By Rose O. Sherman, EdD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN How many of you have seriously considered leaving your role? I recently asked this question during a session with nurse managers, and I was not surprised to see 80% of the hands in the audience go up.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) and medical doctors (MDs) spend their days making a difference in people’s lives. Providers in both professions treat patient illnesses and injuries with the best science and acute care techniques. In the U.S. healthcare system (depending on the state), both can serve as primary care providers. The main difference between a nurse practitioner and doctor is that NPs undergo less training than MDs —so their responsibilities differ.

Today’s workforce includes multiple generations of employees all looking for something different from their benefits package. While meeting these disparate needs can be challenging, a comprehensive fertility benefit can support everyone from junior staffers learning about their fertility health to senior leadership managing menopause and low testosterone symptoms.

A difficult exchange Photo by Riccardo Chiarini on Unsplash She was one of those patients who remind me of my own daughters, who make me consider up close what it would feel like to watch a terrible disease process insidiously take over my own child’s body. Her cancer had spread and she was struggling to breathe. The team had told the parents it was likely we might have to give her a breathing tube before my shift was over.

No job is stress-free. Clinical nurses work in an environment that is high-stress by nature—making decisions that can impact patients’ lives— and need to take extra care to avoid the mental and physical condition known as nursing burnout. We outline what nurse burnout is, its risks, how to prevent it and how to address it if it’s happening to you. What Is Nurse Burnout?

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. How often did we as children say these words to those who teased us? Yet we still felt the sting that unkind and malicious words imparted, especially when said by those we trusted. And it didn’t matter if the taunts were untrue—they still hurt. Words matter—take youth bullying, for example.

A survey reveals that falls are the most frequent health issue affecting seniors in long-term care facilities. Interestingly, while 90% of caregivers feel confident in implementing fall prevention measures, only 60% have adequate knowledge to do so effectively. As the aging population grows, so does the demand for specialized healthcare tailored to the unique needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities, posing new challenges and responsibilities for healthcare providers.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace. In a recent survey, 70% of respondents said they have considered changing their employment to better manage symptoms — perhaps because only 8% received significant support from their employer related to meno

Nursing schools are the gateway to the profession. But when racism is prevalent at the collegiate level , the racial, structural, and institutional inequities entrenched in these programs have a profound impact. Workforce composition, the development of future educators and administrators, student success, and the overall health and well-being of society are at risk when racism in nursing education persists.

Barriers to and strategies for sustainable progress Racism in nursing not only contradicts the core values of our profession but also undermines the quality of care we provide. Racist attitudes, biases, and behaviors against nurses of color have no place in nursing, yet they persist, disrupting workplace satisfaction, career mobility, and nurses’ ability to advocate for ourselves and our patients.

Employee expectations around benefits and workplace support have evolved in step with the growing need for fertility and family-forming care. As HR professionals, it is our job to ensure employees have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits our organizations offer and how they can utilize them. Before educating employees, we first need to understand the rising healthcare costs and the financial burden of fertility care.

Falls occur due to a lack of attention to whether there are patient-specific fall risk assessments, and these details are pertinent to ensuring the patient’s safety.
