STD Prevention Conference
June 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment
The CDC has made available audio recordings from this spring’s National STD Prevention Conference. Seeing as how STDs are ALWAYS popular on this site, I thought I’d post this. There’s some interesting stuff coming down the pike, and by the looks of the lineup at the conference, several issues were covered specifically, including new surveillance [...]

Articles of Note: May/June Edition
June 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Time for May and June’s Articles of Note {so sorry to have not gotten one done last month!}. All of these are from the late April/May/June issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed [...]

Time for April’s Articles of Note. All of these are from the late March/April/May issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals.

Articles of Note: March Edition
March 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment
I cannot believe it’s already mid-March and I am *just* getting to this post. Between CCAW in Dallas (fantastic and more than 700 attendees) and a court martial that had me sequestered without internet, last week was a wash in terms of getting much done. Finally, though, it’s time for March’s Articles of Note. All [...]

20 Free CMEs/CEUs
February 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment
In my continuing quest to provide better access to free CME/CEUs for FHO readers, I decided to trawl through Medscape tonight and round up 20 offerings that can be completed quickly and easily. A couple caveats, though: 1.) not all of them are for RNs–physician and midlevel only CEs are marked accordingly; 2.) these things [...]

Free Online Forensic Nursing CEUs
January 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment
I had an email yesterday about finding CEUs for forensic nurses, which made me think that it’s probably a good time to remind people about the free CEUs available online from IAFN. If you haven’t yet checked them, I encourage you to do so, because, did I mention they’re free (unless you’re not a member, [...]

Health Care Guidelines for Sexual Assault Patients
January 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment
I love when things like this show up in my in-box (thanks, Kim!). Virginia has released a new document for healthcare providers: Virginia’s Healthcare Response to Sexual Assault Guidelines for the Acute Care of Adult and Post-Pubertal Adolescent Sexual Assault Patients. I am slowly (sloooowly) working my way through this document, but I am heartened to [...]
