Summary
Auxiliary nurses are facing exclusion from Royal College of Nursing (RCN) membership, raising concerns about professional inclusivity and support for all nursing staff.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Professional Associations
Background:
- Auxiliary nurses are integral members of the healthcare team.
- Current policies may inadvertently restrict membership to professional nursing organizations for auxiliary staff.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the reasons behind the exclusion of auxiliary nurses from Royal College of Nursing (RCN) membership.
- To advocate for equitable access to professional nursing organizations for all healthcare support staff.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative analysis of current RCN membership criteria.
- Review of professional body guidelines regarding auxiliary staff.
Main Results:
- Findings indicate a potential oversight in RCN's eligibility criteria regarding auxiliary nursing roles.
- The exclusion may limit professional development and representation for auxiliary nurses.
Conclusions:
- Re-evaluation of RCN membership eligibility is recommended to ensure inclusivity.
- Professional nursing organizations should consider expanding membership to auxiliary nurses to foster a unified nursing profession.

Decreased Body Temperature
1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Cold Weather Concreting
416
When freshly poured concrete is exposed to freezing temperatures before it has set, the water within the concrete can freeze. This expansion disrupts the setting process, delays chemical reactions necessary for hardening, and increases the volume of pores within the hardened concrete, which weakens its overall structure. If the concrete manages to reach an appreciable strength before it freezes, the damage can be somewhat mitigated.

Masonry in Cold and Hot Weather Conditions
371
In cold weather, masonry construction requires specific precautions to ensure mortar does not freeze before curing, as this can significantly weaken its strength and watertightness. Mortar temperature should be maintained between 60°F and 80°F to support proper hydration and curing. Below 40°F, mortar water must be heated, but should not exceed 120°F as high temperatures can reduce mortar's compressive and bond strength.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Phase Transitions: Melting and Freezing
15.5K
Heating a crystalline solid increases the average energy of its atoms, molecules, or ions, and the solid gets hotter. At some point, the added energy becomes large enough to partially overcome the forces holding the molecules or ions of the solid in their fixed positions, and the solid begins the process of transitioning to the liquid state or melting. At this point, the temperature of the solid stops rising, despite the continual input of heat, and it remains constant until all of the solid is...
