    Abstract Research exploring differences in fatigue and sleep quality between day- and night-shift nurses highlights the urgent need for action to mitigate nurse fatigue. Nurses need to prioritize their sleep, and nurse leaders must take proactive measures such as providing education for all doing shiftwork, ensuring completion of job requirements during the shift, and creating a culture where nurses take their scheduled breaks.

    Abstract Background: Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) working in nursing homes are the primary licensed nurses providing care and ensuring patient safety in New Jersey. As such, it is important to understand LPNs' perception of patient safety culture (PSC) and job satisfaction, which may impact resident safety.
    Purpose: To describe the relationship between LPNs' perception of PSC in nursing homes and job satisfaction.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to survey LPNs in New Jersey.
    Results: LPNs working in nursing homes were less satisfied than LPNs working in other settings, and their perception of PSC was lower than that in 2019 national data report.
    Conclusion: LPNs in nursing homes indicated that PSC needs improvement. Now is an opportune time to implement initiatives to foster a culture of safety in nursing homes.

    Abstract Standard precautions are a recommended set of actions health care workers should take to prevent health care-associated infections and potentially infectious exposures. However, they are not reliably practiced, many opportunities are missed, and a substantial discrepancy between workers' stated performance and actual performance exists. This article presents findings from developing and testing standard precaution case scenarios to enhance nursing knowledge. Infusion nursing is high risk and entails highly complex care in dynamic settings. Challenges may exist when integrating this advanced care with fundamental standard precaution requirements. For this reason, findings from this study have implications for infusion nursing practice.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this review was to examine the available evidence on the experiences and perceptions of nurses working the night shift within any specialty in the acute care, subacute, or long-term care setting.
    Introduction: Nurses are required for around-the-clock patient care. Night shift nurses can experience detrimental effects because of their work hours, which disrupt their normal circadian rhythm. Understanding nurses' experiences and perceptions when working night shift will facilitate the development of strategies to minimize the potential negative effects of working at night. In examining nurses' experiences and perceptions of working night shift, there is scope to explore how to improve night shift nurses' practice environment and job satisfaction, which will then translate to improved nurse and patient outcomes.
    Inclusion criteria: This review included qualitative studies focused on the experiences and perceptions of registered nurses and licensed practical nurses who work the night shift or rotate between day and night shift.
    Methods: This review followed the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. The methodology used was consistent with the a priori protocol. Studies included in this review were those published in full text, English, and between 1983 (when the seminal work on hospitals that attract and retain nurses was published) and February 2021, when the search was completed. The main databases searched for published and unpublished studies included MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science.From the search, two reviewers independently screened the studies against the inclusion criteria, and then papers selected for inclusion were assessed for methodological quality. Qualitative data were extracted from the included papers independently by the four reviewers. Results from each reviewer were discussed and clarified to reach agreement. The extracted findings were pooled and examined for shared meaning, coded, and grouped into categories. Common categories were grouped into meta-synthesis to produce a comprehensive set of synthesized findings. The final synthesized findings were graded using the ConQual approach to determine the level of confidence (trust) users may have in the value of the synthesized findings.
    Results: Thirty-four papers, representing 33 studies, met the criteria for inclusion. The studies were conducted in 11 countries across six continents, with a total of 601 participants. From these, a total of 220 findings were extracted and combined to form 11 categories based on similarity in meaning, and three syntheses were derived: i) The "Other" Shift: the distinctiveness of night nursing; ii) Juggling sleep and all aspects of life when working nights; and iii) Existing in the Twilight Zone: battling the negative impact of sleep deprivation consumes nurses who strive to keep patients, self, and others safe.
    Conclusions: The major conclusions from this review are the uniqueness of working the night shift and the sleep deprivation of night nurses. Organizational strategies and support are needed for those working this shift, which will enhance nurse and patient safety.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic presented staffing challenges in providing care during the surge of critically ill patients. This qualitative descriptive study was conducted to obtain an understanding of clinical nurses' perspective of staffing in units during the first wave of the pandemic. Eighteen focus groups were conducted with registered nurses who worked on intensive care, telemetry, or medical-surgical units at 9 acute care hospitals. The focus group transcripts were thematically analyzed to identify codes and themes. The overarching theme was staffing, a bit of a mess, which sums up the general perception of nurses during the initial phase of the pandemic. The following additional themes underscore the overarching theme: challenging physical work environment; supplementing the frontline: buddies, helpers, runners, agency, and travel nurses; nurses do everything; getting through as a team; and emotional toll. Nurse leaders can utilize these findings to guide staffing decisions today and in the future, such as ensuring nurses are oriented to their deployed unit, keeping team members together when reassigned, and striving for consistency with staffing. Learning from the experience of clinical nurses who worked during this unprecedented time will assist in improving nurse and patient outcomes.

    Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses were faced with challenges when caring for patients, safely administering intravenous (IV) medications and solutions, and protecting themselves from the virus. To address these challenges, nurses moved infusion pumps outside of intensive care unit (ICU) rooms of patients with COVID-19 to minimize their exposure to the virus, conserve personal protective equipment, and efficiently administer IV medications and solutions. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore and describe nurses' perception of managing infusion pumps outside the ICU rooms of patients with COVID-19 at 6 acute care hospitals. Eight interviews were conducted with ICU nurse managers, assistant nurse managers, clinical nurses, and vascular access team staff. From the interviews, the overarching theme was "figure out a way," with the subtheme "no clear-cut policy." Additional themes were: (1) limiting nurses' exposure, (2) increased risk for infection and error, (3) teamwork, and (4) roller coaster of emotions. The findings from this study revealed that, during this unprecedented pandemic, nurses were innovative and figured out a way to care for patients who were critically ill with COVID-19. Understanding this experience provides insight into creating policies and procedures to guide patient care in future pandemics or emergency care.

    Abstract When the COVID-19 pandemic struck US hospitals in early 2020, many nurse leaders went into crisis mode management. As the pandemic ensued, shared governance endured at hospitals with well-established models, even without council meetings. At other hospitals, clinical nurses began to wonder what happened to shared governance. This article offers advice and lessons learned from the interplay between the COVID-19 pandemic and shared governance at American hospitals.
