A new study led by investigators at Cleveland Clinic calls into question the accuracy of serum creatinine when estimating kidney function of individuals who are nonweight-bearing. Findings from the study suggest creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations alone may be inaccurate, and cystatin C or combined eGFR equations may be a more accurate assessment of kidney function in this patient population.

“Patient in room 709 didn’t sleep all night and thinks his call light is to get the cops to come and arrest us,” said the night shift nurse as she packed her things. How can nursing be so predictable and unpredictable at the same time? As soon as I walked into his room and tried to introduce myself, he exclaimed, “Oh great, another woman; if they really think they can keep me here, they should at least bring a man to do the job!

It’s stating the obvious that nurses are very busy, but it’s worth considering the impact of that busyness on authors who want to have their published articles read. The primary impact from an author’s perspective is that you have to compete with many factors—both personal (such as driving the carpool) and professional (such as chronic short staffing)—to gain readers’ attention.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace.

Pat Hamilton, an Iowa School Superintendent, is choosing to reduce school nursing hours in order to “emphasize what our top priority needs to be, which is teaching and learning.” I listened to the circular conversation several times and could not help but feel that the disconnect between health and learning is the crux of the problem that stands, like a huge brick wall between school health services and educational services.
