I often see/hear new nurses referring to themselves as “newbie nurses” or “baby nurses,” inferring that they are just starting out in the profession. Imagine if a new attorney said, “I’m a baby lawyer,” or a new physician said, “I’m a newbie doctor.” It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? That’s because this language is demeaning, unprofessional, […] The post I Am a Baby Nurse.

Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 48,100 people losing their lives to suicide per year (National Institute of Mental Health, 2024).

I have to tell them, Brian. I have to tell them this story, our story, your story. Tell them that for five years, you fought, and you fought hard. There is no denying how hard you tried. Doctors, counselors, medications, and battle after battle. I watched you fight your demons right in front of me. I have to tell them how you promised me you would never leave us.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Critical Care (AJCC) reveals that sepsis survivors are at a significant risk of being readmitted to the hospital, especially those who were discharged to home health care or home settings. Despite the success of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign, which has reduced sepsis prevalence and related deaths by nearly 30% from 1990 through 2017, there is a growing concern about the post-discharge outcomes for survivors.

I recently found an envelope that belonged to my parents with all my elementary, junior high, and high school report cards. In the early years, the report cards were on cardboard stock folded in half with handwritten grades on the inner pages and teacher comments on the back cover. There was a space for parents to sign the report card and acknowledge that they had seen it.

Ninety-seven percent of nurses voted in favor of authorizing a strike at Mission Hospital in Asheville over Labor Day weekend. This display of unity does not guarantee a strike will occur, but gives the union’s bargaining team the authority to call a strike if deemed necessary. This vote has the potential to give the union much more leverage in its negotiations with HCA, the Tennessee-based for-profit hospital chain that acquired the hospital’s parent company, Mission Health, in 2019.
