Being a nurse is a rewarding career that can come with unexpected challenges. COVID-19 has shifted the way nurses traditionally work and brought to the forefront issues such as staff shortages, burnout , and the risk of job-related injuries. Now, the healthcare field is shifting its focus to AI technology as nurses pivot to learn new trends and tools that impact their daily work, all while news of hospital layoffs and nurse unemployment dominate the news cycle.

In Nursing, there are moments when the clock seems to slow down, not because the shift is quiet, but because the weight of the situation demands your full presence. Whether it’s holding a patient’s hand before a major surgery or being the first face they see after hearing life-altering news, these are the moments when trust is not just helpful, it’s essential.

Ambient listening technology in its simplest form records and transcribes conversations between a patient and a clinician during appointments.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and immigrant nurse practitioner, my career has been deeply shaped by service to underserved communities, particularly in Queens, New York. Since 2017, I have practiced at Elmhurst Hospital and nearby outpatient clinics, including Queens Pulmonary Medical Care. These settings are lifelines for a richly diverse, immigrant-heavy population that frequently faces disparities in healthcare access, insurance coverage, and health literacy.

This puzzles me… How is it that NPs can provide safe, high-quality, independent care during a pandemic but cannot do the same once the pandemic is over (as is the case in some states)? Meanwhile, research consistently shows that NP care is safe, effective, and well-received by patients. So why don’t NPs, in some states, have full practice authority, even though it means better access to care, especially in underserved areas?

Let’s get real about workplace violence in healthcare – and not just the kind that makes headlines. While physical assaults are rising, what’s often missed is the emotional and psychological violence that’s just as damaging. Sabotage, exclusion, undermining – these quieter behaviors are forms of violence too, and they’re happening every day in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities across the country.

Your shift might be long, but your well-being shouldn’t be shortchanged. Nurses are often so focused on others’ healing that their health takes a backseat.

These strategies aren’t aspirational fluff; instead, they’re designed to fit seamlessly into your already busy reality.
