Article Abstract
Background: Nurses are concerned for their safety and conflicted about their career, because their duty to care for patients during the pandemic involved competing ethical obligations, including their own personal safety.
Purpose: The aim was to explore the impact of COVID-19 on new nurses and nursing students in terms of safety and interest in nursing specifically related to self-efficacy, geographic region case density, and frontline experience in health care.
Methods: New nurses and nursing students (N = 472) responded to an online survey examining self-efficacy, sense of safety, and interest in nursing. The survey included an open-ended question to support response interpretation.
Results: Researchers identified significant differences among new nurses and students from contrasting case-dense regions in terms of safety and interest in nursing.
Conclusion: Concerns about personal safety and the safety of others were apparent. Over time, this may lead to a decrease in willingness to enter or remain in the nursing profession.

A Comparison of Synthetic Osmotic Dilators and Pharmacologic Agents for Cervical Ripening in Induction of Labor: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

College of Nursing, Research Institute of Nursing Innovation, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, South Korea.
Introduction: Given the rising number of studies on synthetic osmotic dilators, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews for their use compared with other commonly used cervical ripening methods. This study aimed to examine the maternal and neonatal safety and efficacy in cervical ripening and labor induction using synthetic osmotic dilators compared with pharmacologic agents (prostaglandin E, prostaglandin E, oxytocin) for labor induction.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies was conducted, using MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases search.
Applying High-reliability Principles to Infusion Pump Safety: A Case Study at a Multisite Health System.
J Patient Saf
September 2025
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Rochester, MN.
Objectives: A framework of high-reliability principles was used to identify, investigate, and mitigate infusion pump safety concerns at a large, multisite health care system. We developed a systematic approach to address challenges associated with overinfusions, underinfusions, and the inability to clear upstream occlusion alarms. We identified 112,875 upstream occlusion events for 389,604 infusion starts (failure rate, 29%) within 6 months.

Background: Low-value care provides little or no benefit to patients, or its risk of harm outweighs the potential benefits. Non-nursing tasks refer to tasks performed by nurses below their scope of practice. With increasing pressure on the global nursing workforce, it is necessary to identify these concepts to deliver fundamental care.
