Do you have a fair amount of outstanding patient balances and difficulties collecting? Well, you’re not alone. It’s common, particularly in small practices, to struggle with collecting money from patients. Most patients never blink an eye when asked for their co-pay, deductible, or other balances. They do everything they can to pay on time and in full.

I’m feeling like I want to cry, need a good cry—release, tears of joy, tears of anguish—the yin and the yang of life.

You feel, you fall, you pick yourself […] The post On Crying first appeared on Donna Cardillo, RN.

I attended a dear friend’s viewing last week, a man who touched many lives as an educator, cultural community leader, and a spiritually jolly man who left us; suddenly after a short illness. Afterwards, a friend who has been through many caretaking challenges for about a decade; we headed to an Irish pub, where we enjoyed a pint and reminisced about our friend no longer with us.

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

Nursing schools are the gateway to the profession. But when racism is prevalent at the collegiate level , the racial, structural, and institutional inequities entrenched in these programs have a profound impact. Workforce composition, the development of future educators and administrators, student success, and the overall health and well-being of society are at risk when racism in nursing education persists.

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.

Nursing is a dynamic and rewarding profession as one navigates the boundaries of art and science. The edges can be blurred when practices are vague and not supported by evidence, and ambiguity can be a nemesis. Futility presents many challenges to the health care team to navigate ethical practices with patient conditions that are observed and assessed as having the hallmark of suffering.

In April, I interviewed Seattle-based housing advocate and consultant Ginger Segel. I know a lot about health policy, especially as it relates to care for people experiencing homelessness. I do not know as much about housing policy as I would like to, so I was eager to hear her stories and perspectives. Segel first spoke of how, as a student at Columbia University in NYC, she witnessed the role of the university in displacing low-income people in the expanding area around the university.
