Nurses can sometimes be notorious for being the worst possible patients. Why are we frequently such bad patients, and can we do something to turn that situation around? Nurses Know Better Just the other day, I was talking with one of my patients about both shingles the disease and the shingles vaccine.

A survey reveals that falls are the most frequent health issue affecting seniors in long-term care facilities. Interestingly, while 90% of caregivers feel confident in implementing fall prevention measures, only 60% have adequate knowledge to do so effectively.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. How often did we as children say these words to those who teased us? Yet we still felt the sting that unkind and malicious words imparted, especially when said by those we trusted. And it didn’t matter if the taunts were untrue—they still hurt. Words matter—take youth bullying, for example.

Anchorage nurses say a new staffing model recently launched at Providence hospital will put patients in danger. Last week, Providence Alaska Medical Center announced it had implemented what it calls a “co-caring model” of nursing at two units of its flagship hospital in Anchorage. Instead of being attended to by a registered nurse, patients in two units will have their care shared by a virtual nurse via camera and video in the patient’s room, a certified nursing assistant and a registered nurse.

Travel Nurses Inc. provided this article. There’s never a dull moment during Halloween in the emergency department. Depending on what day Halloween falls on, there could be people in costumes for days leading up to the holiday. Walking out into the lobby to call a patient back is like walking out to a costume party. It’s entertaining when people come in a group, and they’re all dressed cohesively.

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.
