Caregiving is an inherently demanding profession, especially within assisted living facilities, where caregivers must balance the dual responsibilities of delivering high-quality care and managing their own emotional and physical well-being. The Alzheimer’s Association’s 2024 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report highlights that 70% of dementia caregivers find coordinating care to be a significant source of stress.

As a nurse case manager, I know having a good primary care physician to partner with on my healthcare journey is essential. I have tried several doctors in my community over the years, but I felt we never were on the same page. They were always so busy; the appointment was on ‘their terms’ so they could check off the boxes instead of listening to me and my concerns.

Workplace violence in healthcare settings, especially in acute care environments, is a pressing issue.

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 and the expectations of the job have changed drastically in recent years, and CNOs need to understand why to pivot their strategies. Many things have changed in healthcare in the past few years, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of new technologies and workflows. Recruitment and retention have become increasingly more difficult for CNOs and other nurse leaders, as both new graduate nurses and tenured nurses are leaving the workforce at alarming rates.

As defined by the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing (2021, as cited in Nursingworld.org, n.d.) racism involves ‘assaults on the human spirit in the form of actions, biases, prejudices, and an ideology of superiority based on race.

Employee expectations around benefits and workplace support have evolved in step with the growing need for fertility and family-forming care.

I had three aunts who were nurses, and that family legacy certainly impacted my career choice.

Do you want to write professionally? As a former nurse peer reviewer, I found that not all nurses with advanced degrees write well. Are they smart and focused professionals? Yes. Do they conduct extraordinary research? Yes. Do they have solid experience in their nursing specialty? Yes. However, not all professionals who have something significant to impart understand and demonstrate the finer nuances of the craft of writing.
