Get PDFNeonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) has been costly for the healthcare system; every 19 minutes, a newborn was diagnosed in 2021.

Colonial Modernity and the Image of the Gorkhaland Movement in Kiran Desai\u27s The Inheritance of Loss
Get PDFThis article examines some dynamics surrounding the Indian nation-state\u27s treatment of its minority populations, and how Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss seems to abet the postcolonial nation-state\u27s attempt to policing its own people.

The Effect of Magnet Hospitals on Nursing Burnout
Get PDFIntroduction:
The World Health Organization [2019] defined burnout as a syndrome caused by chronic job stressors that are not successfully managed, characterized by exhaustion, depersonalization, job detachment, and feelings of inadequacy (WHO, 2019). According to Murthy [2022], the nursing burnout crisis was underway before COVID-19. Nurse burnout recognized pre-COVID-19 was due to systemic organizational problems such as inadequate organizational support and underinvestment in public health (Murthy, 2022).
A 2022 survey of 2500 nurses exhibited increased rates of burnout during the pandemic, with 75% of respondents experiencing burnout, while 65% of those surveyed expressed their desire to leave the healthcare field (Johnson, 2022). Additional research demonstrated that nearly one-third of nurses surveyed claimed they would leave their jobs by the end of 2022, 44% of which cited burnout and high stress as the primary reason for leaving employment (Landi, 2022)
