This paper summarizes recent scientific evidence of environmental and occupational links to nearly 30 types of cancer. It includes a critique of the 25 year-old analysis by Doll and Peto and subsequent analyses that attribute an extremely small fraction of cancer deaths to involuntary environmental and occupational exposures. The paper presents the state of the [...]

The so-called “southern resident” killer whales are found primarily in the inshore waters around southern Vancouver Island and in northwestern Washington in the summer and fall months. The diet of individuals in this population is poorly known. Unlike the sympatric population of so-called “transient” killer whales (see Baird and Dill 1995), documented observations of predatory [...]

Program Objectives:
At the completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
1. Assume accountability for clinical outcomes and care environment outcomes within a micro system of health care.
2. Anticipate risks to patient safety and intervene appropriately.
3. Use research-based information to provide care and to design and implement system changes.
4. Provide leadership in lateral integration of [...]

In 2004, the Health Services and Resources Administration (HRSA) issued a Request for Proposals for a two-year research project to gather information and insights in support of the development of a new methodology for identifying health care facilities and communities with critical shortages of registered nurses (RNs). HRSA’s decision to support this research was based [...]

This report arose from a European Commission ERA-CARE Network project funded for one year from October 2004, within the European Union’s 6th Framework Programme. It maps the current state of nursing research in Europe.
Chapter 1 gives an overview of nursing research, offering a broad definition of the term and explaining how developing nursing research can [...]

The Health Services and Resources Administration (HRSA) issued a Request for Proposals for a two-year research project to gather information and insights in support of the development of a new methodology for identifying health care facilities and communities with critical shortages of registered nurses (RNs). HRSA’s decision to support this research was based in large [...]

Doctoral programs in nursing fall into two principal types: research-focused and practicefocused. Most research-focused programs grant the Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD), while a small percentage offers the Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNS, DSN, or DNSc). Designed to prepare nurse scientists and scholars, these programs focus heavily on scientific content and research methodology; and [...]
