When you think about the current state of your nursing career , does it fit like an old glove, or has it begun to chafe, itch, irritate, or otherwise make you feel uncomfortable? Are there buttons missing? If a shoe metaphor is more appropriate, have you developed career-based callouses, or is your career more like a thorn stuck in your clogs or sneakers?

If the buzz surrounding a medication could elevate it to celebrity status, then Zepbound is reaching Taylor Swift rank. Zepbound is the newest addition to the weight loss drug arena. In November 2023, it joined the list of obesity-fighting drugs – administered as an injection – to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

I hear from so many nurses that they are working short staffed and in dangerous conditions. For example, some nurses are asked to falsify charting, others complain about how they are treated by administration and coworkers and there are many other troublesome situations. If you are working in a toxic work environment, please consider leaving. As I often say, you can always get another job, but you can’t get another license.

While visiting a friend of mine in Austria over New Year’s, I noticed a poster-sized handwritten note in German on their refrigerator door; one side was labeled “more,” and the other side, “less.” My friend and his wife explained that the list was their family’s 2024 New Year’s resolutions. What fascinated me was that the list was collectively created with the active involvement of their two children—ages 3 and 6.

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.

By Cagkan/Adobe Stock Reading the article by Russell-Babin and colleagues in the December 2023 issue of AJN made me grateful for all the work that went into developing the nursing implementation science (IS) program at Inova. As a nurse working at this health care system, I’d like to share how I benefited from being in the first cohort of nurses trained and engaged in IS over the last three years.

Following a stroke, when a first-time convulsive seizure is witnessed or an electrographic one is detected by continuous EEG monitoring, many patients are appropriately started on antiseizure medications (ASMs). Sometimes, however, patients without evidence of seizure may be prescribed ASMs. Most are discharged from the hospital on ASMs. While 65% to 80% of these patients never have another seizure, many remain on ASMs for months or even years.

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

Even though his mother was a nurse for 40 years, Milton Clark says his plan as a first-year college student was to become an electrical engineer. “I graduated high school at 16 years old, and having attended small schools my entire life, a large university overwhelmed me,” says Milton, who grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.

Increased pressures in finance, supply chain and employee hiring and retention affect every aspect of running a hospital. All of this makes strong leadership more important than ever. But do leadership training approaches traditionally used in business always work well when applied to experts in healthcare?

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.

Nursing Inquiry

Abstract Value–act relationships are less secure than is commonly supposed and this insecurity is leveraged to address two questions. First, can nurses refuse professional value claims (e.g., claims regarding care and compassion)? Second, even when value claims are accepted, might values be held provisionally and tentatively? These questions may seem absurd.
