For several years, John Snelgrove began his workweek with a lengthy fax from the local police, listing the home addresses where officers had answered domestic violence calls over the weekend.
Snelgrove, head of guidance services for Brockton (Mass.) Public Schools, would check those addresses against the district’s student database. When a match came up, he’d alert the counselor at that child’s school, who, in turn, would take a red envelope and deliver it to the child’s teacher. Inside was a slip of paper with a student’s name and a quick prescription for “TLC.”

Nurses are highly respected professionals — the annual Gallup poll has demonstrated this time and again. Since we nurses may not always be able or willing to verbalize our own importance and value, it is crucial for us to find ways to empower ourselves to own our expertise and acknowledge our central role within the healthcare industry. Nurses are indeed legion. Some will say we are the very backbone, lifeblood or mitochondria of healthcare.

Dr. James Gill walked through the morgue in Farmington, Conn., recently, past the dock where the bodies come in, past the tissue donations area, and stopped outside the autopsy room.
"We kind of have a typical board listing all of the decedents for the day," Gill said, pointing to the list of names on a dry-erase board. "Overdose, overdose, overdose, overdose, overdose. That's just for today."

From the moment Regina Mason, MSN, RN, GNP-BC, started nursing school, she knew she wanted to work with the elderly.
“The impetus for my career in nursing was assisting my family in caring for my godmother, who had Alzheimer’s disease,” Mason said. “She was 91 years old when she died in her home while receiving hospice care. The experience changed my life in that I was no longer afraid of the dying process, but realized I could help others have a peaceful death with their loved ones by their side.”

The Justice Department proposed the first department-wide standards for forensic expert testimony, responding to findings in 2015 that nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit had overstated testimony in criminal trials for decades.
The draft uniform language for court testimony and reports is based on written guidance developed by the FBI for about 20 techniques, and it would apply to all department personnel, including those with the bureau, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, officials said in an announcement.

Georgetown University researchers say that a nursing shortage, a constant point of contention for at least the last decade, will see a lack of more than 190,000 nurses in less than four years. They predict that the shortage will be a result of several factors, including an aging population, the number of nurses who are nearing retirement and a shortage of nursing faculty to train new nurses. Here's why this is important.

In 2011, the National Institute of Justice funded the Houston Police Department to form a
multidisciplinary team to study the problem of sexual assault kits (SAK) that were collected but
never submitted to a crime lab for screening and testing. The Houston
Action-Research Project
sought to understand the factors that produced the volume of unsubmitted SAKs, the way
forensic evidence is used during criminal investigations and prosecutions
of sexual assaults, and
what stakeholders should expect
when large numbers of previously unsubmitted SAKs get
tested.
