There are several things I wanted to bring to your attention this morning:
Medscape has some good stuff this week:
- **An article from the July 2011 Nursing Economics about violence against nurses and its personal and professional toll;
- **Gail Horner’s article on evaluating child sexual abuse that is cited in this month’s Articles of Note, for those of you wanting full-text (with images);
- **A nurse’s primer on compassion fatigue from OJIN;
- **Screening for STIs, a CME offering for our physician colleagues.
Also, on NPR a couple days ago, Terri Gross had a fantastic interview with the director and one of the subjects of the new documentary, The Interrupters. The film looks at the work of “violence interrupters” who work with the anti-violence organization CeaseFire. I personally can’t wait to see it, and the interview does a nice job of painting a vivid picture of the realities of gun and gang violence. You can listen to the podcast here.
