I'm looking for an expert to answer some questions about how to
approach having a "rainbow baby" after a miscarriage or
stillbirth. I have some questions about handling the actual

Email: query-blad@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: TravelNursing.com

Deadline: 8:00 PM EST - 25 November

Query:

As we near the end of the year, some students are preparing to
graduate from nursing programs and look for a job. Where are the
nursing jobs likely to be? What should they know? What nursing
specialties are likely to be most in demand?

That's the topic I plan to tackle for a nursing feature story
for TravelNursing.com and NursingJobs.com.

Granted, this year has been different from any other year, due
to the pandemic. And that can't be discounted. With that in
mind, as well as with population trends, where does the greatest
potential for nursing jobs for new grads lie in 2021? What
nursing specialties should new grads (and the nursing students
who will graduate in the spring of 2021) consider when picking a
specialty? What specialties will likely be in demand? And how
should they prepare?

Hospitals and healthcare organizations, what kind of nurses do
you need now? And what specialties do you anticipate needing
more of next year (and beyond)?

Nurses, nursing faculty, and nursing leaders, what advice would
you give to new grads or soon-to-be-new-grads as they embark
upon their job search? Would you steer them into a particular
specialty?

Requirements:

If you are a nurse, a nursing leader, a nursing faculty member,
or someone from a hospital, clinic, or other healthcare
organization that hires nurses, and you'd be willing to talk
about the job outlook for new grads, please contact me through
HARO or via email at larson_jennifer@yahoo.com.

Hello! We're looking for an RD to share insight on the health

To be considered, please briefly answer:

1. In terms of cancer risk, please discuss the antioxidants in
radishes (vitamin C, glucosinolates, etc.) and how these work
against free radicals. 2. Research suggests radishes may be
beneficial for liver health. What compounds are responsible for
this, and how do they work, exactly? Feel free to mention if
studies are mostly in animals/labs (if that's the case) + any
other caveats. 3. In terms of immunity: what nutrients in
radishes may help? By what mechanisms? 4. Any potential health
risks/precautions of radishes people should know? (goitrogens,
etc.) 5. What do radish leaves taste like, and what are some
standout nutrients/health benefits of the leaves?

NOTE:

- Preference will be given to RDs working on their own, with
private practices, or on behalf of a medical institution. (vs
RDs working with brands) - Please stick to HARO and avoid
sending replies to my email address. HARO already sends an email
notification for each reply -- and doubling up significantly
clogs up my inbox. Your reply will be more accessible on HARO.
