Are you taking care of yourself? As NPs, we excel in telling patients how important it is to take care of themselves. But how well are we taking care of ourselves personally and professionally? Do we follow our own advice? Some of us do, but I’m afraid for some of us, self-care remains a struggle. What is Self-Care? If you’re thinking about candles, a sip of wine or two, quiet music, and the like, you’re on the right track.

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

Is nursing a science-based profession? To you, the answer to that question may seem stunningly obvious. Given the importance of nursing in such concepts as evidence-based care and critical thinking, to regard nursing as anything but a science seems misinformed at best. And yet, nursing is blocked from accessing over $1 billion in funding because some parts of the federal government fail to designate nursing as a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) field.
