Time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly review of what’s new and noteworthy in the peer-reviewed literature. This is a particularly good list–there’s just so much that’s interesting in the journals right now. As always, email me if you want the word doc.

When I was in Kansas City last week one of my sessions was geared toward emerging issues in forensic healthcare. I was asked to speak on the topic, and while I understand that the request was geared more towards a “specific populations and circumstances” kind of talk, I decided to take it in a slightly [...]

As a bonus–free nursing CEs upon completion of each module. If you’re not sure how to use the new interactive site PreventConnect has [...]

A quick post to wish everyone a happy Nurses Day (in the US, or International Nurses Day, which is Sunday–you pick).
