We thought you might want to share with your Nursing students and faculty the January 2020 Nursing-related Gallup survey results.  All of us at AcademicCareers.com  salute you and your colleagues for encouraging, supporting, and educating young minds through your work as Nursing educators. During a time when Americans’ confidence in many U.S. institutions has declined, the public’s trust in nurses remains unmatched. For the 18th year in a row, the public rated nursing as the most honest and ethical profession in America, with an 85 percent rating of high/very high, according to a recently released Gallup survey. Nurses have claimed the top spot since 1999, the first year they were included in the survey, with the exception of 2001, when firefighters were voted No. 1 in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  The Gallup survey  paints a positive picture of how nurses are perceived compared to other professions. For example, the public gave a 66 percent rating for Engineers, 65 percent for Medical doctors, 64 percent for Pharmacists and on the down side, a 12 percent rating for Members of Congress, among many professions represented in the survey.  As written elsewhere, these numbers are important because they contextualize and complement findings that show that patients benefit when nurses are leading and working to the full scope of their education. A 2014 study funded by the National Institutes of Health found that patients with heart disease were almost 50 percent more likely to receive optimal care when their care was coordinated by teams led by nurses. Nurse-led teams not only ensured that patients received all recommended care in the hospital, but also identified helpful community resources and served as a liaison with families and care providers after patients were discharged from the hospital.   To all nurses, nursing students, and those working as nursing educators...from all of us at Academic Careers, congratulations and thank you !   To share this information on your website or Facebook page or Instagram with your nursing students, colleagues, doctoral candidates, instructors, and professors: https://academiccareers.com/job/7286/nurses-continue-to-rate-highest-in-honesty-ethics-to-share-with-your-nursing-students-colleagues-and-faculty/

About the Bridge Program The American Physical Society Bridge Program (APS-BP) is an effort to increase the number of physics PhDs awarded to underrepresented minority (URM) students, defined by the project as African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans. The APS-BP has done this by creating sustainable transition (bridge) programs and a national network of doctoral granting institutions that provide substantial mentoring for students to successfully complete PhD programs. Program Goals Increase, within a decade, the fraction of physics PhDs awarded to underrepresented minority students to match the fraction of physics Bachelor’s degrees granted to these groups Develop, evaluate, and document sustainable model bridging experiences that improve the access to and culture of graduate education for all students, with emphasis on those underrepresented in doctoral programs in physics Promote and disseminate successful program components to the physics community Key Components Successful bridge programs share certain key elements, and exist within a supportive institutional context. These contextual and programmatic components build on one another to provide students with a complete educational experience, from admissions and induction to research and mentoring. Learn more about Key Components Bridge & Partnership Sites The APS Bridge Program provides selected institutions with funding to build bridge programs and improve mentoring efforts. Bridge Sites : A master's or doctoral granting institution that has devised a program that prepares students to apply, and be accepted into a physics doctoral program. Partnership Sites : A master's or doctoral granting institution that has received Bridge Program approval and is committed to providing transitional support for APS Bridge Fellows entering these programs. Member Institutions APS Bridge Program membership is free and available to colleges, universities, national labs, non-profits, and educational organizations committed to improving diversity in the physics community. Membership Institutions do not receive direct funding, but benefit from: Registration discounts for Bridge Program conferences and workshops Immediate, focused Bridge Program updates Access to funding opportunities APS support in improving diversity in your physics department Synopses of relevant policy, research, and programmatic information Use of project-generated statistics (PowerPoint slides, data plots, etc.) Learn how to join!
