There is a lot of confusion surrounding nurse resumes. Here are a few nurse resume myths that just aren’t true! Myth : I have to list every job that I ever had on my nurse resume. FALSE. Truth: Nurse resumes are FOCUSED documents that ideally only list the last 5-10 (usually just 5) years of NURSE experience. If you are a new grad with no nurse experience, list your healthcare experience.

As we absorb the day to day headlines of the latest sovereign nation to be invaded, we see nebulous infrastructure coming apart. The poignancy of young babes moved to basement shelters and nurses supporting their breathing efforts with bag-mask-ventilation. Communities function in a complex interplay of services provided i.e., water, sanitation, garbage pick up and essential services including police, fire, paramedics, and health care providers.

Healthcare organizations have a growing responsibility to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts not only for their employees, but also to better serve patients and their families. DEI has been a recent focus for businesses and organizations across the world, but perhaps none stand to make a greater impact than the healthcare industry, as it directly affects patient health outcomes and quality of life in a profound way.

HIPAA. The Physician Self-Referral Law (aka Stark law). The Anti-Kickback Statute. Price transparency. These and many other regulations keep healthcare compliance teams on track toward compliance, safety, and continuing quality improvement. According to the American Hospital Association’s Regulatory Overload Report, healthcare organizations spend $39 billion per year on activities to comply with 629 federal regulatory requirements.

If you’re a leader struggling to shift your department from a negative to a positive work environment, you’re not alone. One of the most common complaints we hear from healthcare leaders is that their employees are so negative. From the time they walk in until they leave, they complain and blame. Everything is gloom and doom. As a result, morale is low and the good, positive employees are leaving in droves.

The prospect of a spouse needing nursing home care is one of the biggest financial worries for couples.

A nurse’s compassion has the power to heal. It also has the ability to exhaust the nurse’s energy. Work that involves caring for and supporting others can be highly fulfilling. However, the exposure to ailing people on a regular basis can also cause what is known as “compassion fatigue.” Compassion fatigue, also called secondary traumatic stress, results from exposure to traumatized individuals.

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

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.

One of the things that I have always loved about nursing social media is that hierarchies are irrelevant. The way that a nursing student can contact a chief nursing officer, or a director of nursing can chat with a newly qualified nurse, or even a professor of nursing can engage with a person who is merely thinking about coming into nursing is so valuable.

You’ve chosen one of the most selfless career paths. As a nurse, you devote every working day to taking care of others (and most likely, on your off days as well). Serving in a profession that is riddled with long shifts, high stress, few breaks, and little time to catch your breath between patients, it’s important to make yourself a priority.

Nurses are the front-line of patient care and often spend time around their patient's family and loved ones. It's important for family and friends to be there, but in a highly emotional environment, sometimes those visitors can become a challenge.
