How one chapter successfully created a nursing research committee.

Abstract

Establishing a chapter nursing research committee can be a difficult task. Many perioperative nurses have not been exposed to research in their basic nursing programs or received graduate preparation in nursing research. This lack of exposure may result in disinterest in nursing research topics. This article explains how AORN of Pittsburgh established a successful nursing research committee. The committee's process of development and its achievements can be used as a guide for other local chapters that may be struggling with similar issues.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
