This article explores the fascinating intersection of cutting-edge technology and nursingeducation, focusing specifically on adopting smart glasses technology in simulation foreducation. Since the nursing profession continually evolves. Therefore, the methods shouldbe used to educate and train future nurses. Technology is ever-growing in all virtual andreal education areas in the rapidly advancing digital era. Smart glasses technology is aninnovative type that has shown considerable promise in enhancing learning experiences.This article delves into this technology's utility, potential benefits, challenges, andapplication within the realm of simulation in nursing education. By understanding theadoption and integration of this technology can better equip nursing students andprofessionals with the necessary skills and practice in the constantly changing andchallenging healthcare environment

Falls represent a significant public health concern, particularly among hospitalized older adults. This vulnerability stems from a confluence of intrinsic (age-related physiological changes, pre-existing conditions, medications) and extrinsic factors (hospital environment, inadequate staffing, lack of fall prevention protocols). The consequences of falls in this population can range from minor injuries to severe trauma, including hip fractures, head injuries, and even death. These events lead to increased healthcare costs, prolonged hospital stays, reduced quality of life, and functional decline. This article review examines the current evidence on fall-related injuries in hospitalized older adults, focusing on risk factors, effective prevention strategies, and areas requiring further research.

Background: Triage remains a cornerstone of emergency care, both in the context of large-scale disasters and within everyday hospital emergency departments. It is a process of sorting and prioritizing patients based on their illness or injury severity. This prioritization ensures that those in most critical need receive timely medical intervention, potentially saving lives and improving their overall prognosis. Therefore, we assessed the nurses’ knowledge regarding triage to identify the level of required ongoing training and education to ensure accurate assessments and optimal patient outcomes in hospital care. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with a convenience sampling method was conducted in three main teaching hospitals in Al-Najaf city from December 2023 till April 2024. A specially prepared questionnaire was used to collect the required data from 70 nurses working in those hospitals. Results: findings showed that (62.9%) were females. Along with this (60%) of the total do not have training courses on triage. In concern knowledge, nurses exhibited poor knowledge (47.14%) and moderate knowledge (50%) about triage. Furthermore, the overall nurses’ knowledge concerning triage was not associated with nurses' demographic data (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that the majority of nurses had overall poor to moderate knowledge of triage, which is a poor finding, and there was a high association between nurses’ knowledge and training courses on triage.

Background: The global rise in , and morbidity related to respiratory failure has highlighted the critical role of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). ECMO is a well-established technology that facilitates blood oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal through an external circulation system. Nurses equipped with comprehensive knowledge of ECMO can deliver optimal patient care. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate nurses' knowledge of ECMO and explore the relationship between their knowledge and socio-demographic factors. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling across three major teaching hospitals in Al-Najaf City: Al-Hakim General Hospital, Al-Sadr Medical City, Al-Najaf Teaching Hospital, and Al-Sajjad Hospital, from November 2023 to April 2024. Data were collected from 49 nurses using a specially designed questionnaire. Utilized Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests for data analysis. Results: The findings revealed that 55.1% of the participants were female, and 98% of all nurses had attended ECMO training courses. Overall, nurses demonstrated moderate knowledge about ECMO across most areas (67.35%). Additionally, no significant relationship was found between the nurses' overall understanding of ECMO and their socio-demographic characteristics (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that most nurses possessed moderate knowledge of ECMO, which is a satisfactory outcome. Furthermore, no significant association was observed between nurses' knowledge and their socio-demographic characteristics.

Background: Pregnancy during teenage years is associated with adverse outcomes for both mother and baby. The aim of our study was to identify potential factors on early pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes. Methods: Cross-sectional, comparative study was adopted it was conducted in main hospitals in Najaf during the period Nov. 1st, 2018 until March 20th, 2019. A total of 209 mothers were interviewed (99 cases under 19year old and 109 for19year old and more). Data were collect using a structured questionnaire containing maternal and neonatal data. Data were analyze by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22. Results: The main results showed that all influencing factors are non-significant in more than 0.05 P.value just smoking which is significant in 0.0004 P.value. Conclusion and Recommendations: Influencing factors were more likely related to. In other respects, there were no significant differences between teenage and non-teenage mothers.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing is a four-year program that offers a broad foundation in liberal arts and science and an extensive range of nursing courses (2). A four-year education helps nurses navigate the increasingly complex medical field; in its Future of Nursing Report, the Institute of Medicine recommends that 80 percent of all nurses have, at minimum, a baccalaureate degree by 2020. Hospitals applying for Magnet status employ a larger proportion of nurses with a B.S. degree than without. Many institutions also have higher pay grades for bachelor's-prepared nurses. A four-year degree also is the foundation for the advanced education needed to become a nurse educator, nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, nurse administrator, or nurse researcher (4). The main objectives of this study are to estimate graduates and employers satisfaction in nursing educational program and to identify opportunities to strengthen and improve nursing educational program A descriptive cross-sectional study was design was performed from 5th December 2018 to 20th march 2019. A non-probability sampling technique (purposive sample) that include 109 employees This study investigated job satisfaction among nurse. The instrument for measuring occupational satisfaction of hospital nurses developed by stamps and her associates was used. Initial items were reviewed by content experts who were familiar with measurement of work satisfaction among health professional and nursing practice in Iraq based on the item analysis in the cultural context several items were reworded or eliminated from the original version the questionnaire was administered to 100 nurses practicing in a large acute care hospital. Finally the study concludes that the graduates have a role conflict and role ambiguity, Employer none satisfied with nursing curriculum of nursing collage.
