Recently an NPBO Member shared with me a report on Medicare Advantage plans and the increasing amount of prior authorizations that are being required with Advantage plans. But that is just one disadvantage of these plans… If you, a family member, or a friend receive Medicare, you’re well aware of the uptick in marketing (aggressive marketing) before each annual renewal period.

My name is Amanda Brandt, and I’m a registered nurse with prior experience as an LPN. Throughout my nursing career, I’ve met many aspiring nurses who were eager to pursue their dreams of becoming a nurse, but didn’t know where to start. That was my inspiration to design the website, LPN Programs Near Me. Attending an LPN program is a great first step for someone interested in becoming a nurse, and is a path I always recommend aspiring nurses to explore.

Today’s workforce includes multiple generations of employees all looking for something different from their benefits package.

Nurses are givers, and most will agree that they didn’t join the profession for the high salaries, fancy clothes, sexy shoes, or awesome accessories. Instead, nurses are more likely to say they chose nursing because they wanted to help people. Some will tell stories of caring for a beloved family member and how that inspired them to a life of service as a healthcare professional.

Healthcare has seen significant change in recent years. The ways clinicians care for patients is different, patient and caregiver expectations are higher and staffing shortages and turnover are more prevalent. For many organizations, nursing models of care, which define how nurses and support staff deliver care, no longer align with the current environment.

Your knowledge and quick action aid a positive outcome. Takeaways: With a mortality rate exceeding 50%, acute mesenteric ischemia requires prompt nursing identification and vascular intervention. Most patients experience acute onset of abdominal pain out of proportion to a physical examination, nausea, vomiting, and melena. Prompt surgical evaluation is necessary to identify, minimize, and prevent irreversible intestinal damage.

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

Planning to leave the profession. In my current position as faculty in a university DNP program, I hear from my students about caring for overwhelming numbers of patients and fearing for their patients’ safety and health.

Nurses’ Week is all about showing providers some much-needed love and appreciation for their work, and for many nurses, that means getting a gift from a patient, colleague, employer, or loved one. But not all gifts are made equally. We asked our community of nurses to share their best and worst gifts from Nurses’ Week and, oh boy, did they deliver. Some are incredibly thoughtful and touching, while others are downright strange, and maybe even a little insulting.

Think back to your days on the playground. Were you that kid in school who always got hurt? Chances are you were cared for by a school nurse. But these professionals do more than just hand out Pepto Bismol and Band-Aids, they play a vital role in promoting the health and well-being of the communities in which they serve. School nurses develop care plans for the entire campus by giving staff and faculty the support they need to care for themselves and their students.
