摘要:

The transition from student to primary care practitioner Is exciting and challenging and offers seemingly limitless opportunities. This article presents results of a model generated from a longitudinal study of 35 newly graduated primary care nurse practitioners during their first year of practice. Stages of development include laying the foundation (recuperating from school, negotiating the bureaucracy, looking for a Job, and worrying); launching (feeling real, getting through the day, battling time, and confronting anxiety); meeting the challenge (increasing competence, gaining confidence, and acknowledging system problems); and broadening the perspective (developing system savvy, affirming oneself, and up-ping the ante). Anticipatory guidance Is offered for new graduates and their mentors and colleagues. Mentors can provide crucial Information about appropriate expectations and create key structures to facilitate new practitioners' needs for consultation and advice.

摘要:

The risk of malignant melanoma may double if severe sunburns are experienced during childhood. Because children are exposed to sunlight for the longest period of time before age 21, regular use of sunscreen can reduce a child's lifetime risk of developing skin cancer. Therefore, preventive education is vital for parents of infants, preschool and school-age children, and adolescents. By assessing a child's risk factors, health care providers, teachers, and child-care professionals can incorporate preventive sun-safety education Into their practice. This effort needs to occur at the community, state, and national level for widespread preventive sun safety and protection. In collaboration with the Healthy People 2000 project and In compliance with the United States Preventive Service recommendations, health care providers can help reduce the incidence of skin cancers In the American population.
