Nurses dedicate their lives to caring for others, but unfortunately, many do not feel supported at work. The American Nurses Association conducted a survey in 2023 that indicated that 2/3 of nurses who said they are suffering mental anguish or toxic emotions are either not seeking or not receiving mental health support, which is a horrifying statistic (American Nurses Association, 2023).

Any nurse has the opportunity to be published, which can open the doors of possibility and reveal unforeseen career opportunities. Why Get Published? Dottie Roberts, EdD, MSN, MACI, RN, OCNS-C, CMSRN, CNE, has been the editor of the MEDSURG Nursing journal since 2002 and sees getting published as an equal opportunity.

Contrary to what most men believe, their bodies aren’t bulletproof. As men age, the body does indeed change. The most common issues are some of the more confronting – prostate enlargement, weight gain, rising blood pressure, and heart problems are likely to occur. Serious conditions such as diabetes, bowel cancer, liver problems, and urinary issues are also more common than most men realise.

September has always been the month I have made career changes. It is because this is the time of year when school starts, and we all begin with a clean slate. Over the holiday weekend, I had time to reflect on my career. I have had a great career, with some great experiences that enabled me to grow and see things from many points of view. If I had it to do over again, I would have gotten my bachelor’s in nursing, followed by a master’s in nursing.

Nursing is one of the hardest jobs in the country, and the first few years can be a wake-up call to aspiring providers trying to find their place in the healthcare industry. Many new nurses quickly realize that nursing isn’t for them, while others wind up in jobs that make them want to quit. Studies show 33% of new nurses leave the workforce within the first two years largely due to poor work-life balance, unsafe working conditions, and the emotional strain that comes with caring for patients a
