In the March 17, 2021 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education, senior writer Beth McMurtrie published Good Grades, Stressed Students, an article on the mixed results of online learning as the 2020-2021 academic year winds down. While the longer-term effects of learning under the pandemic remain to be seen, colleges are analyzing their learning-management systems and studying student surveys to determine what has worked and what has not.
The March-April 2021 issue of the Journal of Professional Nursing includes the article Research in Nursing Education and the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee authored by nursing journal editors Dr. Marilyn Oermann, Dr. Amy Barton, Dr. Patricia Yoder-Wise, and Dr. Patricia Morton. The authors describe the requirements of nursing journals for educational studies and quality improvement projects related to education to be reviewed by an IRB or a research ethics committee and to identify the types of statements of approval or exemption to be included in manuscripts.

“What can academic nursing do to put an end to structural racism? First, we need to look inward at ourselves to identify our own perspective and lenses. This will take creating a safe environment to conduct critical self-reflection so that we can begin to understand how our experiences and our past affect beliefs, privilege, power, and action."
-Dr. Victoria Niederhauser, Dean, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
