Nursing and computer science may seem like two fields that are unlikely to intersect with one another very often. However, behind every nurse providing care in clinics and hospitals across the country is a wealth of technology and data and the professionals responsible for developing these technologies and analyzing this data are known as nursing informatics professionals.

Across the U.S., nurse practitioner students face the same problem. Like medical doctors, they need to complete clinical rotations to graduate. Unlike doctors, they don't have access to federal funding to support that training, and their schools often leave them to find their own clinical preceptors. The stakes are high. For many students, it's the only time they'll work with real patients as an NP before entering the workforce.

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
