Nursing law violations. A threat to competent and safe nursing practice.

Nurse Practice Act violations pose threats to consumers of nursing services and lead to disciplinary actions against nurses by boards of nursing. To analyze nursing law violations, the actions and decisions of boards of nursing, and evaluate trends in negligent and unsafe nursing practice, the authors reviewed nursing law violations as well as rates of recidivism among nurses who received actions against their nursing licenses in Kentucky. The authors discuss how their findings can assist nurse administrators in investigating nurse care givers before employment and in initiating safeguards against nurse violations that affect client safety.

Nursing home patients: liaison nurse visits influence recidivism.

1. Nursing home residents who were visited at least once every 60 days by VA nurses (who were master's prepared and had experience in gerontological nursing) had fewer emergency room visits and hospital readmissions than those who were not visited. 2. The establishment of a good rapport between the liaison nurses and the nursing home staff was essential in initiating nursing interventions. 3. The recommendations most often made by the liaison nurses to the nursing home staff were for collaborative actions with other disciplines.

A health promotion practicum targeting the college-age population.

Senior and sophomore baccalaureate nursing students at the University of Kentucky developed a health promotion exposition that targeted college students. This experience gave senior students the opportunity to practice leadership and management skills, such as planning, organizing, collaborating, delegating, evaluating, and time management and conflict resolution. Sophomore students developed teaching abilities, practiced assessment and communication techniques, and increased their knowledge of health-promoting behaviors. Both groups experienced team building and demonstrated accountability. Students reported a positive learning experience that met various course objectives in an innovative way.
