How many times have you been out in public when someone asks you what you do and you respond, “I’m a nurse.” Bland. Generic. Nondescript. That type of response promotes the false notion that all nurses are alike, do the same thing, and are basically interchangeable. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Case […] The post Why Nurses Need an Elevator Speech first appeared on Donna Cardillo, RN.
Writing patient educational materials can be a great niche for nurses who love to write and a natural means to grow a freelance career as a nurse writer. The following article, Nutrition in Pregnancy , by Melissa Murphy RN, is a great example of solid patient education. Patient Education Patient education is a huge part of nursing. Education can begin with the physician or other practitioner, but the major portion of the education falls to the nurses.
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) often need guidance in navigating the complex landscape of business ownership. This is where NPBO can help. Over the years, we’ve seen a significant growth in the number of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) who have chosen to open and operate their own clinical practices and businesses. However, they will tell you this is not something they’ve learned in school.

Today’s workforce includes multiple generations of employees all looking for something different from their benefits package. While meeting these disparate needs can be challenging, a comprehensive fertility benefit can support everyone from junior staffers learning about their fertility health to senior leadership managing menopause and low testosterone symptoms.
The U.S. has an all-time record number of actively licensed nurses — 5.6 million — but hospitals are struggling to recruit and retain enough. To discover missed opportunities, researchers surveyed 7,887 nurses who recently exited the healthcare industry.
I had an eventful April when I face planted on the driveway of my house, blood from a gash on my forehead dripping steadily drew a crowd (more than 3 people) and they decided to call 911. I, of course as a nurse, commented I’m sure that’s not needed but the amount of blood at that point was hmmm maybe it was a good idea. All is well now, sutures dissolved, small fracture on face, had a black eye for a few days otherwise I recovered fairly quickly.

Diversity in innovation is critical not only for the creation of solutions that meet everyone’s needs, but to bring a wide range of professional and lived experiences to the process. However, a 2016 study by Nager and colleagues of the demographic make-up of innovation in the United States found that women represented just 12% of all innovators. Asian, Black, Hispanic, Native American, and other races represented just 8%.
I absolutely love training new grad nurses. Their excitement and fresh look at the profession transports me back to fifteen-plus years ago when I first started. I work midnight’s so I have the pleasure of fine-tuning all the information that the day shift preceptors taught. Things I like to focus on are the importance of teamwork as well as the art of delegating as a new nurse.
Medical coding is more than the CPT code we submit for a patient visit. It also includes the ICD-10 codes. Nothing new there. But one of the things that may not be as clear is how specific your ICD-10 code needs to be, particularly when it comes to being able to document, code, and submit a claim for more complex patient visits. In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Alicia Scott, CPC, CPC-I, CRC about coding.
A growing proportion of nurses say incidents of violence and aggression they face on the job have become routine. As a result, many are considering an exit from the profession altogether.

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
The 2024 Virtual Nursology Theory Week is now history, so it is now time to make sure you save the date for 2025! March 20-24, 2025.

Temitope (Temi) Oseromi, MSN, RN, CCRN-K, became the nurse manager of GBMC Healthcare’s Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) and Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) in early 2022. She’s the only nurse manager overseeing two units, but Oseromi was also tasked with rebuilding a decimated MICU. During the COVID-19 pandemic, frontline medical staff were hit the hardest in terms of stress, uncertainty, and burnout, especially those nurses working in Intensive Care Units.
There were 97 reported cases of measles in the first quarter of the year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports, representing nearly a third of all cases since the beginning of 2020. “Risk for widespread U.S. measles transmission remains low because of high population immunity,” the CDC wrote in a report released last week. “However, because of the increase in cases during the first quarter of 2024, additional activities are needed to increase U.S. routin

Employee expectations around benefits and workplace support have evolved in step with the growing need for fertility and family-forming care. As HR professionals, it is our job to ensure employees have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits our organizations offer and how they can utilize them. Before educating employees, we first need to understand the rising healthcare costs and the financial burden of fertility care.
There was a time when we didn’t have the option to start an independent practice. Unfortunately, in almost half of US states, we still don’t. But times are changing, and I am confident the number of states with full practice will increase. While full practice is not required to start a practice, not having to secure a collaborator or deal with supervision certainly makes life easier.
Enrollment in BSN programs at nursing schools across the U.S. held steady in 2023, though fewer students are entering in master's and PhD programs, according to new data from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.

As HR and total rewards professionals, we are often seeking opportunities to foster a better sense of community and belonging amongst employees - ensuring that all employees have an equitable opportunity to receive fertility treatments is one of the many ways this can be achieved. Fertility benefits make it possible for employees to access treatments like IVF.
It is not a new concept to have someone support women and birthing people during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Doulas, or labor birth companions, typically women, have been an integral part of childbearing throughout history; they provide information, patient advocacy, and physical support. Doulas increase a person’s satisfaction with the birthing experience, raise the likelihood… The post Forging Policy: How Can Doulas Improve Black Maternal Health?
Change is difficult. Many individuals made New Year’s resolutions surrounding diet and physical activity, but 3 months into 2024, some have begun to falter. Anyone who’s tried to make a change in their routine knows how difficult it can be to make long-term, sustainable changes, and it’s a particularly big challenge in obesity management. So how can we as clinicians support our patients to not only make changes, but maintain behaviors related to diet and physical activity over the long-term?
Dorma Liz Davila (Lizzy) RN, BSN, CPN, EMT never expected a quick volunteer weekend as a camp nurse to provide a transformative experience, but it did.

As AONL 2024 continues, nurse leaders are brainstorming how to integrate technology into their workflows. After day one at AONL 2024, it's clear that nurse leaders and executives have a few common goals in mind to tackle workforce concerns. Virtual nursing It's no secret that the largest issue facing nursing today is staffing. CNOs are working hard to lower turnover rates by improving recruitment and retention efforts, and many of them are incorporating virtual nursing as a way to do that.
