Abstract: Although
research on this topic has just started, napping during night-shift is
beneficial to nurses' health and performance. Research should further explore
the long-term impact on of night-shift napping on nurses, people and
organization using sound methodological designs. Managers should actively
develop strategies to address night-shift napping barriers.

Abstract: The nursing profession needs to stay up to
date with the latest developments, continuing to update their skills and
competences to meet changing future population health needs effectively and
safely. However, the reality is that nurses are reporting difficulty accessing
and completing continuing professional development (CPD) in all settings. This
resource aims to provide RCN reps with the knowledge and resources you need to
help create a positive culture around CPD in the workplace.

Abstract:
Preceptorship is as a period of time whereby a newly qualified registrant is
supported and guided to make the transition from student to competent
practitioner. This study aimed to analyse the literature and answer whether
preceptorship for newly qualified midwives supports them to become competent
and confident practitioners. There is an evident lack of primary research into
newly qualified midwives, preceptorship, and gaining competence and confidence. More research is needed
to assess this.

Abstract: Infection prevention and control (IPC) has been my
passion for more than 20 years now, ever since I became fascinated by an
outbreak of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
within the intensive care unit at the hospital where I was a junior ward
sister. It sparked an interest in IPC and led me down a new career path, and I
am now a director of infection prevention and control (DIPC) in an NHS trust.
