As the building nurse at Wilson Vance Intermediate School, Nancy Rook spends a lot of time with Gunner Hartley, a fourth grader with spina bifida. The two can often be seen roaming the halls together as Rook helps Hartley manage his condition at school. Hartley uses a wheelchair, and the other children often have questions about his condition, so Rook decided to write a children’s book to show them that his disability doesn’t make him different.

Because hiring is a pressing concern for hospitals and health systems, leaders might shift focus away from nurse competency. Competing with other healthcare organizations to fill nurse vacancies creates a sense of urgency to hire, regardless of whether you’re selecting the most highly competent applicants. But instead of lowering your standards, now is the time to ensure that the nurses you hire and train are performing at their highest levels.

At this stage, you’ve been working with your article a long time and can see the end in sight (at least until you receive peer review comments), so it’s tempting to dash off a few words and hit submit.

When I worked as a staff nurse, there were times when I was treated poorly by a patient prompting me to file an incident report but honestly, it was so complicated that I justified not doing it. Like, a patient who was not cognitively intact scratching me when I was trying to turn her or getting hit while trying to restrain an intoxicated patient. Justifying their behavior coupled with a complicated reporting system led me to avoid reporting it.
