    Potential DEA Reclassification of Marijuana to Schedule III

    Because the Feds have left the states to address marijuana for so long, there are a lot of state regulations, and reclassification to III would not impact state rules. The Biden administration would be the administration reviewing the rules change, but they’re effectively the ones that signaled for it in the first place. The biggest change is (weird, but true) tax classification of business expenses.

    Absence of AI Hospital Rules Worries Healthcare Workers

    While prompted by concerns about rules regarding use of AI diagnostics and treatment aids, or embedding AI into hospital processes, the real concern should probably be with payment and decision-making systems. In many ways, expansion of AI processes at the patient level can be a boon to nurses - but turning AI loose on making decisions about prior authorizations and treatment versus cost decisions would be bad on so many levels.

    Nursing School Enrollment Drops to Decade Low

    This is the fourth year that RN-to-BSN enrollment has declined. The underlying reason isn’t demand related - employers prefer advanced degrees, and the pay reflects that. It’s a combination of education staffing problem and cost. Shortages in full-time faculty, part-time faculty, clinical placements and clinical supervision are heavily impacting acceptance rates - money, in short.
