Respirator design is constantly improving and evolving to meet new challenges.

Getting into a top Nurse Practitioner (NP) program can be extremely competitive, thus every aspect of an application should be superior. That means, even if the applicant has a high GPA, a decent GRE score, and stellar recommendations, the personal statement should not be forgotten. However, the personal statement portion of the application can terrorize even the best applicants.

Telehealth is nothing new. In fact, the distribution of health-related services and information via telecommunication technologies can be traced back as far as 1948, when radiologic images were sent via telephone. The evolution and broad adoption of telehealth, however, has been slow. Advances were made in 2016 when The Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) received 16 million U.S. dollars in an effort to expand rural access to the telehealth services.

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

Needlestick injuries have the potential to transmit bloodborne pathogens (BBP), like hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
