May 2012 Highlights

Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and clinical managing editor Karen Roush present the highlights of the May issue of the American Journal of Nursing. This month offers two CE features: one an original research piece (“The Effects of Active Warming on Patient Temperature and Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty”), and the other a case study on posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. There are also features on maintaining competence in CPR, and two historical features – “Key Ideas in Nursing’s First Century” and a piece on the 50th anniversary of the coronary care unit, and 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 CPR piece (as well as a video from the American Heart Association) and nursing ideas.
