By Donna Cardillo The inevitable had happened. My mother-in-law, three months shy of her 100th birthday, passed away. I knew it would be my responsibility to empty her apartment and pack up or dispose of her belongings. Why me, the daughter-in-law? Because I was her primary caregiver. Both of her sons were ill or disabled … The Daughter-in-Law Read More » The post The Daughter-in-Law first appeared on Donna Cardillo, RN.

Hearing about Medicare cuts causes a provider’s blood to run cold. Let’s look deeper – are they really cuts? Will you really lose money by seeing Medicare patients? I am constantly asked “Should I opt out of Medicare?” and/or “Should I start or switch to a cash-only practice?” by NPs who are new to business and those who have been in practice for years.

As we reflect on reasons to be grateful, I’m so pleased to have had the opportunity to study the work of Florence Nightingale (1810-1920). What can we moderns learn from her? SO many things, First, she was a trailblazer. In the 1800s, a woman who stepped out of her comfort zone and went into the male-dominated world of influence was asking for trouble.

My former late and great writing mentor, Waverly Fitzgerald, had those of us in her Shipping Group (a writing support and accountability group) do an end-of-year review of our writing. Being an accountability group focused on ‘shipping’ pieces of writing and writing-related grant applications, it ended up being more of a tally sheet: useful when starting out on my writing life.

Will was the first book that I read for the year. Nonfiction is one of my favorite genres as I love to read about people’s life stories, and this did not disappoint. The book shares Will Smith’s life as a child and how he viewed his father as a hero. He shares his perspective on growing up and how his upbringing was influenced by his father’s disciplined lifestyle and the love from his mother and “Mom-Mom” (his grandmother.

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.

If you have been following me for a while now, you know that I think sabbaticals are amazing. Even though I just completed a 9 month sabbatical, I know there are a few more going to happen before I retire. Sabbaticals, a time to recharge, reset, and reinvigorate yourself can seem like a dream to most. As some of my friends have told me, sabbaticals are unrealistic in life.

The present state of 21st century health care has begun to spur a greater need to reevaluate what should be expected of nurse leadership — especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In many academic studies and articles, transformational leadership has been identified as the model framework for nurse leaders to learn and demonstrate. Although the components are foundational, there is always room for nurse leaders to grow their leadership skills.
