JONA’s February issue highlights various aspects of nursing research, from the effectiveness of new grad residencies to the impact of nurse education on risk-adjusted nurse-sensitive indicators. We also delve into staff communication, specifically, between night shift RNs and hospitalists. The increased presence of hospitalists and the emerging dynamics of these new relationships are a challenge for nurse leaders.
