The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted nurses' well-being and the transition of new nurses into the workplace. The National Academy of Medicine and American Nurses Foundation has announced the need to prioritize well-being research.

This paper focuses on the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the nursing workforce, examining both the opportunities presented by AI in relieving nurses of routine tasks and enabling better patient care, and the potential challenges it poses. The discussion highlights the freeing of nurses' time from administrative duties, allowing for more patient interaction and professional development, while also acknowledging concerns about job displacement. Ethically integrating AI into patient care and the need for nurses' proactive engagement with AI-including involvement in its development and integration in nursing education-are emphasized. Finally, the paper asserts the necessity for nurses to become active participants in AI's evolution within health care to ensure the enhancement of patient care and the advancement of nursing roles.

In the wake of Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization, many nursing organizations asserted that "abortion is health care" and access to it must be protected. Such a phrase makes clear claims about the meanings of "health" and "care." How one defines these terms gives decisive direction to how a nurse must practice regarding not just elective abortion but also myriad interventions that divide bioethicists, including gender affirmative care, cosmetic surgery, and euthanasia. We consider the issue of elective abortion to illustrate the nature of disputes about the scope and limits of professional nursing. We describe two competing intuitions about the nature of health care namely that health care is either for (a) health, objectively defined or (b) well-being, patient defined. We discuss how these intuitions lead to different understandings of the intelligibility of the phrase "abortion is health care" and the implications for ethical discourse within professional nursing.

When people must flee their homes due to persecution or conflict, they embark on a journey from loss toward safety that is a global concern and the resettlement country's responsibility. Refugees experience stressors as they secure basic needs such as adequate nutrition, healthcare, transportation, housing, education, and income-generating activities. For refugee women, these stressors are further exacerbated by gender-related roles and experiences. Addressing the unique healthcare needs of refugee women is vital to their well-being as they resettle into life in the United States. Access to care that is provided with cultural humility and fosters trust is critical. Policies are needed that expand health literacy programs and interpreting services, grow, diversify, and train the physical healthcare workforce, grow and diversify the mental healthcare workforce, expand Medicaid coverage in all 50 states, develop and fund peer-to-peer education programs for refugee women, finance access to care and programmatic services, and expand federal funding toward refugee health research.

The National Academies, National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (NAASP), and National Strategy for Suicide Prevention disseminated recommendations for improving the quality, scope, usefulness, timeliness, and accessibility of mortality data and are working to advance research in this area. Further, the NAASP issued recommendations for developing standard definitions, use of common data elements, and processes for connecting data elements with similar measures. The NAASP additionally reinforced the importance of linking data sources.

This paper evaluates an innovative student-led nursing leadership symposium at a Southern California university, specifically designed to bridge educational and practical leadership gaps in nursing with a focus on students from underrepresented groups. Integrating Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies, the symposium encouraged active participation, self-reflection, and teamwork. It featured interactive panel discussions with nurse leaders and collaborative learning opportunities aimed at developing leadership knowledge, skills, and action. Participant feedback underscored significant personal and professional growth, particularly in communication, delegation, and collaboration skills. This initiative contributes significantly to the discourse on diversifying nursing leadership and provides a replicable model for leadership development in nursing education programs, emphasizing the symposium's pivotal role in enhancing inclusivity and equipping future nurse leaders from diverse backgrounds.

The underrepresentation of Black men in nursing continues to pose a significant challenge to diversity and equity in healthcare leadership. While systemic barriers, such as implicit bias, limited access to advanced education, and lack of mentorship, have been well-documented, there is little literature that highlights the specific journeys of Black male nurse leaders and the strategies that facilitated their success. This oral history presents the narratives of five Black male nurse leaders who overcame obstacles and rose to influential positions within nursing. Through their personal accounts, this paper offers insights into the intersection of race, gender, and professional advancement in nursing. These stories emphasize the importance of mentorship, community support, and resilience in navigating both overt and subtle forms of discrimination. By reflecting on their unique experiences, the paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on diversity in nursing leadership and provide inspiration to future generations of minority nurses.

Organizational change within nursing schools that supports growth of students, faculty, and staff from underrepresented groups occurs through purposeful strategies and commitments to building capacity for the spectra and richness of diverse perspectives.

The global shortage of nurses has increased the migration of internationally educated nurses (IENs) to the Nordic region, necessitating policies for their migration and workplace integration.

Research-focused faculty face barriers to research engagement and success. Definitions of research success vary among organizations, research teams, and individuals. An institution must identify barriers before implementing mitigation strategies.

The knowledge and practice in the field of peacebuilding is congruent with nursing and offers important dimensions and insight that can strengthen the work of nurses in building healthy communities and individuals.

Nursing labor organization is consequential to many stakeholders, but collective evidence for outcomes associated with nurse unionization is lacking.

This letter to the editor responds to Godfrey et al.'s study on meaningful recognition (MR) programs in nursing colleges. While the study did not demonstrate significant changes in faculty burnout metrics, it revealed stable levels of compassion satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic. This stability, coupled with alarmingly high burnout rates reported in other studies, suggests that MR programs may have a protective effect worth investigating further. The letter proposes future research directions, including longer-term studies and qualitative methods, to better understand the nuanced impact of MR programs on nursing faculty well-being and retention.

Many nurses report feeling underprepared and insecure about the mandated reporting of concern for child maltreatment, which is further compounded by parental disability.

Nursing students require education on effective communication with patients to fulfill their roles as future healthcare providers. Ensuring inclusive patient care requires addressing this educational gap.

Diversity considerations in hiring faculty in higher education have garnered significant attention globally in recent years. However, analyses of faculty recruitment dynamics outside the United States, particularly in schools and colleges of nursing, have been limited.

It is not currently known how often nursing theory is cited in non-nursing publications.
