April 2010 Highlights

Editorial director and interim editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and clinical editor Christine Moffa present the highlights of the April issue of the American Journal of Nursing. Of special note: the cover of a Canadian Red Cross nurse treating a Haitian child is part of a special photo essay of coverage of nurses participation in disaster relief following the earthquake in Haiti. There are two CE features including a systematic review on nursing handoffs and the effects of culture on pain, an installment in our series on expanding nursing education capacity funded by the Center to Champion Nursing in America (CCNA) at AARP; plus news, Reflections, Emergency and more. There’s also two podcasts: on with Lee Ann Riesenberg, author of the article on systematic handoffs and the other with Eugenia Miller, a nurse who volunteered in a disaster mission to Haiti.
