Recruiting experienced RNs into critical care is a valuable goal. In this article, the authors describe a senior year critical care nursing elective for registered nurse students in a BSN completion program entirely developed and presented by nursing service personnel. This program increases the exposure of RNs to critical care as a specialty which they might want to continue after graduation.

Nurse burnout: what can we learn?

A review of the literature has uncovered some initial research on the possible causes and manifestations of burnout among nurses and other helping professionals. Essential causal factors have not yet been identified. However, burnout appears to result from the interaction of personal and structural components, and the significance of each component varies greatly. There is a need for more systematic information about the natural history of burnout in specific work situations. Nurse administrators are urged to be alert for sings of burnout among their nursing personnel, to encourage systematic research that will provide objective evidence of the problem, and, especially, to be creative and daring in their efforts to combat the problem.

[Accreditation of the professional competence of intensive care unit nurses and their education].

The healthcare system must be driven by the needs of patients and their families. Keeping in mind the current nursing education system in the United States, the AACN Certification Corporation has designed a new model to refocus patient care activities so they can be defined according to the needs of patients and families wherever they may be. This model also addresses the credentialing of nurses with specialized knowledge and skills and may be adaptable as the conceptual framework for a national nursing specialty credentialing system in other countries.
