If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out The Society for Nursing Ethics International (SONEI). The SONEI website includes a rich repository of nursing-ethics related resources. My essay on everyday ethics in nursing is on the SONEI blog this week:

It will also likely disincentivize folks from pursuing nursing at the Bachelors degree level - the possibility of career advancement through graduate studies is something that draws many people into nursing in the first place.

“The move is shortsighted, with little appreciation of its negative downstream effects: It will make it more difficult for nurses with bachelor’s-level training to seek further specialized training in critical areas, such as primary and acute care, oncology, pediatrics, gerontology, and anesthesia”

For years we’ve struggled to increase public conversation about end of life care and advance directives. The Pitt may just be showing us the model for how to do it. Viewers were more likely to seek/share information about organ donation and EOL care. This is accessible ethics education in action!

'The Pitt' Motivates Viewers to Become Organ Donors and Plan End-of-Life Affairs Study Finds

“'The Pitt’s' success is a powerful reminder that stories can prioritize accuracy," USC Research Director Erica Rosenthal shares.

#3 is esp important from a distributional perspective, as it comports w/ the notion of a (Rosean) Whole Population Approach. Whole Pop interventions tend more to meet the twin aims of #HealthJustice (improving overall health & compressing health inequalities). Reduce stigma risks, too. #PHEthx

Fluoridated water 1)Reduces tooth decay by ~25% in kids and adults. 2) For every $1 spent, communities save up to $38 in dental costs. 3) Benefits everyone, regardless of income or access to dental care. 4) Over 75 years of research shows it’s effective and harmless. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

In particular, I'd like to highlight this excerpt, as it speaks to a foundational concept in public health ethics: Twin aims models of #Justice. Ethically optimal public health interventions should maximize two goals: improvement of overall pop health, and compression of health inequalities. 1/

According to the latest provisional data from the C.D.C., overdose deaths fell to 97,000, in the 12 months that ended in June, a welcome drop below the grim 100,000 threshold that was surpassed during the pandemic but still staggering. There were 16,000 fewer drug-related fatalities during that time period than in the period a year earlier - a projected drop of 14.5 percent. Data suggests that in many states, nonfatal overdose rates are falling as well. But the data also shows uneven progress among racial and ethnic groups and geographic regions. Fatal overdoses among Black Americans generally increased between 2022 and 2023, while they largely decreased among white Americans, according to a recent Georgetown University analysis of state data.
