When it comes to brain health, nurses talk a good game with their patients, but what about the nurse’s brain? Just like all aspects of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, nurses must face up to the fact that they’re human beings, too, and their brains and bodies need thoughtful care just like anyone else’s. How do you take care of your precious nurse’s brain?

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

American citizens pay for their health insurance through premiums and co-pays, but they remain at risk for substantial out-of-pocket medical bills after receiving treatment for just one illness or injury that could leave them filing for bankruptcy. According to the film Healthcare at the Tipping Point , 40,000 unnecessary deaths occur each year due to delayed care and a lack of health insurance, and more than 60% of personal bankruptcies in the United States are associated with medical bills.

Abstract Critical discursive analyses offer possibilities for equity-oriented research, and are a resource for addressing resistant social problems, such as child neglect and abuse (CN&A). A key challenge for discourse analysts in health disciplines is the tensions between materiality and social constructions, particularly at the site of the body. This paper describes how Donna Haraway's ideas of figuration and technobiopower can augment critical discourse analysis to address this tension.

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.

Did you know that roughly three to ten percent of total healthcare costs are attributed to theft and fraud? That’s a staggering number, considering the US spent $3.6 trillion on healthcare in 2018 and $4.3 trillion in 2021. Three to ten percent translates into $300 to $400 billion. Unreal! These are big numbers. But make no mistake: any degree of theft can add up to big losses over time and jeopardize the health of the practice.

Abstract Under the influence of neoliberalism, academic work faces mounting pressure to align with imperatives of visibility and perceptibility. Traditionally criticised for working in isolated ‘ivory towers’, academics are now compelled to showcase the societal value of their work through performance metrics and evaluations. Paradoxically, these efforts have unintentionally led to the rigidification and commodification of academic work, stifling the production of knowledge beyond predefined par
