Use your voice for those who can’t speak up. I’ve been a nurse for 46 years, serving in positions from critical care staff nurse to chief nurse executive. Last year, I faced a new role: cancer patient. After experiencing post-menopausal spotting, I consulted my gynecologist who performed a cervical biopsy. A few days later, I learned that I had endometrial cancer.

Nurses are integral to every community, and not just from the perspective of simply providing critical medical services. Your field experiences have likely made it clear to you that you impact patients’ lives through your empathy, social sensitivity, and hard-earned knowledge. One of the often overlooked areas in which nurses are influential is helping to address injustice, even environmental racism.

Whispering to us the something new will turn out to be dangerous, stupid, foolish, trite, beneath your dignity, above your pay grade. whatever. One trick to counter this is to name your little voice.

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

While much of this is good, I think it needs to be examined more closely. As someone with the lived experience of homelessness when I was a young adult in my then hometown of Richmond, Virginia, it is a concept that I wrestle with.
