A grounded theory study to describe how one cohort of Australian nurses dealt with an allegation of unprofessional conduct was undertaken in response to limited research and discourse on this phenomenon. The exploration of the social problem-an allegation of unprofessional conduct-revealed that nurses bring to and experience personal and professional vulnerability in their practice contexts. These vulnerabilities can be distinguished on two trajectories: first, as causal attributes to a fragmentation of decision making and resultant allegation of substandard practice; and second, as motivations to report the nurse to a nurse regulatory authority.

OnCopyright 2010, a 1-day event held at the Union League Club in New York City and sponsored by the Copyright Clearance Center, tackled the issue of copyright from four vantage points: art, society, technology, and law.
