Nurse practitioner (NP) students are often unaware of the difficulties they will face finding preceptors. Many graduate programs lack a network of preceptors, forcing students to reach out to anyone who will agree to precept. Nursing and other healthcare provider programs often compete for the same clinical sites and preceptors. In this article, we offer a comparison of clinical education models by provider and briefly discuss current concerns that impact NP students, such as opposition for practice autonomy and the COVID-19 pandemic, as they seek to complete the required clinical hours to graduate. Also included is general information about the NP preceptor, with a description of requirements and responsibilities of the role. Our discussion suggests several philosophical dilemmas of NP preceptorship, including pay for preceptors, and considers expectations for the future.

Inspection Of The Scene

The success of handprints examined by experts depends on many factors, the main of which is the receipt of dactyloscopic information by qualified detection, fixation and removal of handprints during the inspection of the scene. To do this, the future expert needs knowledge about the mechanism of papillary patterns, types of handprints, general rules for their detection, and so on. The fact is that the multicomponent nature of the fatty substance creates ample opportunities for the detection of handprints and provides many potential opportunities for chemical exposure. In addition, the substrate of the fatty substance has some physical properties that can be used in the process of visualization of traces.

BACKGROUND: This article summarizes the experiences that a Midwest college of nursing had when telepsychiatry was introduced for psychiatric-mental health post-master’s nurse practitioner students to use in a clinical internship. AIMS: Implications for nurse practitioner educators will be identified, and recommendations for future research will be explored. METHOD: Described are the following: (1) policies and procedures the institution considered, (2) challenges that were encountered by faculty and students, and (3) strategies and limitations of these strategies defining best practice, what didactic content should be taught, and how clinical placements needed to be structured. RESULTS: Implications for nurse practitioner educators, practice, and research are identified. CONCLUSIONS: It is clear that telepsychiatry has an important role in the clinical education of psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners. It is working well as a clinical internship option. The college of nursing is continuing to examine and address issues and is looking forward to enhancing the telepsychiatry experiences for students in the future.

Food Media

This article examines the future-oriented use of the culinary past in Poland’s food discourse through a qualitative analysis of popular food media (printed magazines and TV). We analyze how interpretations of food and culinary practices from the past are connected to contemporary debates. We contend that media representations of the culinary past co-create projects of Polish modernization in which diverse voices vie for hegemony by embracing different forms of engagement with the West and by imagining the future shape of the community. We distinguish between a pragmatic and a foodie type of culinary capital and focus on how they differently and at times paradoxically frame cultural memory and tradition. We observe the dynamics of collective memory and oblivion, and assess how interpretations of specific periods in Poland’s past are negotiated in the present through representations of material culture and practices revolving around food, generating not only contrasting evaluations of the past but also diverging economies of the future. Finally, we explore tradition as a set of present-day values, attitudes, and practices that are connected with the past, but respond to current concerns and visions of the future.

Kahn's article, "The Influence of Funding on the Future of Nurse Practitioner Programs" (p 106) presents the thesis that despite the effectiveness of and the need for nurse prcb actitioners, future programs are in jeopardy because funding sources are inadequate and, further, that the trend to prepare nurse practitioners at the master's level will discourage physician participation to the detriment of the program. I share some of Kahn's concerns on the former issue and challenge him on the latter. My response to Kahn's work, focusing first on the latter issue, offers information and opinion on historic, academic, and professional dimensions of the discussion; clarifies some misconceptions of the nurse practitioner movement and nursing education; and raises questions about the future.

We would like to comment on the article by Hockelman on well-baby care.1 Although conceptually in support of the role of the pediatric nurse practitioner in the future delivery of well-child supervision, we feel obligated to question the conclusion presented in the article. Hoekelman states that three visits to a PNP for well-child supervision are equivalent to six visits to a PNP and to three or six visits to a pediatrician, and a number of measures of effectiveness are presented to support his conclusion.

The Ideal

The labor market as a whole and specifically those areas where human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) professionals are employed are in constant flux. Academic institutions, on the other hand, tend to be more stable with changes in programs happening much more slowly. There is some evidence that the education of new HF/E professionals falls short of meeting the knowledge and skills that human factors professionals face when they enter the workplace. This panel is convened to discuss and debate two questions: (1) What would the “ideal” education look like for the future HF/E professional, and (2) what would be the best way to deliver this ideal education. Moreover, we hope that this panel will bring together educators and employers of future HF/E professionals and foster a lively and productive exchange of ideas on how to best supply the future workforce with the evolving industry needs. It should be noted, however, that these are very difficult questions and that the panel is by no means unanimous about answers to them. Whether the ideal solution might involve undergraduate programs dedicated to human factors, survey courses offered to many different majors, or revision of existing graduate programs in response to knowledge and skills expectations in the industry is open to debate. It is just such a debate we hope to engage in within this panel, and with the members of our audience at the 2016 HFES Annual Meeting.

A glimpse into the state of the practice of information technology at marine container ports is provided. First, network representation is used to characterize the information process that takes place at marine container terminals. These network representations were used as a framework to analyze a survey on the state of the practice of information technology. The survey targeted a selected group of U.S. container terminals, which provided information on current practices. The first section of the survey, General Information, gathered information about the general characteristics of the terminal. The second section, Internal Activities of the Container Terminal, gathered information about the performance of the most important internal activities. The third section, Interactions Among the Parties Involved, focused on the interactions that take place among the different agents associated with either importing or exporting containers. The fourth section, About the Future, gathered the respondents' perceptions about the future of information technology. The information gathered was used to characterize current practices and to assess the level of market penetration of advanced devices such as electronic tags.

Many academic institutions have benefited from new, expanded, renovated, or reconfigured facilities since the mid-1990s. Given current concerns about the future of the physical library and the nature of space needs, it is important to know what improvements have been made in recent facility projects and what impact these improvements have had on use of the physical library. Based on findings from a survey of 354 academic libraries, this article describes the types of projects undertaken and the kinds of improvements provided. A companion article describing the impact of these improvements on usage of the physical facility is in preparation.
