Preparing for future nursing demand.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

As patient care shifts from the hospital to community settings, the demand for nurses is also changing. Hospitals, long-term care agencies, and ambulatory settings need to identify their future need for nurses and work with schools of nursing to help prepare or retrain nurses for the jobs of the future. This article describes a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation project, administered by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, to help nursing schools, hospitals, and other employers meet current and future nursing workforce needs in their regions. Organizations involved in employing or training nurses along with hospital associations, boards of nursing, and health education providers can apply for funding as regional nursing workforce consortia.

Tumor and target delineation: current research and future challenges.

In the past decade, significant progress has been made in the imaging of tumors, three dimensional (3D) treatment planning, and radiation treatment delivery. At this time one of the greatest challenges for conformal radiation therapy is the accurate delineation of tumor and target volumes. The physician encounters many uncertainties in the process of defining both tumor and target. The sources of these uncertainties are discussed, as well as the issues requiring study to reduce these uncertainties.

Native healing traditions must be protected and preserved for future generations.

Toronto physician Mel Borins, who has travelled extensively to developing countries to examine traditional healing practices, recently visited elders at an Ontario Indian reserve to learn more about native healing practices. He is concerned that much native knowledge about the use of herbs and plants for healing will be lost and steps should be taken to protect it. He is also worried about the possible extinction of useful medicinal plants as civilization encroaches on remote areas.
