To analyze nursing law violations, the actions and decisions of boards of nursing, and evaluate trends in negligent and unsafe nursing practice, the authors reviewed nursing law violations as well as rates of recidivism among nurses who received actions against their nursing licenses in Kentucky. The authors discuss how their findings can assist nurse administrators in investigating nurse care givers before employment and in initiating safeguards against nurse violations that affect client safety.

Across its 10 clinics, the GSNC helps to improve access to health care for people of all ages. The purpose of this article is to (1) describe the services and goals of the GSNC, a Commonwealth Collaborative; (2) discuss selected outputs/outcomes from the GSNC clinics; and (3) propose recommendations for research related to the outcomes of this nurse-managed center.

There has been limited discussion in the nursing literature about the concept of global health diplomacy or the role of nurses in such initiatives. A discussion of this concept is presented here by the members of a Task Force on Global Health Diplomacy of the American Academy of Nursing Expert Panel on Global Nursing and Health (AAN EPGNH). The purpose of this article is to present an integrative review of literature on the concept of global health diplomacy and to identify implications of this emerging field for nursing education, practice, and research. The steps proposed by Whittemore and Knafl (2005) were adapted and applied to the integrative review of theoretical and descriptive articles about the concept of global health diplomacy. This review included an analysis of the historical background, definition, and challenges of global health diplomacy and suggestions about the preparation of global health diplomats. The article concludes with a discussion of implications for nursing practice, education, and research. The Task Force endorses the definition of global health diplomacy proposed by Adams, Novotny, and Leslie (2008) but recommends that further dialogue and research is necessary to identify opportunities and educational requirements for nurses to contribute to the emerging field of global health diplomacy.

These primary care services remain somewhat invisible in the policy and reimbursement areas of the American primary care system and, consequently, are undersupported. The purpose of this article is to describe client and service data from a national study of ANMCs. A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data from ANMC directors. Usable data were received from 64 centers. ANMCs in the sample were relatively small in terms of patients and volume. Client and service profiles demonstrated variation, which seemed to be reflective of needs relative to populations and communities served. Nearly half of the ANMCs responding served clients of all ages, with services representing the breadth of primary care (i.e., health maintenance and management of minor acute and common chronic illnesses). Evidence of community-focused care was also noted. The reported use of standardized nursing language was low. Standardized medical taxonomies were more commonly used, with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision being the most common. ANMCs provide a small but substantial amount of primary care services in communities served. Findings indicated a need for ANMCs to improve the documentation of their contributions through the use of standardized taxonomies to provide aggregated reporting for policy and research purposes.

The research foci related to community health nursing were compared with previously identified research priorities in the field. Surveys were sent to 52 doctoral program directors; 23 questionnaires were completed. Telephone interviews were conducted with 16 program directors to clarify responses. Newer programs tended to be more generally focused and without doctoral specialty courses of any kind. The four programs that identified community health nursing as a specialty within their curriculum were some of the oldest and largest programs in the country.

Yet, limited information about numbers of ANMCs and the schools sponsoring them is available. This paper presents an update on schools of nursing (SONs) operating ANMCs. A survey was sent to 683 deans and directors of baccalaureate and higher-degree SONs, with 565 responding (response rate: 83%). Ninety-two SONs indicated they had one or more ANMCs. The largest percentage of the SONs with ANMCs were classified as doctoral/research-intensive or extensive universities, a proportion much higher than the national percent of SONs in this category. Schools of Nursing were financially supporting centers at a lower percentage of actual costs than was reported in earlier studies, although grants continue to be a major source of funding. Academic nurse-managed centers are likely to be supported by SONs with substantial research, practice, faculty, and student resources. Overall, the national number of ANMCs seems stationary over the past two decades.
