October 2015 Highlights - a podcast by Unknown

Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and Clinical Editor Betsy Todd present the highlights of the October issue of the American Journal of Nursing. This month’s cover celebrates AJN’s 115th anniversary with a collage showcasing archival photographs and past covers. Our first CE, “Integrative Care: The Evolving Landscape in American Hospitals,” provides an overview of some of the integrative care initiatives being introduced in hospitals throughout the U.S. and reports on findings from a survey of nursing leaders at hospitals that have implemented integrative care programs. Our second CE, “Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation,” gives an overview of the procedure, its possible complications, and best practices for nursing care. In “Intergenerational Lessons and ‘Fabulous Stories’,” Robert Wood Johnson Foundation senior adviser for nursing Susan B. Hassmiller, along with two nurse historians, shares five lessons learned from interviewing her mother, Jacqueline J. Wouwenberg, a 1947 graduate of the Bellevue Hospital School of Nursing, and being interviewed herself. “The NP: Celebrating 50 Years”—which includes an illustrated timeline from the Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing—highlights important events in the history of the NP and shows how the NP role has changed and expanded through the decades. Finally, “Pathfinding on the Frontier” describes the success of a patient care coordination program in a primary care practice in rural Kansas. In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
