Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy presents the highlights of the October issue of the American Journal of Nursing. The photo on our cover of a nurse and patient ambulating in the halls of Mount Sinai Hospital, highlights our CE article on how a mobility program on an acute care medical unit improved patient outcomes. Our second CE is about calciphylaxis – a case study of how excellent nursing care can change a patient’s life. Our clinical feature describes research into nursing interventions on hospitalized older adults with cognitive deficits. And we have a special feature about a pregnant patient with ovarian cancer, her philosophy about birth and death, and how nurses focused on what the patient needed. Our Disaster Care column focuses on lessons learned by visiting nurses through their response to Hurricane Sandy. In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
