Educating Rheumatology Nurses from Around the World
Rheumatology nurses are often involved in the management of patients with unusual clinical presentations, complex medical histories, and other challenging issues. Many patients with rheumatic diseases have comorbidities that can cloud their diagnosis and complicate their treatment. Patients also struggle with pain, depression, and other issues that require special attention. In this issue, we discuss memorable patient cases that illustrate important lessons in patient care.
The Fall 2011 issue of Rheumatology Nurse focuses on what differentiates psoriatic arthritis (PsA) from other types of inflammatory arthritis, validated disease assessment and monitoring tools, and a review of the latest evidence regarding current treatment options for mild, moderate, and severe PsA.
Volunteers for section editors, chapter writers, and peer reviewers are needed for the Core Curriculum for Rheumatology Nurses!
The Summer 2011 issue of Rheumatology Nurse, entitled “What’s New in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis,“ focuses on an in-depth look at the current and future role of drug therapy for patients with RA.
Summer is here and the living is easy? Not always easy for our lupus patients.
Because of everything that you do, the Rheumatology Nurses Society’s Board of Directors would like to thank you for being that special kind of person – a Nurse.
Before the initiation of the research project and during the feasibility period; identify a potential study patient and perform a mock screening. This will give you a good estimate of the patient population, screening difficulty, problems with inclusion/exclusion criteria, and time needed by the coordinator for this task. All useful in preparing a realistic budget.
The Rheumatology Nurses Society invites your review and comment on the Rheumatology Nursing: Scope and Standards.
