May 2013 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. Our cover photo comes from an award-winning 2005 Boston Globe series that included an article about the progress of a nursing student in Mass General’s eight-month ICU program. Our first CE is an article on hemodynamic indicators and their use for fluid resuscitation in critically ill patients. The second CE is an original research from Brazil on telephone follow- up for patients after myocardial revascularization – a systematic review. And of course, there are other features, an Ethical Issues column on limited staffing and delayed response to patients, article on nurses giving back to the community during National Nurses Week, News, AJN Reports, Viewpoint, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, Reflections, and more.
