Nurse Practitioners in Business

JULY 13, 2023

It’s an ongoing debate… Some view business planning as essential, whereas others think it’s optional. And some situations may or may not require a business plan. For example: Small, low-risk startups where the business owner has lots of experience or has started a business before. And there are Nurse Practitioners who “fall” into their practice. They work with another provider ready to retire, so they take over the business.

Life of a Nurse

JULY 13, 2023

Reading has been a lifelong love affair; to be literate and read for pleasure, school, or work has been a wonderful gift. I have a list of books I read and intend to read that many of you may find interesting; topics range from leadership, life view, controversy, and lifestyle. Also, some amazing fiction that entertained and made me ponder is included.

Nurses are astute clinicians often endowed with a keen helping of intuitive discernment. This ability to sense that something is wrong — or about to go wrong — has likely saved countless patients’ lives over centuries of nursing care. Whatever it is and wherever it comes from, a nurse’s intuition is something we can choose to pay heed to and to increasingly nurture, sharpen, and trust as the years go by.

Today’s workforce includes multiple generations of employees all looking for something different from their benefits package. While meeting these disparate needs can be challenging, a comprehensive fertility benefit can support everyone from junior staffers learning about their fertility health to senior leadership managing menopause and low testosterone symptoms.

If you’ve seen an increase in your paycheck in the past few years––and hopefully you have––you are part of an overall trend of increases in salaries for nurses. And, as you might expect, some of that has to do with the effects of the COVID pandemic. “We’ve seen an increase in nursing salaries, particularly since the pandemic,” says Katie Boston-Leary, PhD, MBA, MHA, RN, NEA-BC, director of nursing programs and co-lead for Project Firstline at the American Nurses Association (ANA).

A new study at Cleveland Clinic published in the Journal of American College of CardioOncology found a significant increase in major bleeding and a borderline increase in stroke risk

More than 40% of patients have experienced a “longer than reasonable” wait for healthcare, with 26% of those patients waiting more than two months for healthcare, according to a new national survey of U.S. adults released by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). As a result, nearly half of those who experienced unreasonable wait times gave up seeking an appointment and did not receive care.

There’s a new children’s book hitting the market about the wonders of organ donation. Mark Ainscough, a father and an ICU nurse at the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WWL) in the U.K., wrote the book under his pen name “Mark James” to make it easier for parents and providers to introduce the topic to children, including those with sick parents and young patients in need of life-saving organs.

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

A 12-week intervention of moderate- to high-intensity aerobic cycling significantly improved physical and overall fatigue, pain intensity and interference, and walking speed and capacity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The findings, from a Cleveland Clinic-led pilot study, suggest that aerobic exercise should be considered as part of a multifaceted approach to fatigue and pain in this population.

Health, behavioral, and social life overlap more and more as one ages. Those caring for or serving older adults can make a difference by providing support that considers the whole person. Part of this care includes building resilience in older adults. Although many older adults remain mentally healthy, the World Health Organization says about 15% of adults over 60 have a mental disorder.

Empowered Nurses

JULY 13, 2023

In the demanding world of nursing, where compassion and dedication know no bounds, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of neglecting oneself. Nurses are the unsung heroes, tirelessly tending to the needs of others, often at the expense of their own well-being. However, it’s crucial to recognize that self-care is not only vital but also a powerful tool in combating nurse burnout—a pervasive issue that affects the very essence of our profession.

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. Before educating employees, we first need to understand the rising healthcare costs and the financial burden of fertility care.
