Nurse leaders must carefully consider the climate and design of such programs, paying particular attention to the ability to support the career journeys of more doctorally-prepared nurses from diverse backgrounds. This article describes a self-study that considered the unique, yet collective, lived experiences of 11 Black, doctorally-prepared, nurses who completed (or are completing) the same interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellowship. We describe the study methods, results, discussion, and limitations. Five themes across three phases of the nurse scholars’ educational journeys describe lived experiences in spaces not traditionally designed to support minoritized women, including insight into the limits and benefits of these programs specific to Black nurse scholars. Finally, we suggest implications for nursing to inform interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellowship programs to strengthen Black nurse scholars as emerging leaders with interprofessional collaboration skills to improve healthcare services provided to diverse patient populations.","PeriodicalId":225312,"journal":{"name":"OJIN: The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129555817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At a large academic medical center in the mid-Atlantic United States, nurse leaders combined knowledge of the psychological phases of disaster and principles of the Serving Leadership framework to mobilize and lead APRN teams to deliver high-quality care to all patients and provide a safe working environment for healthcare teams. In this article, we discuss exemplars that demonstrate the flexibility and strengths of APRNs in all roles who addressed rapidly evolving needs such as resource allocation and education. The conclusion highlights the value and relevance of APRN skillsets to clinical practice and the opportunity to further capitalize on these strengths during the continuing journey through this COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.","PeriodicalId":225312,"journal":{"name":"OJIN: The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125512100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Involvement at the board level allows nurses to create institutional processes to improve the delivery of services, set policies, and establish benchmarks to address pressing issues. No research exists to identify which skills nurses find most helpful in executing board responsibilities and what experiences lead to the attainment of these skills. The purpose of this study was to develop a repository of clear and relevant items that could be used to establish an instrument that measures nurses’ professional experiences and board member responsibilities. This article describes our study methods, and results, including five emerging themes that describe nurses’ perception of board activities and their board participation. These themes encompassed the intertwining of experiences and skills, foundational experiences that support credibility, transferable skills, use of policy processes, and the importance of networking. Discussion of our findings, limitations, and implications for practice can inform professional development activities to support nurses as they pursue board service, and the development of an instrument to evaluate the impact of their experiences, effectiveness, and perceived contributions when serving on boards.","PeriodicalId":225312,"journal":{"name":"OJIN: The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124890133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article I provide an overview of HIoT, factors fueling wearable market growth, and HIoT technology and usability challenges. Next, I present collaboration as a key to success in design and implementation of HIoT initiatives, identifying collaboration models useful to healthcare and consumer/patient teams.

Scopus was used as the primary database to retrieve published articles. The study results and subsequent citation analysis of 64 articles from 2014 to 2020 determined the types and extent of literature on big data in nursing, which authors and journals publish big data research, and the origins of the studies that were reviewed.

Our discussion suggests future directions for research, content about nurse involvement in big data important for nursing curricula, implications for policy action based on evidence, and our assessment of the state of the science.
