    The primary efficacy measure was the percent change from baseline in the frequency (per 28 days) of convulsive seizures (all countable atonic, tonic, clonic, and tonic-clonic seizures) over the 14-week treatment period. In Study 3, 93% of patients were taking at least 2 concomitant AEDs during the trial. The most commonly used concomitant AEDs (>25%) in Study 3 were clobazam (65%), valproate (57%), stiripentol (43%), levetiracetam (28%), and topiramate (26%). The baseline median convulsive seizure frequency was 13 per 28 days for the combined groups. The median percent change from baseline (reduction) in the frequency of convulsive seizures was significantly greater for EPIDIOLEX 20 mg/kg/day than for placebo (see Table 5).

    Because normally we had managers and supervisors that were eligible to telework initially, versus licensing specialist didn't have that switch flipped in the system. But we knew we could do it. So we had to do some of those things, policies and things like that. We had people fully remote for two and a half years, essentially. I have 26 in my chain. So I've got licensing, criminal background checking, and in-operations. So we still had a few people coming in, myself included. I think with our management team, we had us rotating in one day a week which we had been doing up until I think the early April.

    A person who does not get stuck in the day to day, but strives to make the nursing profession better and is a advo- cate for the practice. A leader. [LPN/VN, Year 5] I think there are two characteristics that reflect a person’s competence. The first trait is that a com- petent nurse is never satisfied with their level of knowledge… I feel that a second trait that highly competent nurses exhibit is confidence, or coolness under pressure… Finally I would emphasize that in an emergency situation or even just a trying situa- tion, the nurse needs to demonstrate calmness and confidence to gain the trust of the general public as well as their fellow nurses.

    And if you think about it from an obstetrical standpoint, those physicians that are prepared to care for women, deliver babies, and do high-risk perinatal care, they are 22 years old, at least by the time they graduate from their bachelor's program. They're 26 from the time that they get out of a residency, that they get out of medical school, and 30 by the time they're graduating from their residency. Almost exclusively, obstetricians and gynecologists are female, are young women. They are growing their families, and we are finding that their length of full- scope practice is less than 10 years, on average, before they stop doing births and move to either a hospitalist practice or a primary care-only practice.

    All rights reserved. 7 - No. - No. No. So I'm not sure that most frontline nurses would know to navigate to that website, but we included it because we're trying to be as inclusive, you know, of results as possible. What we found is that of the ATD programs that we landed on, 26 of them were nursing specific, 13 of them were multi- professional, and 4 of them, we couldn't tell from the internet search. There was vast variability in the quality and quantity of information that was available. So if I lived in, you know, Massachusetts, I'm going to find a very different level of information than if I live in Hawaii.
