If you are not sure if you are an independent contractor or not, don’t worry, you are not alone. Employment laws are not always clear, and as I examine both the IRS 20-point checklist as well as the ABC rules which should simplify things, you’ll see that for Nurse Practitioners, it’s full of grayness. Let’s dive in and see if we can untangle the complex web of guidelines and legalities.

We’ve all heard the statistics about the growing need for trained healthcare professionals, especially nurses, within our society. Federal estimates indicate that not nearly enough people are entering the field to meet the projected healthcare needs of the coming decades. Although the overall need is concerning, the issue is particularly acute in rural communities.

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.

At one time or another, all of us experience failure. If you run a business, you could face losing it because of the business failing. Naturally, we don’t like failure; it doesn’t feel good. But even though we all fail repeatedly… As children, we must learn how to walk. We keep falling until we know how to walk; we fail until we succeed. The same happens when we learn to read, ride a bike, or swim.

Conferences are a great place to learn new things, meet other people in your field, network, and amplify your work. They also can be a great place to meet people in other fields, depending on the conferences you attend. I frequently talk with colleagues about the need for nurses to attend more “non-nursing conferences,” especially those geared to innovation.

Every organization or workplace in healthcare or any other industry has a workplace culture , whether those working there are conscious of it or not. The best workplace cultures are consciously and proactively created by everyone involved, and the worst cultures exist without a shred of intention. But what exactly is workplace culture, and how do you know your organization’s culture?

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

Employee expectations around benefits and workplace support have evolved in step with the growing need for fertility and family-forming care. As HR professionals, it is our job to ensure employees have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits our organizations offer and how they can utilize them.

In 2020, suicide was the second cause of death among people aged 10 to 14 and the third leading cause of death for people aged 15 to 24.

Speaking from personal experience, many terms (antecedent, parallelism, noun absolutes, etc.) used in perfecting the writings of the proper English language are foreign to nurses. Granted, as advanced practice nurses, we have practically written a novel of information by the time we graduate from our master’s program and are still unfamiliar with many English language terms other than APA writing style.
