In assisted living, one of the most critical aspects of resident care is the prevention and management of skin issues. For instance, one of the most common risk factors associated with the development of pressure ulcers is being 70 years of age or older. Skin health is not only a matter of comfort and well-being but also a key indicator of a resident’s overall health status.

No matter where you work—whether it’s a private practice, a hospital, a clinic, or a patient’s home—it’s important to ensure that your medical supplies are stored safely, securely, and well-organized. Proper storage is essential for preventing harm from hazardous supplies to you and your patients and for efficient and effective patient care, as you need to know exactly where every tool and medicine is located.

I started posting an article to remember 9/11 on September 11, 2015, and have repeated it every year since as a reminder of what happened on September 11, 2001. As a reminder, September 11, 2001, was a beautiful sunny day till a well-coordinated terrorist group attacked the United States. Nearly 3,000 people were killed when al-Qaida hijackers crashed four jetliners into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 11, 2001.

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.

Over the past 10 years, I have spoken to many groups on Social Security about ways to consider maximizing benefits. A subject area that gets a lot of questions is the claiming of Spousal Benefits. The spouse who earns the most over their working lifetime is considered the primary worker. Social Security is gender neutral. Unless a person is disabled or a surviving spouse, the earliest time one can file for benefits is age 62.

Adequate nurse staffing ratios are associated with better patient outcomes, says this CNO. The nursing shortage impacts other nurses by causing burnout and exhaustion, and inadequate staffing directly affects patient safety and experience.

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

OR nursing is a high-pressure, high-reward profession. It involves holding your patient’s hand and providing comfort as they fall into a drug-induced sleep before intubation. It’s about quickly anticipating the surgeon’s needs when they snap their fingers. It may require running to obtain platelets or fresh frozen plasma during a trauma. OR nurses advocate for their patients and protect their safety.

While much of the world has moved forward from the pandemic, the healthcare industry grapples with a significant shortage. The growing and less discussed shortage of nurse educators extends beyond the well-known nursing shortage. This critical gap threatens the future of nursing itself. As burnout, chronic stress, and compassion fatigue from the pandemic have led more nurses to exit the workforce, the pool of those nurses seeking to advance into educational roles becomes increasingly limited.
