Improving nurse staffing levels in line with pending legislation in the US state of New York would likely save lives and prevent unnecessary costs, a new study has shown.
Researchers at the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research (CHOPR) at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing warned that wide variation in patient-to-nurse ratios in the state was contributing to thousands of avoidable deaths.
“Results show that improving nurse staffing could substantially reduce deaths and save money that could go to funding improved staffing.”

PHILADELPHIA (March 9, 20201) - The PhD degree prepares nurse scientists to advance knowledge through research that improves health, translates into policy, and enhances education. However, as the role of the nurse has changed, and health care has grown more complex, there is a need to re-envision how PhD programs can attract, retain, and create the nurse-scientists of the future and improve patient care.

It showed that medical mistrust, social concern, and race were significantly associated with decreased COVID?19 vaccine acceptance by SGM participants. Results have been published in the article COVID?19 Vaccine Acceptance Among an Online Sample of Sexual and Gender Minority Men and Transgender Women in
