Jungle medical improv no joke For many, summer is a time to hunker down and read a good novel. Instead, I'm re-reading a non-fiction history/action/adventure book about the untold story of #women (specifically focusing on the nurses) trapped in the Philippines during #WorldWarII , "We Band of Angels," by Elizabeth M. Norman. It's a reality page-turner, on all accounts.

A few friends were with me, all nurses, and we recalled some of the CPR events we have been involved in. A pivotal point to consider by all Nurses, Physicians, and Respiratory Therapists is that a patient may die even if the team did everything correctly. An underlying condition such as left outflow tract stenosis or blockage translates into limited to no effect when CPR is provided–optimal management aside, many sources reported up to 2019 a range of percentages of individuals making it t

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

The nursing shortage is as old as the dawn of modern nursing itself. Of the 38 nurses under the supervision of Florence Nightingale and who arrived with her in Scutari on November 4, 1854, three were gone by January 1855. One was dismissed for drunkenness, another for ill health, and the third for incompetence—these reasons for leaving or being asked to leave nursing resonate in modern times.

It has been said that in business, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to get to a potential buyer. The more frogs that say no, the closer you are to “yes”. Unfortunately, we as nurses are programmed that if someone says “no” to us, we tend to take it personally. But “no” just means “not now”. “No” is nothing personal. How many times do you say no and it’s nothing personal?

We’ve heard the expression “nurses eat their young,” but things have arguably gotten even worse over the last couple years. Nurses are being asked to do more with fewer resources and less time than they were previously, which has led to unprecedented rates of anxiety, depression, and burnout.
