California passed a law, AB-890, effective January 1, 2023, giving NPs in their state more autonomy than they previously enjoyed. It’s being implemented in a stepwise fashion. And like many laws, it’s rather confusing for everyone involved. On January 12, 2022, NPBO was lucky enough to host a webinar with Melanie Balestra who is a nurse practitioner and an attorney in California, where she spent nearly 2 hours answering questions.

Have you learned the art of delegation in nursing? Or are you quickly burning out and constantly staying late to chart and complete tasks because you feel it’s faster and easier if you do it all yourself? Delegation is an art and a science. You need to understand how and when to do it, but sometimes it’s essential and you need to practice before it gets that desperate.

Are you a risk taker ? We all have our safety blankets… Our nets to break the fall… Our mitigation strategies. But is the New Year beckoning you to try something new? Maybe something a teeny bit uncomfortable ? What if you chose to consciously shift your behavior from reflecting your TITLE to a more relational leadership style? If you chose to become a person who can be known and who can know others, as persons, not as merely employees?

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 number of patients assigned to each nurse varies from hospital to hospital, but nurses say they are being asked to care for more patients than they can handle. If the nurse-patient ratio is too high, nurses might not have time to do everything that’s required of them in a day. They may end up working overtime or forgo breaks just to get it all done, which can lead to burnout and higher turnover rates that leave the remaining nurses short staffed.

It may have been a comment you heard long before graduating from nursing school — the one about nurses “eating their young.” It’s a statement that is unfortunately true for some nurses. For a profession seen as the most honest and ethical , it would seem unlikely that nurse bullying could be an issue that many nurses face. But the bullying that some nurses face hastens their departure from the profession and leads to high turnover rates and contributes to the already severe nursing shortage.
