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults, early switching from injectable to oral antimicrobials (switch therapy) is accepted once the clinical course is favorable. Lascufloxacin (LSFX) is a quinolone antibacterial agent, available in intravenous and oral formulations, demonstrating antibacterial activity against a relatively broad spectrum of community-onset pneumonia (COP). No switch therapy using the same drug from injectable to oral antimicrobials has been reported; therefore, we conducted the study to confirm the efficacy and safety of the switch therapy using LSFX.

Bird migration has fascinated natural historians and scientists for centuries. While the timing of migration is known to vary by species, population, sex, and individual, identifying the cause of this variation can be challenging. Here we investigate factors underlying migratory timing in a long-distance migratory bird, the Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypas trichas), using a population genomic approach.

Background: Though preparing autonomous advanced nursing providers who are ready to care for complex clients in a variety of settings after graduation is necessary to achieve clinical competence, NP clinical education activities used to achieve competencies are greatly variable and hard to measure. The quality of students' clinical experiences impacts students' achievement of clinical competence (CC) and achieving CC is important for the NPs to successfully transition to practice after graduation.
Aim: The purpose of this project is to apply the Cognitive Preceptorship Model (CPM) to design, describe, and explain the clinical activities that are NP role-specific, that scaffold from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), and National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) competencies and that help NP students achieve competencies.

Background: Current nursing instructional methods inadequately prepare students for complex healthcare settings, exacerbating challenges in new graduate competency and transition to practice. The introduction of standardized competencies marks a substantial shift in nursing education, posing a considerable challenge for faculty implementing these changes.
Purpose: This study examined the experiences of faculty implementing a competency-based education program utilizing The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (2021) in undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) education programs.
