1. Nursing Polls Forum

We have created a new Nursing Polls forum to gather most of the general nursing polls that users have posted on the allnurses.com Bulletin Board. We have already moved 60 polls from the general nursing forum into this forum. Some polls are still better suited for a particular specialty forum, so we left them in those forums. To check out the new Nursing Polls forum

3. Death toll rises to 23 in Africa's Ebola outbreak.
Death toll rises to 23 in Africa's Ebola outbreak. A 16-year-old died of Ebola in northeastern Gabon, raising the death toll to 23 in an outbreak of the disease in two Central African countries, health officials said Wednesday. He was the sixth member of his family to die in the outbreak. His aunt, a nurse, caught the disease from a patient, then spread it to her mother, brother, two children and nephew.
