Good Morning, Readers! |
I want to wish all of my fellow emergency nurses a happy Emergency Nurses Week! I worked in both adult and pediatric ERs during my clinical career, so this week holds a special place in my heart.
If your facility is celebrating this week, or if you went to the ENA conference last month, email me and tell me how you are honoring the art of emergency nursing.

Controversial Treatment for Meth Addiction
|
California’s contingency management program offers gift cards, usually less than $30, to patients for negative drug tests, aiming to help people quit stimulants like meth. This controversial approach has proven effective, with participants twice as likely to stop using compared to traditional methods. Despite concerns over stigma and fraud, California’s Medicaid program is testing the
method to reach more of the state’s 210,000 stimulant-addicted residents.

Issues Missing from the Summit of the Future |
The UN’s “Summit of the Future” addressed global challenges like peace, security, and sustainable development, but what issues did it overlook? Key areas needing more attention include
plastics and several health-related problems—such as equitable health services, mental health, rural communities’ role in disease spillover, “hidden hunger” from micronutrient deficiencies, misformation, and neglected tropical diseases. Some global thinkers also advocate for including grandmothers’ wisdom in decision-making. These gaps call for a more inclusive approach to global governance.
