June 2012 Highlights

Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and clinical managing editor Karen Roush present the highlights of the June issue of the American Journal of Nursing. This month offers two CE features: one (“Managing Menopause Symptoms”) the third installment in our series on women’s health, and the other describing von Willebrand Disease, a common bleeding disorder. There are also features on interdisciplinary team training, what to do if you come under investigation by a state board of nursing, a Safety Monitor column on negative pressure wound therapy, and an article from Australia describing one hospital’s reasons for and experience pursuing Magnet accreditation. And there are columns on Drug Watch, Journal Watch, Art of Nursing, Reflections, “In the News”, and more. You can listen to podcast interviews with authors of the Viewpoint on why teens shouldn’t need consent to receive the HPV vaccine and the piece on nursing boards
