    Autonomy and the patient’s right to choose falls prevention
    自主性及患者选择摔倒预防的权利

When admitted to the hospital or long-term care facility, patients usually commit to calling for help before getting up; however, their actions may not be consistent with their promise. They make make the choice not to call for help or wait for a staff member for help. Does this scenario sound familiar?
     
    Inside ANA
    New, curated resource of RN workforce data: ANA Nurses by the Numbers
    RN工作场所资料的新设计源:2016版ANA Nurses by the Numbers
    The 2016 edition of ANA’s Nurses by the Numbers™ is the first of a new series from the American Nurses Association (ANA) that pulls together data from federal sources with respect to RNs and APRNs. As it happens, many of the services provided by RNs and APRNs remain uncounted, diminishing nurses’ visibility. Further, where current RN/APRN counts do exist, they are scattered across various websites, collected using a variety of definitions, and tabulated over different time frames. This volume is intended as an initial step in bringing contemporary economic information regarding nurses into a single site to make the information more easily accessible to RNs and APRNs.

    This scenario describes many millennial nurses in practice settings today—eager to move up the career ladder and pursuing the advanced education that’s needed to do so. But like Christina, they may encounter resistance on their way up.
