This Month in AJN – June 2019 monthly highlights
June 2019
Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and clinical editor Betsy Todd present the highlights of the June issue of AJN. In our first CE, “Understanding the Complications of Sickle Cell Disease,” the authors discuss the genetic, hematologic, and clinical features of sickle cell disease, the major associated health complications, and the nursing implications of each complication. Our second CE, “Stoma and Peristomal Skin Care: A Clinical Review,” provides information about stomas and their complications for nurses who are not ostomy specialists. The authors of “Original Research: Exploring Working Relationships Between National and Expatriate RNs on Humanitarian Aid Missions: The Perspectives of Liberian Nurses,” describe a qualitative study that explored the perceptions and concerns of Liberian RNs who work for international nongovernmental organizations in Liberia. “Promoting Nurse Retention Through Career Development Planning,” the second article in a series on implementing evidence-based practice changes, discusses the implementation of a program to reduce first-year nurse turnover rates at an urban Chicago hospital. In addition, there’s News, Reflections, Drug Watch, Art of Nursing, and more.
