RESUMO
Christian faith supports the idea that God is always at work in the world. God invites people into relationship with him and then to join in his work. Three nurses relay supernatural events where God worked in and through their nursing practice, reinforcing the understanding of what author Henry Blackaby calls experiencing God. Christian nurses are called to enter deeply into relationship with God.

The significance of leg edema as a symptom of multiple anomalies, from benign manifestations to underlying Graves' disease, is described. Accurate assessment, history taking, and supportive diagnostic tests will assist nurses to manage their patients' with competence. A comprehensive discussion about different types of edema, etiology, pathophysiology, management, and patient education is aimed to equip nurses in independent and collaborative management of lower-extremity edema in their patients.

AIM: To understand the relationship among NLCLEX-RN readiness exam scores and influencing variables. BACKGROUND: First-time NCLEX-RN pass rates are a visible measure of program quality.Therefore, schools have adopted aggressive prediction and remediation measures to improve NCLEX-RN pass rate success and therefore the number of licensed and practicing nurses. METHOD: This descriptive correlational study used regression analysis to investigate multivariate relationship between NCLEX-RN readiness exam scores and predictors. RESULTS: This study's findings suggest that while the input variables measured by grades in prerequisites initially appear predictive, only the presence of transfer credits, a potential marker for age and motivation, remains significant. CONCLUSION: Most transfer students are nontraditional adult learners.Therefore, it can be theorized that student personal system has a significant impact on the outcome. The first nursing course, adult health nursing plus maternal-child health nursing, appears foundational for the NCLEX readiness exam.

This article introduces the transition of Haute Ecole de Santé Genève (HEDS) from Le Bon Secours (LBS). History reveals that unlike many nursing schools in Switzerland, HEDS absorbed the nurse education culture of the United States. HEDS was influenced by the vision of its founder Dr. Champendal, the support and strategies of the Rockefeller Foundation, American nurse education through its past directors, and eventually the European educational reform. Founded in 1905 with a vision to be in constant evolution, HEDS is still making a difference in the local and global community through opportunities for transcontinental presence for its students. The international vision of this school with new English-speaking strategies will lead HEDS to define and develop nursing science research in Western Europe and Switzerland. This article will inspire academics to initiate steps to provide a unique experience for their nursing students.
