Abstract: The purpose of this study was to understand nurses' perceptions and experiences regarding Quality of Life (QOL) of adolescents with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). Interpretive, hermeneutic, phenomenology was used to explore the perceptions and experiences of nurses who care for adolescents with complex CHD. The participants included 6 female registered nurses with experience taking care of adolescents with complex CHD. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Data analysis revealed 4 themes: QOL depends on how the psychological and social issues are interwoven with the physical; finding that balance between overprotection and too much freedom; setting goals to envision a future; and not being defined by a CHD. These results indicate that understanding nurses' perspectives and experiences may contribute to effective guidance for adolescents with complex CHD transitioning into adulthood.

Abstract: Interactions between nurses and patients during triage are crucial if the urgency of patient need is to be assessed accurately. This article reports on the results of a study of emergency nurses’ perspectives and experience of triage in the United States. Findings indicate that triage encounters are multifaceted and that emergency nurses require experience as well as knowledge to make good decisions. Two themes emerged from the study’s findings: the need for nurses to connect with patients and the ability of nurses to ‘read between the lines’. Nurses who connect with patients can take more detailed histories, while those who can read between the lines can identify the salient points and subtle signs from patients. Nurses with these skills can make better triage decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The nursing shortage remains problematic, yet research with nurses no longer in clinical practice is scarce. The purpose of this study was to understand the factors influencing the decision of registered nurses (RNs) to leave clinical nursing. A phenomenological research design was chosen to reveal the complex phenomena influencing the RNs' decisions to leave clinical nursing practice. Interviews were conducted with RNs who were no longer practicing clinically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
