Accountability
Article Abstract:
Nurses are accountable for their actions but many remain unaware of the exact nature of their accountability. The Code of Professional Practice does not clarify accountability and how it is relevant in the workplace. Nurses are not only accountable to their profession and their patients but also to their employer and the public. Nurse practitioners and specialists are seen to have additional expertise and are considered to be more accountable for their actions. Student nurses should not be asked to carry out tasks outside their competence as the trained member of staff will be held accountable.

It's a postdoc's life
Article Abstract:
Data from the National Science Foundation show that, of those who were postdocs in 2001, less than one-quarter had moved into a tenure-track university position two years later but, more than 20,000 post docs work each year under the auspices of the US National Institutes of Health. In spite of all the trials and tribulations that come with being a postdoc, it is often considered one of the most productive periods of a scientist's career as it is a time when one can focus on science.
