Every day, children all across the United States are bought and sold for sex. They are not old enough to consent to sex – and despite the existence of federal law that defines them as victims of human trafficking, each year more than 1,000 American children are arrested for prostitution in the U.S.

Screen Shot 2016-04-14 at 9.47.04 AMThe 2016 Associated Press Style Book is recommending that writers avoid using the word “prostitute” when a child is involved, as in “child prostitute,” “teenage prostitute,” because by definition, an underage child cannot consent to sex, they are victims of rape.

Language matters.

Now we need to address the misuse of the word rescue when reporting on human trafficking. Barbara Glickstein interviews Becky Owens Bullard,Project Director of the Denver Anti-Trafficking Alliance, about the misuse of the word rescue when speaking about trafficking.

Of the many traditional roles that nurses occupy, the role of nurse scientist represents one of the least understood and most critical scopes of nursing.

 

Once upon a time in the 1940s, nurse leaders from across the United States joined forces to address the need for federal support of nursing science. The Office of the Surgeon General supported the assembly of a Division of Nursing, which eventually led to the formation of a branch within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that was dedicated to nursing research.

 

The National Institute of Nursing Research(NINR) was born in the 1993 with the purpose to investigate ways to improve the health of individuals, families, and communities.

 

Today on HealthCetera Radio, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Kristi Westphaln clarifies the somewhat nebulous role of the nurse scientist. She interviews Dr. Marie Lobo, President of the Western Institute of Nursing (WIN).  Dr. Lobo talks about the nurse scientist and shares her vision of how nursing research will contribute to the future of health care.
