Management and Characteristics of Embolism and Thrombosis After COVID-19 Vaccination: Scoping Review.

This scoping review aims to 1) identify characteristics of participants who developed embolism and/or thrombotic event(s) after COVID-19 vaccination and 2) review the management during the new vaccine development of the unexpected event(s). This review was conducted following PRISMA for scoping review guidelines. Peer-reviewed articles were searched for studies involving participants with embolism and/or thrombotic event(s) after COVID-19 vaccination with the management described during the early phase after the approval of vaccines. The 12 studies involving 63 participants were included in this review. The majority of participants' ages ranged from 22 to 49 years. The embolism and/or thrombotic event(s) often occur within 30 days post-vaccination. Five of the included studies reported the event after receiving viral vector vaccines and suggested a vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia as a plausible mechanism. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis was the most frequently reported post-vaccination thrombosis complication. In summary, the most frequently reported characteristics and management from this review were consistent with international guidelines. Future studies are recommended to further investigate the incidence and additional potential complications to warrant the benefit and safety after receiving COVID-19 vaccine and other newly developed vaccines.

Socialization of Master's-Prepared Novice Nurse Faculty: Their Lived Experiences.

AIM: The aim of this study was to explore the lived experience of novice nurse faculty's socialization to academia. BACKGROUND: Socialization is a process that enables individuals to acquire the inherent roles, standards, rules, and values inherent of a group. Given the complexity of the faculty role, socialization is essential for novice nurse educators. METHOD: A descriptive, qualitative study was conducted employing Colaizzi's phenomenological method of data analysis. RESULTS: Eight themes emerged: lack of structure, the blind spot, distinctive experiences, acceptance and validation, continually evolving-learning as you go, the wish list, new role challenges, and self-revelation. CONCLUSION: These findings increase our understanding of the challenges experienced by novice nursing faculty as they are socialized to their new roles. The findings can inform strategies to improve the socialization experience and faculty retention.

Intersection of Quality and Excellence: Characteristics of Redesignated National League for Nursing Centers of Excellence.

The purpose of this research was to identify characteristics of redesignated National League for Nursing Centers of Excellence in Nursing Education that represent the intersection between quality and excellence. A qualitative content analysis of six final applications submitted for redesignation disclosed essential resources that supported students, faculty, and staff and identified six characteristics: connections through relationships, communities of learning and service, support for students and faculty, connections through technology, use of innovation, and a systems focus. The systematic focus on excellence in teaching and learning identified in this research represents best practices from exemplary schools worthy of emulation by other nursing education programs.
