New Grad library snapshot

Live counts for the transition-to-practice pathway — scoped inventory, not the full NCLEX-RN marketing corpus.

What new grads need to know

Social determinants show up as “non-adherence” — investigate barriers first.
Outbreak response is logistics plus messaging — clarity reduces panic.
Immunization registries and school laws are operational tools, not trivia.

Common patient presentations

Immunization catch-up schedules across ages.
TB contact investigations and latent treatment pathways.
Maternal–child home visiting for high-risk families.

Priority assessments

Growth charts and developmental screens in pediatric outreach.
Blood pressure and A1c in adult screening fairs.
Housing, food, and transportation needs on every intake when relevant.

Safety risks

Cold chain breaks for vaccines in field settings.
Privacy breaches when charting in public spaces.
Personal safety during home visits — trust your instincts and policy.

Medications, labs, and equipment

Medications

Depot injections with standing orders verified against allergies.
Narcan distribution education with community partners.
Antibiotic stewardship in mass prophylaxis scenarios when rare.

Labs & monitoring

Point-of-care HIV or HCV screens with confirmatory pathways.
Lead levels in pediatric environmental exposures.
Strep throat testing with antibiotic criteria clarity.

Equipment & environment

Sharps containers secured in mobile units.
Refrigerator logs for vaccines.
PPE appropriate to outbreak agent when applicable.

Communication & reporting

Plain-language messaging for diverse literacy levels.
Coordination with schools, shelters, and faith groups when programs scale.
Escalation to public health authority when reportable conditions appear.
