Ajn The American Journal Of Nursing - Behind The Article

Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and Clinical Managing Editor Karen Roush present the highlights of the November issue of the American Journal of Nursing. A nursing student appears on this month’s cover tying in with our original research piece on newly licensed RNs. Our first CE this month is an emergency article on IV access with an accompanying video. The second CE discusses a pilot study on assessing patients for dysemia. An Emerging Infections article explains Coccidioidomycosis or “valley fever.” AJN Reports and Safety Monitor this month both explore obesity-related topics including the political implications of obesity as a “disease,” and equipment concerns when caring for obese patients. In addition, our issue includes News, In Our Community, Reflections, Viewpoint, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
