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.

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.

I have been involved in some complex and challenging cases lately. As I reflect on my role, I realize that my role is mainly as a disruptor. Yes, case managers are disrupters. We are in place to disrupt the status quo. If you have not experienced the healthcare system firsthand, it is fragmented, uncoordinated, complex, and sometimes downright mean, and it is getting worse.

Legislation to remove Collaborative Arrangement laws that will allow nurse practitioners and endorsed midwives to work to their full scope of practice came into effect last Friday.

The laws have historically prevented nurses from providing Medicare subsidised services and prescribing certain medications available on the Pharmaceutica

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
