One of the biggest challenges as a nurse is working those long, 12-hour (+) shifts, with small snack breaks, and needing to keep your energy up the entire time. It’s a lot to handle! And I know firsthand as my mom was a shift nurse for over 40 years. I watched her juggle working overnights, getting me off to school in the morning, and getting her well-deserved sleep.

A recent article identified The Joint Commission’s Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) process as “costly, ineffective, and potentially harmful”. While The Joint Commission issued a statement countering this contention, conversations we’ve had with other healthcare systems indicate they agree.

When Socrates famously said, “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom,” and that the unexamined life is not worth living, he certainly wasn’t thinking about the 21st-century nursing professional.

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
