Disease relevance of Nurses

• This study extends beyond prior research by expanding the scope of staffing intensity and skill mix measures beyond that of physicians and nursing personnel and by focusing on a specific diagnostic group, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [1].

High impact information on Nurses

• Diminishing the frequency with which nurses recap needles, increasing precautions they take, reducing use of temporary nursing personnel, and implementing organizational changes may lower the odds of nurses being injured [2].
• Moisturizers were supplied for the nursing personnel in 61% of the hospitals; most of these moisturizers were compatible with latex gloves and agents containing CHG [3].
• For ciprofloxacin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci, 30% of nursing personnel had positive cultures whereas no ciprofloxacin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci strains were recovered from the nonmedical control cohort [4].
• The colonization rate of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci on the hands of medical personnel was 59%, compared with 13% for the nonmedical personnel, and the counts of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci were also significantly higher for nursing personnel [4].
• Participants: Nursing personnel working in seven acute care medical wards in Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Interventions: From March to June 1991, participating nurses prepared blood culture specimens by means of both switch-needle and no-switch techniques in a cross-over study [5].

Biological context of Nurses

• OBJECTIVE: To determine the self-reported prevalence and severity of climacteric symptoms of estrogen deficiency in nursing personnel working in Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital during the year 2002 [6].

Associations of Nurses with chemical compounds

• Although Clinical Global Impressions of the investigators and the nursing personnel favored fluspirilene, the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant [7].
• PARTICIPANTS: Medicine housestaff/students and nursing personnel [8].
• We have instituted hospital-wide proficiency testing of nursing personnel who operate glucose-monitoring instruments [9].
• Symptoms of estrogen deficiency in nursing personnel in Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital [6].
• Because the second audit showed the need, we conducted education sessions with all nursing personnel on the affected units and posted guidelines for O2 use during transport [10].

Gene context of Nurses

• The focus was the use of untrained nursing personnel in Great Britain during the years 1914-1918 [11].
• Results of the Nursing Personnel Survey, Part 2: RN vacancies and turnover [12].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nurses

• We believe that nursing personnel should retain their patient care prerogative to perform glucose monitoring [13].
