One of the best ways to contribute to multidisciplinary research and to improve your own knowledge of the review process at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to serve as a peer reviewer for research, traineeship, and small business innovation research proposals. Proactive targeted outreach to Scientific Review Officers (SROs) at NIH will increase your chances to become a reviewer. Reviewers with nursing expertise are especially welcome as multidisciplinary research is becoming more prevalent. Steps to identify a likely study section, contact the correct SRO, and review responsibly are described in this article, written by an experienced NIH review officer.

The student nurse must be shaped into a true professional practitioner. This is a continuous process which has its roots in the person’s experiences which led her to join the nursing profession. Professionalization of the student nurse includes three essential elements. The first important aspect is that she must attain professional nursing expertise as this is a prerequisite of professional status. This includes a strong knowledge base and vocational proficiency. Secondly, she must develop into a good leader. Leadership can be nurtured by requiring independent work through group discussions and by allowing students to manage and control their own affairs in the nurses’ residence. Finally the professional nurse should have a well-rounded personality characterised by integration, an own identity and self-discipline. Here nursing role models are very important and the student should be provided with opportunities to share her opinions and to use her own initiative.

A growing number of families with children are dealing with a new diagnosis of chronic illnesses or health problems that are demanding. Nurses are in a prime position to provide support and empowerment to these families. The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits of two sessions of a Family Strengths Oriented Therapeutic Conversation (FAM-SOTC) intervention, offered by advanced practice nurses (APNs) to mothers ( N = 31) of children and adolescents in Iceland with newly diagnosed chronic illnesses/disorders. Families of children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), epilepsy, Type 1 diabetes (T1DM), or with sleep disturbance with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), reported significantly higher family support, greater conviction about their illness beliefs, increased quality of life, and greater satisfaction with health care services after receiving two sessions of the FAM-SOTC intervention (Time 2) compared to before the intervention (Time 1). The findings emphasize the importance of the APN’s role and family nursing expertise in supporting families of children with a new diagnosis of chronic illnesses or disorders who are in active treatment.
