  • Enhancing the Professional Work Environment Through Nursing Engagement in an Academic Medical Center. [Journal Article]
    Am J Nurs. 2026 Jul 01; 126(7):58-63.Spano-Szekely L, Bass B, … Zavotsky KEAJ
  • CONCLUSIONS: Transitioning from shared governance to professional shared governance within an academic medical center is a complex, iterative, and developmental process that advances over time. Effective professional shared governance structures require intentional design, sustained leadership commitment, and active nurse participation at every level of the organization. To ensure these structures remain meaningful and high performing, they must be continuously evaluated, refined, and adapted to reflect contemporary practice, emerging priorities, and the evolving needs of nurses, patients, and the health system. By leveraging data-driven insights, incorporating innovative strategies, and maintaining a culture of shared accountability and collaboration, professional shared governance can remain agile, forward-thinking, and a powerful driver of nursing excellence and organizational outcomes.

  • Code Prep Choreography: Navigating the Urgent Interval. [Journal Article]
    Am J Nurs. 2026 Jul 01; 126(7):43-49.Tschannen D, Briggs AJ, … Bathish MAJ
  • CONCLUSIONS: The CPC-UI training allowed nurses to practice critical skills needed in the first few minutes of a patient arrest. This training may be especially important in non-critical care areas where nurses typically have less frequent exposure to patient arrest situations and consequently stand to benefit most from structured preparation. Overall, the CPC-UI training presents a valuable model for enhancing nurse preparedness in resuscitation scenarios, warranting broader implementation and ongoing evaluation.

    Am J Nurs. 2026 Jul 01; 126(7):22-32.Weaver S, Harvey J, … Paliwal MAJ
  • CONCLUSIONS: The results support findings from prior research and underscore the persistent challenges night shift nurses face. While these challenges are well documented, changes to address them have been limited. Health care organizations must move beyond acknowledging the issues to implementing evidence-based interventions and structured programs. Addressing the concerns of night shift nurses is imperative and necessary to safeguard nurses' health and well-being; reduce turnover; and ensure safer, high-quality patient care.
