Everyone, it seems, is burned out these days. Frontline nurses, doctors, public health workers, and other healthcare providers who are weathering yet another vicious turn in the COVID-19 pandemic. Frontline service providers, short-staffed and short supplied. Parents struggling to parent well amidst the crazy-making politicized strife over a safe return of their children to in-person teaching at schools.

Now that I am no longer required to don any type of conformist herd clothing, I have been reflecting on the uniforms I have worn over the years. What is it about uniforms that I loved as a kid, and hated as an adult? I suspect it is because the hype never lived up to the reality, so uniforms were vastly disappointing. I attended public school, so no uniform.

What is one of the best ways to decide if becoming a nurse practitioner (NP) is right for you? Shadow the role! Shadowing a nurse practitioner gives you an opportunity beyond looking up what NPs can do and witness the day-to-day of this career. You can see where NPs work, what NPs do, who NPs work with, and how NPs do their job. It’s also a great opportunity to ask questions about the profession.

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

As a clinician, you’re accustomed to fielding patients’ questions and managing skepticism over various treatments. In some cases, a patient’s hunger for information is a positive sign that they’re invested in their health and will be dedicated to their prescribed care plan. But, when patients have the wrong information, it can lead to noncompliance or full-on refusal of care.

My experience of racism in the workplace is real and painful because it's not only the racism but the wickedness that follows. The following account is my true personal experience. As a Nurse born in Africa I am brought up to treat everyone with love, respect and dignity. In my country of origin, the word racism only exists in the dictionary. Never in my wildest dreams did I envision being the victim of racism or being caught up in an institution that was built on a white superiority construct.

Some months back I posed the question: "Would I recommend nursing as a career?" That is a tough one. My answer isn't an emphatic "yes". It isn't an emphatic "no", either. The job I trained for, and did well, has ceased to exist. Now that I'm retired, I don't miss the constant struggle of trying to do the job that I knew could, and should, be done. And feeling not good about it all the time.
