Nurse practitioner transition to practice in CHCF Blog

"Clinical Professor Susanne Phillips spoke to Heather Stringer at the California Health Care Foundation blog about AB890, which is a pathway for nurse practitioners to practice independently. The change has the potential to increase access to healthcare for the state’s residents, but Phillips says there is still regulatory work to be done to ensure that patients can fully benefit."

Nurse morale in The Washington Post

"Associate Professor Candace Burton was interviewed by The Washington Post about her research into the nature and consequence of moral injury among frontline nurses during COVID-19. As a profession, we work hard, we do things that we say normal people would never be doing,” said study author Candace Burton, a UCI assistant professor in the school of nursing. “But this has been beyond anything anyone could have anticipated. The lack of resources, the constant strain and stress and needing to be on and present and going at 110 percent at all times has just been exhausting." (Candace Burton )

Melissa Pinto discusses long COVID

"Melissa Pinto, a co-author of the latter study and associate professor in the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing at University of California Irvine, says the researchers examined healthcare records of people who tested positive for COVID-19 but hadn’t reported symptoms at the time of infection—only to come in later with symptoms associated with long COVID-19. To ensure they were identifying long-haulers, the researchers screened out anyone with a preexisting illness that could explain their later symptoms." (Melissa Pinto)
