This article presents information on various developments related to nursing in Great Britain and the U.S. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses has announced the establishment of the Stanley Johnson Memorial Award for Creativity in Critical Care Nursing. Psychiatric nurses smoke more than their colleagues in other parts of the British National Health Service, while community nurses smoke less. This is one of the findings from a research project backed by the Health Education Council and based in the Universities of Hull, Manchester and Surrey. The project is designed to discover how many nurses smoke and why, and to look at the part nurses can play in smoking education. Linda Thomas, previously a nursing officer in the Geriatric Unit, Guy's Hospital, London, has been appointed the new nurse adviser of the RCN Society of Geriatric Nursing. |
