Emerging RN Leader
OCTOBER 13, 2024
By Rose O. Sherman, EdD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN During almost every workshop I conduct, nurse leaders today express frustration about working with some staff who make things so difficult in the work environment. Consider the following example from a critical care manager: I am new, so maybe some of my staff are testing how far […] The post When You Are Managing Difficult Staff appeared first on Emerging Nurse Leader.

Although only 1% of Seattle’s population identifies as Indigenous, “hundreds of years of colonization, systemic racism, broken treaties, forced reservations, and more have resulted in native peoples making up a startling 15% of Seattle’s homeless population,” as well as 32% of people experiencing chronic homelessness (quote from the Chief Seattle website).

Although domestic violence frequently occurs within the private realm, it’s not a private matter. Domestic violence can involve physical, sexual, and psychological injuries of intimate partners or family members. It affects people of all ages and socioeconomic statuses, yet disproportionately affects historically marginalized groups, such as women of color.

Assisted living facilities are a lifeline for elderly and vulnerable individuals who need care and support in a safe, nurturing environment. Yet, even in these compassionate settings, caregivers often face the challenge of managing aggressive behaviors among residents. Imagine the case of Mrs. Stevens, a once gentle and kind woman who, after the onset of dementia, began exhibiting sudden outbursts of anger.

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

Is it hard to become a nurse? Yes. Will it be worth the effort? It will be. If you’re thinking about getting an associate degree or bachelor’s in nursing—or if you’re a working registered nurse (RN) who’s contemplating earning your graduate degree—it’s normal to wonder, “Is nursing school hard?”. Nursing requires more dedication than many other careers.

Nurses age like everyone else, and you may be a nurse who finds yourself getting older, with decreasing levels of physical stamina and less willingness to push your body to its limits. Slogging away at those 12-hour shifts makes for significant wear and tear, and maybe you feel it’s time for a change because that kind of strain is no longer compatible with your evolving health.

It’s Case Management Week, and I want to share a story about my first encounter with a patient, which led me to a career in case management. I first learned about case management in 1984 when I worked in Philadelphia in the Respiratory ICU. I was caring for a young woman who was diagnosed with advanced ALS. She was sent to the Respiratory ICU to have a planned tracheostomy so she could be put on a vent because her lungs were failing her.

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 school nurses, we have a unique perspective on the health and safety of our students, and advocating for secure gun storage is an essential part of our role in protecting children.

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. Before educating employees, we first need to understand the rising healthcare costs and the financial burden of fertility care.

In neonatal care, technical skills and medical knowledge are essential. Yet, soft skills are critically important as well. As frontline healthcare providers, neonatal nursing professionals interact with some of the most vulnerable patients and their families, making their ability to communicate, empathize, and collaborate nearly just as critical as their clinical expertise.

We've all heard the stories — the whispers in the break room, the knowing glances during staff meetings. But the reality is much harsher than any of us want to admit. For too long, many of us in healthcare, especially Black nurses, midwives and carers have found ourselves trapped in a system designed to hold us back. What hurts the most is when some of us, those who've reached higher positions of power, such as the bands eight and above, don't fight for the change we desperately n

When a natural disaster happens, there may be little or no time to prepare. Areas across the U.S. know this all too well. With only a few days’ notice of an incoming hurricane, a few minutes for a deadly tornado — or no notice at all for a fire, earthquake, active shooter, or other sudden calamity — advance planning is the only way to mitigate potentially deadly impacts.
