Nurse practitioners: An insight into their integration into Australian community pharmacies

Nurse practitioners: an insight into their integration into Australian community pharmacies.

BACKGROUND Nurse practitioners (NPs) are independent health professionals with prescribing rights, and have recently established primary care roles in pharmacies. OBJECTIVE To describe the roles of pharmacy-based NPs in Australia. METHODS Semi-structured interviews were undertaken onsite or by telephone, with 28 staff of all 9 Revive NP Clinics in Western Australia. Participants comprised N...

Integrating Nurse Practitioners Into Intensive Care Units.

An Insight into T-DNA Integration Events in Medicago sativa

The molecular mechanisms of transferred DNA (T-DNA) integration into the plant genome are still not completely understood. A large number of integration events have been analyzed in different species, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms involved, and on the frequent transfer of vector sequences outside the T-DNA borders, the so-called vector backbone (VB) sequences. In this work, we char...
