Dealing with psychological weight of economic uncertainty

“Alison Holman, health psychologist at the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing at UC Irvine gives insight on mental health, dealing with economic uncertainty and the current political climate. “One of the more important things people can do in situations like this to not get stuck feeling they’re alone in dealing with this. To be able to find and stay connected with family, friends and people who are there to support you. Getting support from your groups is a really important step to deal with this stress,” said Holman.”

‘Alarming paradox’: California needs thousands more nurses but lacks the capacity to train them

“As dean of the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing at UC Irvine, I witness an alarming paradox each year: Thousands of bright, motivated students apply to our undergraduate nursing program. Research shows that nurses who graduate with a bachelor of science degree receive more in-depth education in evidence-based practice, public health and leadership, leading to better patient outcomes, including lower mortality and fewer hospital-acquired infections. Yet only a handful can be admitted. … The capacity of these programs is constrained by funding.” (Mark Lazenby)
