By Sara Lyn Miniaci-Coxhead, MD, MEd Total ankle replacement (TAR) was introduced in the 1970s, but initial design flaws led to significant failures. As a result, ankle arthrodesis continued to be the gold standard in treating ankle arthritis. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the current generation of TAR implants was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and brought to market.

While bedside manner and knowledge are equally important for nurses, there’s one other surprising factor that has an impact on the way we are perceived by patients and colleagues: appearance. A recent study showed that nurses themselves deem others to be “good nurses” based on their appearance and outfits. Another study revealed that nurses wearing unconventional attire, such as colorful scrubs reduced anxiety among children in a hospital setting.

What makes us traveler nurses “travel” depends on so many different pain points. Some states don’t pay enough; I know of two RNs from Alabama who frequently pair up, leave their spouse and kids behind, and set out for financially greener pastures. Some of us, like me, are tired of the mundane of our hometown and want to see something new and exciting.

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

While the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) ― an objective measure of daytime sleep propensity ― is the gold standard for diagnosing narcolepsy type 1, its use for assessing noncataplectic central disorders of hypersomnolence is not established. Yet it is the test most often turned to for patients suspected of having these debilitating conditions. Some 30% to 40% of idiopathic hypersomnia sufferers have normal MSLT results, which often leads to them being told their sleepiness is not due to a s

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.
