June 2018

Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and clinical editor Betsy Todd present the highlights of the June issue of AJN. The authors of our first CE, "Original Research: Understanding the Hospital Experience of Older Adults with Hearing Impairment," describe a qualitative study they conducted to assess the hospital experience of hearing-impaired patients in order to formulate suggestions for improving nursing care. Our second CE, "Understanding the Nurse’s Role in Managing Gaucher Disease," discusses the epidemiology and pathophysiology of Gaucher disease as well as recent advances in screening, diagnosis, and management. Our next article, "Cultivating Quality: The Benefits of Implementing an Early Mobility Protocol in Postoperative Neurosurgical Spine Patients," presents a quality improvement initiative to establish an NP-led early mobility protocol aimed at reducing uncomplicated postsurgical spine patients’ length of hospital stay and eliminating the variability of postsurgical care. "Transition to Practice: Getting and Giving Report" outlines strategies new nurses can use and specific steps they can take to master successful handoff. In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
