Abstract: The number of individuals with significant hearing loss is growing, and subsequently, the utilization of cochlear implants (CIs) is increasing. CIs electrically stimulate the cochlear nerve to help individuals register sounds. The expanding use of CIs highlights the need for nurses who are skilled in caring for this patient population. These surgically placed devices, often implanted during childhood, require lifelong monitoring and care. Nurses play a critical role in preventing serious surgical complications and providing routine care. To ensure safety and effectiveness, nurses must use effective communication techniques. Psychosocial needs must also be taken into consideration because patients with CIs and their families often experience a reduced quality of life. However, these experiences are subjective, and nurses should adopt a holistic, individualized approach that is tailored to the specific needs of these patients and their families.

Abstract: Gerontological nurse leaders are essential in long-term care (LTC), yet many step into leadership roles without structured guidance. Structured mentorship programs bridge this leadership gap by building core competencies, strengthening job satisfaction, and reducing turnover. This article explores mentorship models, implementation challenges, and the implications for workforce development and resident outcomes in LTC environments.

Abstract: Spirituality is an integral part of patient-centered care: Inclusive nursing, which encompasses assessing and responding to patients' spiritual needs, can improve patient outcomes. It is important to determine a patient's religion and spirituality at the beginning of care because this may affect how a patient wishes to be treated. In support of patients' spirituality, hospital chaplains are experts in providing spiritual care to patients, families, and staff. This article discusses the role of hospital chaplains and central aspects of different religious beliefs, with the aim of better equipping nurses to support patients' spiritual needs across diverse backgrounds.
