Cover Letters: Do I need one? By: Sarah K. Wells, MSN, RN, CEN, CNL Cover letters were once a standard MUST for every job application. Times have changed and with the transition to computer-based job applications, cover letters are now NOT necessary for most new job opportunities.

In FPA states, the NP workforce tends to be more diverse and better racially and ethnically aligned with the state's overall population, a new West Virginia study says. Granting full practice authority (FPA) to nurse practitioners (NPs) is a “costless” way to help communities of color address healthcare access disparities, say authors of a new West Virginia University study.

In healthcare and nursing, there’s always so much in our career we can say no to; however, there are plenty of things we find ourselves saying yes to. Granted, it’s always empowering to say no to things like working a double shift when you’re exhausted, accepting bullying and incivility as normal, working without adequate PPE, and unsafe staffing levels that put your license and your patients at risk.

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

In the long struggle to gain full practice authority (FPA), nurse practitioners (NPs) can point to notable advances in the last few years. Now, patients in more than half of the states, the District of Columbia, and two U.S. territories have full, direct healthcare access from NPs. In April 2022, New York and Kansas granted FPA to NPs. That brings to 26 the number of states where NPs can practice to the top of their license without restriction.

Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a crucial piece of the behavioral health landscape. It’s a framework that puts the person at the center of care and allows their needs to drive the approach to care. In true TIC, the practitioner will ask “What happened to you?” rather than “What’s wrong with you.” Many behavioral health organizations have started to use TIC practices when interacting with clients, as well as staff.

A key message from both school nursing leaders that I heard loud and clear was that we needed to tell our own stories.
