Objective: The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the continuing nursing education
program on nursing staffs knowledge in kidney transplantation unit and to find out the relationship
between nursing staffs knowledge and demographic characteristics (age, gender, education level, and
years of experiences in kidney transplantation unit).

kidney transplantation units at Baghdad Teaching Hospitals, from December 2011 to July 2012. A nonprobability
(purposive sample) of (16) nurses were selected from kidney transplant units at Baghdad
teaching hospitals, the choice was based on the study criteria. The data were collected through the
use of constructed questionnaire and consist from two major parts, part one consist of demographic
characteristics contain (9) and part two consist of (58) items of a multiple choice questions
distributed in (8) major sections. Validity of the instrument was determined through a panel of (8)
experts, and reliability through a pilot study. The data were analyzed through the application of
descriptive and inferential statistical analysis procedures.

characteristics (age, gender, education level, and years of experiences in kidney transplantation unit).
Recommendation: Based on the result of the present study the researcher recommends to carrying
out additional studies on application of nursing education programs about nurses practice on kidney
transplantation in kidney transplant units, and nurses should be encouraged to participate in
continuing education programs and training sessions about kidney transplantation.
Environmental pollution is regarded as a major problem, and traditional strategies such as chemical or physical remediation are not sufficient to overcome the problems of pollution. Petroleum-contaminated soil results in ecological problems, representing a danger to human health. Bioremediation has received remarkable attention, and it is a procedure that uses a biological agent to remove toxic waste from contaminated soil. This approach is easy to handle, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly; its results are highly satisfactory. Bioremediation is a biodegradation process in which the organic contaminants are completely mineralized to inorganic compounds, carbon dioxide, and water. This review discusses the bioremediation of petroleum-

In Iraq, colon and rectal cancer (CRC) is the 6th most common malignancy in males and the 5th in females.
