I met Helen Perry through the Emergency Nurses Association grapevine and the almighty Facebook. Helen is a Nurse Practitioner and veteran of the United States Army as well as an Emergency Nurse sister, and I could not be happier that our paths collided as she is a most inspiring nurse leader and humanitarian. Let me tell you about Helen Perry… After serving five years as a nurse in the military, Helen went to Georgetown University and received her Nurse Practitioner (NP) degree.

It had snowed 2 days before. Not much, just a couple of inches of fluffy, sugary white stuff. For days, her little footprints were still clearly visible. Into the woods behind my house. Headed half way to my neighbors house to check on his dog. The flattened area where she rolled. She loved to roll in snow. The steady cold weather ensured that those footprints would remain undisturbed for weeks.

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 purpose of a triage interview is to gain pertinent information about the patient as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is best to let the person triaging direct the questions. It saves a lot time. It helps when it is actually not painful. In truth, it is acutely painful at times. While I was watching the Wizard of Oz recently, it occurred to me that explaining how the triage interview works can be compared to the tale of how Dorothy comes to be present in Oz.

Whispyhistory / CC BY-SA Look back in history, and you’ll surely find that during every tragedy, war, or disaster, nurses were on the front lines. From Florence Nightingale roaming between rows of beds, filled with wounded soldiers, carrying an oil lamp to light her way, to modern day nurses who travel in dangerous, underdeveloped parts of the world to provide care to those who need it the most, we’ve always been there.

Olena Kachmar/123RF.com Rural health care is in the national spotlight, so there’s no better time to separate facts from fiction as health professionals start job searches and careers. Too often new health professionals have limited exposure to rural practice, so let’s set the record straight.

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.

ER nurses are really good at IV's. Patients who profess to have "bad veins, being a really hard stick" and ask for someone "very experienced with difficult veins" are frequently not all that difficult.if you know where to look. It begs the question, "how do you get good at starting difficult IV's if you don't do it often enough to get good at it?" Often patients who will pick their IV spot have done so repeatedly, so "that one good vein" is no longer a viable option.
