Theresa Brown is a hospice and oncology nurse that was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in 2017. The experience showed her what it’s like to be on the other side of the nurse-patient relationship, but she was shocked at how poorly she was treated by the healthcare system even with all of her prior knowledge and experience. The ordeal led her to write a book titled, “Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient,” which chronicles what she learned from her time in the hospital.

A recent analysis of patients with multiple myeloma, led by Cleveland Clinic researchers, found that the biggest risk factor of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during the immediate peri-autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation phase is a prior history of the condition, underscoring the importance of monitoring these patients. VTE, or blood clots in the veins, is a serious yet often under-diagnosed condition, and is the second most likely cause of mortality among cancer patients.

Long hours, stress, and worry about clients or patients have always been part of the job. But unfortunately, provider burnout is now on the rise. The most recent data indicates a 24% increase in providers who exhibit at least one manifestation of burnout and a 16% decline in provider satisfaction.
