This post is dedicated to all the other nurse family members and friends out there. As the emergency nurse in my family and friend circle, I am almost always one of the first calls or texts by people when they wind up in the ER or have a loved one that is an emergency patient. First and foremost - I always tell the person on the other end of my call or text that I am so sorry that this is happening but please know that if you or your loved one is being taken to the emergency department, you most

Life of a Nurse

JANUARY 30, 2022

There was much hope for 2021 as we lined up for vaccines to mediate the effects of COVID-19, the easing of restrictions that gave us a window to gather in larger groups i.e., arenas and to celebrate the winter holiday of Christmas with family and friends. Then the year ended battered, bruised, and with a parting gift of a highly transmissible COVID-19 variant.

Today’s workforce includes multiple generations of employees all looking for something different from their benefits package. While meeting these disparate needs can be challenging, a comprehensive fertility benefit can support everyone from junior staffers learning about their fertility health to senior leadership managing menopause and low testosterone symptoms.

It has been brought to my attention by a post from @newthingnurse that some Members of Congress and hospital administrators are trying to cap the wages of travel nurses due to the burden of the pandemic. If nurses were valued historically as a profession, we would not be in this predicament. We would not feel the urge to leave and earn money traveling to pay off loans and support our families and it is likely that hospitals would have been staffed appropriately prior to the pandemic, thus decrea

There are large disparities in mental healthcare across races and ethnicities in the U.S. Many factors contribute to the poor mental health outcomes of minority populations. Such as: Inaccessible mental healthcare services. Transportation issues, difficulty finding childcare/taking time off work. Lacking health insurance coverage. Cultural stigma regarding mental healthcare.

Highlights. Newly licensed nurses transitioning into clinical practice can experience stress, uncertainty, and lack of confidence. If left unaddressed, these negative perspectives can impact turnover rates within the first year. Prior to the pandemic, nurse turnover was already an existing challenge and amidst numerous disruptions, this has only been exacerbated.

Patient-facing Black and ethnic minority workers who have not had the COVID-19 vaccine risk losing their jobs. Overwhelming data in clinical and non-clinical roles reveal that there is a higher percentage of us in Bands 2-6 in health and social care. When you observe the trend in Band 7 and above it drops dramatically. The uptake in vaccine will no doubt be looked upon within these groups of workers.

As a human services leader, you spend every day thinking of new ways to help your community. But unlike your days in the field working directly with persons served, your position as a leader means building out systems so your organization can help as many people as possible, as efficiently as possible. One way of doing this, which often goes overlooked, is to create a continuous learning culture through upskilling and reskilling programs.

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
